Our old cat, about 18 I think is going downhill. I just wanted to know what to expect.
He's a ridiculously fussy eater, we throw out more food than he eats. He likes fresh fish and chicken sometimes but often he won't eat for three days no matter what we tempt him with.
He's on thyroid meds and is almost wasting away he's sonthin but I can't force him to eat.
Recent changes in behaviour include howling at blank walls and drinking copious amounts of water.
We have a litter tray indoors but he likes to poop outside. Just recently he tiddled in the house and he looked as surprised as we did. He just half sat on the floor and peed.
The vet will say kidney issues and recommend a diet change but he barely ears any food as it is.
He's super affectionate, deaf and very chatty. Not sure what I should or could do for him. He's pathetically thin. a few weeks ago we were at the vets and he said just to monitor him.
Does anyone have any similar experience? Is this just what happens to old boys? He's getting a bit wobbly jumping from table to couch etc and spends most of his life on my lap.
