He has really gone downhill in the last year. We suspect kidneys and thyroid but he has always hated the vets and car there we haven’t taken him, particularly bearing his age in mind. In himself he’s now very demanding, has no boundaries, and we think dementia. He follows our dog around, and snuggles up to him to sleep (or keeps dabbing him to lick his head!).
He mews very very loudly for food, but this evening keeps pacing and pacing and stopping to stare into my ears and keeps mewing. I have a feeling he’s complaining about the food change. He doesn’t groom himself, but allows me to brush him, just about. He generally seems as ok as you would expect a cat of that age to be, but he is also really wearing. A vets trip would be counterproductive and I’m scared would do more harm than good at his age. Also, fighting with him to try to take tablets.
Any suggestions?
