My cat is nearly 10 so not old-old but I think she is going a bit cuckoo. We went away for 10 days at the end of June and she was left home but fed every day by our friends and has a cat flap so could continue her normal routine. But since we got back she just hasn’t been herself.
She climbs up on the low roof several times a day, which she can’t get down from and meows at the upstairs window to be let in. She will go out there even if it’s raining or even spend all night up there and has taken to pooing up there too. The roof is covered in poo.
her eyes look different too, she sort of looks confused and rheumy, altho they aren’t milky she is also a bit unsteady on her feet.
I’ve wondered if she contracted FIV or if she is just going a bit barmy. She sleeps the whole day (if she isn’t on the roof) which isn’t unusual, and she doesn’t frolic anywhere near as much.
just wonder if anyone has any other ideas what could be up? Surely if she was stressed from us going away that would have settled by now 2 months later.
