sometimes older cats develop thyroid problems
this can slow them down mentally and physically
so worth having it checked out if need be

How old is the moggy Hayley? all animals (including humans) lose brain cells as they get older (I've lost most of mine I think).

My son's dog stares at the wall on occasions, fixated..........and she's quite elderly now, as did my old doggie towards the end.

Unless there is a physical problem I dont think there is much you can do about it, except take the cat to the vet and explain the problem.

Just make sure it's loved and cared for, as I'm sure you do anyway.

When our cat was about l5, he started to get very lazy and slept a lot, although he stayed very affectionate. He did not eat very much, but still caught the occasional mouse or bird. He did not become incontinent - he stil used the bath if he was taken short! He died when he was 16 and is still missed.

Not sure about 'senile' as such, but yes they suffer from the illness' of old age ..... what are the symptoms Hayley?

Have you asked it to lie down on a couch and talk about the problem Hayley? ))))

it could be something simple, like......not enough grub maybe?
