You may recall Mabel, the senior cat we are sub-fostering. She is old but unfixed and has been going into heat for the past couple of months. When the heat cycle runs down she seems to become depressed. She doesn't want to eat and just lies in her cat bed all day. Is this normal behavior for a cat whose been through the heat wringer many, many times?
I don't have a lot of experience with unspayed cats, esp elderly ones! We have decided to get her spayed on the 24th, but I worry that she seems so blah now. She did this about a month ago so I think it is tied to the heat cycle. Back then she perked up after a few days and went right back into heat, so I'm guessing it's the same thing now. Anybody ever see this?
