Welcome back!
Strokes in dogs are not common, but contrary to a lot of misconception, they can and do occur. However, they are much different than in humans in several ways. In humans, one side of the face will suddenly start to droop, or one side of the body becomes partially or totally paralyzed. This does not happen with dogs; instead they will develop a very sudden head tilt, start to circle and than fall, or lose control of their legs.

Whenever you bring a cat into your home, you are asking a lot of him. In most cases, the situation works out very well, and says a great deal about the bond between cats and humans. You ask your cat to scratch in only one place, instead of everywhere in his territory. You ask your cat to relieve himself only where you want him to. You ask him to ignore his ability to jump gracefully from countertops and tables. And you ask him to adjust his natural nocturnal schedule to your daytime schedule.
