Do you think my cat could have Alzheimers Disease or similar?

Posted by admin
Alzheimers
Cha cha asked:


I’ll feed him then when i leave he will follow me to the living room, then he will sleep, then wake up and cry and cry and cry so i follow him into the kitchen and he sits and waits for his bowl to be filled then when i point to it to show him its still pretty much full he realises and starts eating it again.

He also falls asleep at his water bowl.

He is at least 11 or 12.

Thanks

Constance

      Aww poor little guy.

      You should talk to his vet. Something does seem to be bothering him.

      Hope he feels better soon.

      Older cats do have memory failure,.. I’ve had over 20 yr. olds that did,.. but I don’t consider your cat’s age that old.
      It may be his eyesight’s not as good as before.
      The senior cat does need more attention to detail.
      Gd. luck.

      Senility and brain disfunction in animals is documented. As an owner I’d accomodate their level of function as much as possible, so if he needs help, be patient and do what you can to help him understand and deal with things. Some cats just do forget stuff and they get scared about it (the crying) so treat them gently and help as much as possible.
