Our eldest cat has been with us nearly 4 years. She’s at least 16 years old. For the last 6 months she has become increasingly skinny, there is no absolutely no fat on her at all. She eats occasionally but drinks and pees gallons. We discussed with the vet before and she was checked for diabetes and that was ok so most likely kidney failure for which there isn’t a specific treatment.
The last 2 weeks she’s been getting increasingly distressed from around 3am yowling and hard to settle (she sleeps in our room) and this winds up one of the other two (who she is attached to but doesn’t sleep input room and never has as she scratches everything).
I can’t tell if this getting distressed is a sign we are nearing the end. She has access to water and a litter tray overnight so it isn’t that. Shesaso wanting to soend much more time with us which is a big change. I’m also worried as in a week we are going away and a cat sitter will be popping in twice a day to feed them
And not sure how she will cope.
