what behavior does indoor cat exhibit when dying?

Answer 1

Lethargy, lack of interest in food, the "light" goes out in their eyes. These are the same symptoms that an ill cat displays so the cat does not necessarily have to die. Many illnesses of "old age" in cats are treatable. The cat needs a vet evaluation to see if anything can be done.

My 22 yr old cat is "dying" as her kidneys are failing. She is perky, loves her food, moves around the house and garden even though she is severely arthritic and has a happy life. Her veterinary needs are attended to.

Answer 2

it depends on what its dying from, how old it is, and how long it has been an indoor cat. but if the cat is old, it will probably start to slow down, and not eat as much. it's pretty much just like an outdoor cat.

Answer 3
