Things can change fast at that age. How about her hearing? Does she respond to your voice? I would guess that unless it is anxiety related Feliway won't help. If is, it might. karen |

everything is fine says her vet
Has your cat had a T4 test for thyroid function? This is a specialized test that is not included with basic bloodwork. Hyperthyroid cats commonly exhibit the behavior you describe and it is a condition that is seen in older cats. If you haven't done this, or even a basic blood profile I would definitely recommend you do both before you decide this is a behavior issue.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way." - W.H.
