Ok. I`m curious to know what your elderly cats are like because now I have one
but I`m not sure what is normal.
Maisie seems quite bright mentally now that she`s had a few problems sorted out ( teeth, fleas, worms, plenty of nice food ) but physically she seems quite frail.
She is still quite thin and boney though she has filled out a bit.
She only lays on here side if she has catnip, She tries other times and gives up.
She has a funny way of holding her front legs, one or other is usually bent at the 'wrist' like she doesn`t want to straighten it.
And lastly, she doesn`t go out but if a gust of wind came along she`d get blown over! She was running around yesterday for the first time and fell over twice. Also she sneezed and almost fell over.
I`m wondering if this is all just because she is old? I`m thinking she has some pain/stiffness in her bones.
What do you think?
