hi
My cat is 18years old and in the past 2months or so has started a steady decline.
She used to be quite, fat and fluffy. She is now more vocal, but has not got any lazier. She still atempts high jumps and things. But struggles down stairs.
She doesnt seem to extend her back legs fully. and her fur is slightly greasier and more matted. But she does not seem to be in any pain that i know of.
I want to know if i should have her put down or let her go naturally?
She seems just as active and not avoiding things she used to do like i would expect, she only does them slower.
However, she is eating nearly 3-4 times what she used to and she is using the litter tray more than 4 times a day. It smells awful! even though she is eating the same as a younger cat. She drinks loads of water and goes out regularly. and her stools sometimes have blood in them, more often than not, and she does not sit down fully after going
overall she seems happy tho
questions n suggestions?
