Our old girl who is nearly 18 has been getting thinner over the past few months. Still eats ok but we’ve noticed she doesn’t groom herself as well and she’s looking very ratty now.
This morning I’ve come down to a very strong smell of urine and have realised it’s her - she is reeking.
Is this possibly a urine infection or kidneys failing? I will take her to the vet tomorrow but I’m not sure if it will be a euthanasia conversation or something that can be treated. She isn’t a cat that will tolerate daily tablets nor a lot of vet visits or intervention - she’s been mainly an outdoorsy cat.
Any idea on how best to proceed? Poor baby, I feel sorry for her as she’s quite rickety so I don’t want to prolong pain or suffering but she’s eating ok, drinking more though and is sleeping in odd places. I think she’s unhappy but as animals do is powering through. I don’t want the vet thinking I’m heartless and want her gone.
