Curve balls... or spines, take your pick.

Bramble, the former foster and now 'fospice' kitten that I've been raising. She has no idea she is incredibly broken. She runs, jumps, climbs, pounces the adult cats, chews my dog's tail and generally gets into everything she shouldn't, just like a kitten should be doing. But she can't really feel her left hind leg that well, and there's some damage to the nerves leading to her colon. These things are only going to get worse as she ages, and I've already seen some progression in the month since she was diagnosed. Sadly, the vets don't think she's going to live much past the age of 1 year before the nerve damage becomes too severe.
