Request Help: Might take 13yo to vet

Symptom: My male tabby woke up while I was watching him. His head
tilted from side to side like a see-saw, fast and beyond his control
seemingly...maybe a dozen times. He wasn't distressed, nor did his
behavior seem to change since. Maybe it was a stroke? Could it be
kidney related? The very next day he urinated on a cushion of his that
I moved to an new spot. This isn't necessarily connected. He's oldish
and its not the first time he's urinated to show displeasure about
something. He's an inside-only cat. It was hard to search the group
for such a strange symptom so I'm asking before I get worried enough to
take him to the vet. I'm hopeful someone here might have seen
something like this and discovered its cause or something.

Ta,
buzz

Well I appreciate the "second". He's not suffering so far as I can
tell.

His symptoms sound very serious. Please take him in.

I sure would be worried enough to take him to the
vet.

I agree, because sometimes an animal may not
seem to be in pain or suffering, but, if they act as
you say which is definately not "normal", it could
get worse or even fatal, if as you offered it could be
a stroke. I am not a vet, and only a vet could be
the one to determine the cause, treatment and
outcome of your pet's condition. I sincerely hope
all turns out well for you. God bless you. Bttngl....

That is how I knew something was wrong with Rumble he was not acting
normal.

And cats are notorious for not showing pain.

I have this little voice that says "No way is $50 going to turn
anything up or produce a cure." Then I'm actually worried and feeling
like I just got a parking ticket.
