Hi - 14 yr old neutered male on mostly canned food + little bits of other meat (no garlic or other toxics) for treats 3-4 tims a day and using sand type litter has large softish clumps in box with almost no other types... I know he urinates and presumable does #2 as well but I'm a bit surprised not to see some smaller, hard #2's and/or more obvious #1's (balls somewhat harder than what he does now, which are all so similar. His box is bigger than most and he's an 'only' cat. He did have an anal gland vet 'fix' 2 yrs ago. His coat seems ok, not sleek, on the drier side, but not hugely so. I've looked at articles on e.g. CKD, h-thyroidism, etc. but haven't found def. points that match. Because I had to be away x 2 wks couple of yrs ago I thought his increased feed-me whining etc. was a result, but it's not getting better (wakes me for breakfast - didn't used to prior), and does seem more more meal oriented, but I put some of that down to age as I did for his now dislike of leash/harness walkies with me . Sleeps between meals mostly, doesn't play much any more, stays right beside me most of the time... Is it just age? Thanks!
