Older cat sleeps a lot
We have three cats, the oldest is 9 years old and sleeps much
more than the two younger cats. Is is normal for older cats to do a lot of sleeping?

I'm not an expert on cat health, but it probably is relatively normal.
For about a week, record exactly how long your nine year old cat is sleeping, and post it on here. it might help to determine whether or not it is normal.

I've seen things that say a normal adult cat sleeps something like 16 hours a day and even more as they get older. How's he acting when awake? Is he still alert and active while awake? If he's lethargic ALL the time that could be a sign of illness.
