I just can't believe how much Popsie has changed in a year. He just turned 16 around the end of June and I can notice a change. For example, he's not sleeping with me through the night like he used to. He'll go off and do his own thing now. Yet during the day he wants constant affection. Just tonight I was running the vaccum and he jumped on the couch so I could vaccum him. He hates the vaccum and has never done that before. Oh, and the other day he was walking around meowing like something was wrong and a terd fell off his butt? I have no idea what that was about but he uses his litter box so I don't think it was on purpose. Anyway, it's just strange to see him change so much in so little time. Oh yeah and over the past couple years he's gradually gotten bonier in his shoulders and hips. I guess I'm kinda sad too cuz I don't like to see him getting closer to the rainbow bridge.

I know how you feel and what you are saying. My best suggestion would be to try to accommodate his older kitty needs, make a bed close to yours for him, help groom him, possibly different food. In no means is this a symptom of anything other then "special elder kitty" needs.
