it particularly is very unusual! First, i might attempt to renounce the cat from ingesting the clutter. because of the fact its the clumping type, i may be frightened that it might clump in the cat's abdomen and then act as an impaction. Esp. if she's ingesting a great volume or ingesting it always. there replaced right into a goat at school as quickly as that ate clumping clutter and have been given very ill and it required surgical operation. If the cat keeps it up, surgical operation must be required. you ought to objective changing the clutter to something much less captivating to eat. maybe shredded newspaper. jointly as this could take extra attempt to maintain clean, it ought to clean up one subject (ingesting cat clutter). while an animal (or human even) eats something they shouldn't yet have a yearning for, its called %.. it must be that your cat for in spite of reason is yearning some extra minerals that it's not receiving. make useful that that's on a properly balenced good high quality cat food. because of the fact the cat is older, it is likewise significant that the cat is able to eat it comfortably. i think of that taking the cat to the vet may be a good thought. Its a hazard that something like a mineral supplement or food exchange could help with this subject. because of the fact the cat is older too, blood paintings could be counseled. good success!

Hi there...senior cats develop age-related diseases which can cause dramatic weight loss and unusual changes in behaviour and appetite and thirst. Some of the more common age-related diseases are chronic renal (kidney) failure (CRF), hyperthyroidism, diabetes, etc. all which need to be evaluated by a veterinarian. If caught early enough each disease is manageable, however if left untreated can be fatal for a senior cat.

She sounds like she needs to get medical attention. This could be anything from a vitamin deficiency to serious illness! I wouldn't take any chances....get her to the vet A.S.A.P. Good luck.

just like how stupid we get when we get old the cats get stupid too.
