This is Mandy. She is 16 years, been with me since 4 months old.
Mandy has few if any teeth. She has all 4 fangs (the canine teeth). Since Dec 15, she has stopped grooming herself. I have brushed her 3 times, I get loads of fur on the brush. Most of the tufts are out, now.
Mandy is not eating any kibble. She licks all the gravy off the can of Friskies shreds, and maybe eats a few shreds. She only poops once every other day; not surprising as she is not eating much. At the moment, she does not feel skinny, I don't think she is losing weight.
All she does is sleep, curled up in this cat house. I pet her, pick her up and snuggle, I can't get a purr. She does not have much energy to fuss when I brush her. She sometimes opens her mouth to complain about the brushing, but she makes no sound. None of this activity - or rather, lack of activity - is normal for this cat.
I lost 2 cats in October, 6 days apart. Crystal, and then Bobby. This is what happens when you have a house of senior pets.
Mandy has a vet appointment for later this morning. It occurred to me folks on here may have some ideas, things to ask about, things for me to try. Wish I'd thought to post for info sooner.
