Default Re: Should I Put My Cat Down?

[ QUOTE ]
The cat that I own now is currently 22 years old.

That's crazy as hell. My earlier cat that died was 15.



Baby Kitty (1984-1999)


[ QUOTE ]
You say she is peeing around the house.

[/ QUOTE ]

Haven't noticed pee, just poop, if that makes a difference.


[ QUOTE ]
Is she going more often than normal?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think so. I don't know, I don't really monitor her bathroom habits. My mom cleans the litter box, it's in her room.


[ QUOTE ]
What about her water intake? Does it seems like she drinks a lot of water?

[/ QUOTE ]

I really don't know. They always have water and food out.


[ QUOTE ]
When you were last at the vet, what exactly did they do to determine she was fine? Did they do any blood work or just an exam?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not sure, I have a weak concept of time. I think they took her temperature, weight, and other stuff. I think the actual appointment was an oral examination. They cleaned her teeth. I don't think they did any blood tests.


[ QUOTE ]
Also, how many cats do you have, and how many litter boxes do you have?

[/ QUOTE ]

We have 2 cats. The cat in question, Taj, is the oldest. The younger cat is 5.


[ QUOTE ]
Has anything changed recently around the house to stress her out?

[/ QUOTE ]

We stopped letting her outside during the day. Our apartment manager, an idiot, recently decided that our cats can't go outside any longer. Someone moved in, on the complete opposite end of the hall is allergic to cats, so ours can't be outside anymore. We still let them out at night, but that's it. I don't think that'd cause stress, though.

Your help is very appreciated. Thanks.
