about Boyfie having a mouse in his mouth and still hunting it.
this morning he insisted he hadn't had his breakfast (he had) and stayed up
all day moaning about it. Last night he thought he hadn't had his 10 pm
sprinkles by 10.30. If course he had. It has to be done on the dot, but
he'd forgotten that he had them.

I'm a bit worried tbh.

is he losing his memory?

I was wondering how old as well. And he's had a tough few months. It
could certainly be transient, or maybe he should be checked by the
vet.

You have fallen victim to an old cat trick.
It is called the Starving Cat Routine and we
all have fallen for it.

One of our cats, Edgar (5 yo) comes around asking for more food at 11 pm,
after he had a very nice dinner at 7 pm and has had his fill of kibble as
well.

He usually refuses his treats at that time, which leads me to believe that
he asking for attention more than food. But he makes his "I need food, I am
starving to death" sounds.

Might Boyfie be hungry for attention? Is it that he is losing his memory,
or might he just need a tad more food?

Jay

Allegedly they can.

I know my dog Sampson developed what his vet called "doggie dementia"
later in life.

He's 12. He certainly has had a tough few months though. I've just had a
card from the vet saying his yearly jabs and health checks are due in a
couple of weeks so I'll mention it then.

I'm used to the Starving Cat Routine - he's an old hand at that. This was
slightly different. Plus "where is my mousie?" from the evening before when
he already had it in his mouth.. I'll keep my eye on him.

He gets lots of attention as I am home most of the time (still recovering
from my spinal operation). He has all the lap time he wants, I wait on him
hand, foot and finger (one of my grandmother's phrases) in fact he's a bit
spoilt I suppose.
He doesn't need more food. He'd like it, of course, because he has a good
appetite but the vet says his weight is perfect for his size so he doesn't
need any more (want yes, need no.) Two vets have said do not let him get
overweight because if he gets diabetes it wlll be impossible to medicate him
at home on my own because he is so timid and struggles if I try to hold him.
