Hi, Thanks for the swift reply. I feed her the whiskas pouches , I put cat biscuits out but she does not really seem to like those much. Not sure when last vet check was as only had cat a week or so but will definately take her to vets for a check up.

If she checks out fine for physical problems, then I suggest you give her a good bath. Older cats don't wash themselves very well and an occasional bath would help.
