Yeah I guess so - thanks for the replies. I'm going to try Feliway and see if it has any affect. Otherwise, yeah, I guess we'll just have to live with it!

Yah - you should take the cat to the vet and get a blood test done - it could be something very simple that is easy to take care of. Try to find a vet that is close by and takes only cats. Weight loss in older cats is often a sign of kidney problems -- my cat takes sub-q fluids for that -...

Have you tried homemade food? My cat has serious allergy problems, though she is not a picky eater, and she has eaten homemade food for about 12 years (she is 21 now). We got a recipe from the vet - my vet is really against homemade food, but she gave in, and got us a recipe - it has...

You should watch her to make sure that she is not grooming herself bald, or giving herself sores. If she is, it could be a food allergy.

Yah - I think the cardboard box idea is a good one. Also does she have a favourite person in the house? If so, get an old shirt or underwear from that person and put it in the box. She will feel comforted by the smell.

hehehe - that is a very funny story about Pickles. Were you successful in turning him into an indoor cat? Luckily my cat has always lived in a house in a quiet area, so we never had this problem.

Hi: My cat has had this problem a few times during her lifetime. Is the poo normal, or is it diarrhea? Also, does the cat seem to be pooing more than usual? My cat first had this issue 14 years ago, when she was 7 years old. She was mainly only pooing outside, not peeing, though. After...

If I were you, I'd let the cat onto the porch - if it's completely screened in, how much trouble could the cat possibly get into? After all, there are dangers everywhere, and we cannot protect our pets from everything. My cat is 21 years old and still goes out onto the deck - it has a gate...

Hi - Thanks for the replies. Yah - I think it may be dementia - her personality has changed a lot. She used to be very independent, and when she was a kitten (I'm actually not much older than she is, so I can't actually remember that much about when she was a kitten), she was very aggressive...

My cat has an electric blanket and enjoys it, but not as much as when we first got it. She also enjoys lying beside the gas fireplace, but she is now a little senile and has burned her nose a couple times. She prefers suntanning but we haven't bothered to get a sun lamp for her. Has anyone...

Hi: I have a 21 year old cat - she's a short-hair, tabby. For the past couple years or so (this has been gradually building up), her personality has changed and she has developed some bad behaviours. She does go for regular checkups at the vet and we have mentioned the problems to her doctor...
