We have had our darling cat from a kitten (rescue) and he has had 16 years so far of pure luxury! He is free to go out via catflap but chooses to spend more time indoors nowadays. He used to be quite the hunter but now the mice and few and far between.
The last week or so he has not been smelling too good. Often passing wind, at times when he is presumably relaxed because I'm stroking him. But generally he just has a bit of a smell about him. He has always been a clean boy, aren't they all, but possibly isnt cleaning himself as often. I will try and monitor this.
He isnt the lightest boy but not a fat cat either. He eats 1-2 pouches a day of wet food. And good quality biscuits to make up for this from my morals point of view.
Is it common for older cats to smell? Any ideas what it could be if not just old age? He does seem to have aged quite a bit recently and so I am worried something may be up.
