I'm worried about mine. I know she's now around 11 (uncertain of exact age but close enough), but seems basically uninterested in playing anymore. I can sometimes rouse her and just a few weeks ago - amazingly - she was acting like a kitten again chasing some toys around, etc. but now she pretty much just lays around a majority of the time. Definitely seems more hesitant to jump as mentioned in my other thread - so she is on the antinol. It just breaks my heart to think that she's maybe spending most of the time not feeling good . Is there anything I should be looking for? Appetites is pretty much normal and sometimes I'd have to say she acts kind of like her usual self. Does getting older simply equal much more content to just lay around? It's what she does most of the time. Another thing she seems to do alot of his licking herself - as though she's going to wash but starts and then quits. Often spends time licking / sort of chewing at her back feet. Was just in to the vet for her wellness visit and got her rabies and distemper. Maybe I'm just reading more into this than I really should. She still has her typical moments of acting as 'normal', but it seems like they are far less frequent.
I should add there are no changes in litter box habits. Also no weight loss. Rather, the vet said she picked up close to a pound since last year and so she doesn't want to see her gain too much more. And yet, going back to her visit in '18 - she was just about the same as at the recent visit.
