Not so much an AIBU as a WWYD. Our cat is 20 and suffering from dementia. She gets very disoriented and wanders from room to room, emitting ear-splitting yowls. Only having her on our laps and stroking her stops the racket (presumably because she knows where she is and feels safe).
This is irritating during the day but is becoming torture at night. Last night she yowled non-stop from about 3 a.m.
My partner, who has to be up early for work, has started muttering darkly about trips to the vet. But she's been my cat for 20 years and we've been through a lot together. I don't feel I can just bump her off when she becomes inconvenient. On the other hand, we need our sleep, as does our 2-year-old DD.
We've taken her to the vet twice to check nothing else is wrong and that she's not in pain, but it really does seem to be just confusion.
WWYD?
