Older cat breathing problems by Patty
I have an older cat who just turned 19 this month. He gradually began developing some breathing problems over the last few months. It appears that he can no longer purr, but wheezes instead. I took him to the vet a few months ago, they x-rayed his lungs and said that they were fine and showed no...

Older cat defecating by where she eats by Mike
We feed our cats (3 - adult mail, young adult female, 19+year old female, all spayed/neutered) on a window box in the kitchen. Over the last several weeks our oldest cat has been defecating at the base of the window box, mostly in the same spot (we have 3 boxes, scooped once - twice a day). She's...

OLDER CAT EATING NEW KITTEN'S FOOD by JGreenfield
I see this board is getting hit with a lot of "off-topic" messages :- (. Anyway, I have a ten year old female cat. We just recently brought home a 3 month old female kitten. At first there was lots of hissing and slapping by the older cat. We kept the kitten quarantined to our bedroom during...

older cat getting litter box trained. by Stephen
I finally convinced my parents that it would be advisable to make our family cat an "inside cat" as they live in an area that has lots of dogs and even a couple of cayotes. BUT, I cannot get this 6 year old cat to use the little box. When I train a kitten to use the box, I know to just put in some...

Older cat holding down the younger one? by J.G.
I have a question that I'm hoping someone knows the answer to! I apologize in advance for the long-winded explanation. I have two cats - one is a 5 year old domestic medium hair, and the other is a 9 month old Ragdoll. They get along great, and the younger arrival has definitely improved the...

Older cat meowing at night !! by S.S.
My cat is 15 yrs old and in the last few months has begun meowing loudly for no apparent reason. For the past year and half he has been on thyroid medication and his levels appear to be under control, the vet hasn't found anything else wrong with him and says that it might be related to his...

Older cat not using litter box all the time by Andy Cuffe
I'm having trouble with my 18 year old female cat only using the litter box about 99% of the time. That last 1% is getting very unpleasant! This has been developing for several years, so I don't think it's a health problem such as a UTI. She sees the vet regularly and is displaying no other...

Older cat pooping in house & generally not grooming self by [email protected]
Hi, We have a 16 year old cat, who up til recently always went outside to "do his business". However recently he's started to poop inside the house. He's quite an elderly cat, he's certainly not as sprightly as he used to be - he's also blind which doesn't help! Also, his fur has started to mat...

older cat refuses to use litterbox by Jason Travis
We have a total of four cats and three litterboxes. I have read and been told that you have to have a seperate one for each cat, but I have witnessed the three younger cats mixing and matching. The oldest one *used* to use the litterbox. She is around eighteen years old -- used to be hell on...

Older Cat Vomiting Issue by Carol A
My 13-14 year-old cat Abby is having trouble keeping her food down. It's not a constant problem, but it's a messy one. It comes up almost immediately after eating and is usually barely digested, so I don't even know if it's made it to her stomach. I've tried cutting her portions back to 1/4 cup...

Older Cat with a lot of new symptoms by Rachel
My 18 year old cat has recently lost a lot of weight. I noticed today that he hasn't been eating and he has begun to pee just outside his litter box. His back legs seem unstable and he drinks a lot of water! He's become much more lethargic, where he used to stay up all night a meow at my husband...

Hi, I have a 7 year old Siamese named baggy. He chews on plastic bags and throws up his food. I have tried many different diets with no luck. I recently purchased pet grass (which has yet to grow). Any other ideas? Thanks, Jonathan

older cat with possible arthritis by Glitter Ninja
I swear, when it rains it pours... just as we might be getting one cat's conjunctivitis under control, another cat gets happy time with the vet ;) My cat Spam is about 13 years old. When he was a kitten, he had apparently been left outside in the cold and it caused some damage in his hind legs. ...

Hi folks, Newbie here. I have a beloved older male cat, Dickson, who's about 12. He's been on his own for about 3 years, since his mother died. My girlfriend really wants to get a new kitten. We live in a large loft, but there's really only one logical place for the existance of litter boxes...

Question
Older cat, puzzling set of symptoms ... thoughts? (long, sorry!) by purpleprose
Hi all, it's my first post here on the boards. I just thought I'd post about my 14-year-old cat Sunny. It's quite a long story but I'll keep it as short as possible. She's had pain in her legs for a while which several vets have put down to arthritis, which makes it very hard for her to climb or...

Hi all: I have a 16 year old Siamese (Captain). He recently became very lethargic (more than usual) and stopped eating and drinking and became severly dehydrated. Took him to the Vet. She took x-rays and found he had a very small fracture in his spine and some veterbrae were tearing away due...
