For the last couple days Katy Kitty (tortoise-shell cat about 15 years old) has been just laying around and off her feed. Then yesterday I couldn't find her, but in the evening when I was walking over to shut the gate I saw her curled up against the fence in the desert tortoise pen. I went over and touched her and she wasn't dead, but sleeping very soundly. When I woke her up, she yowled at me. It's a really horrible sound. I gathered her up inside my jacket and brought her in the house. I have a house cat, so had to set Katy Kitty up in my closet.
Katy Kitty is my second favorite cat. I really love this cat. This a.m. she's still alive, but when I wake her up she YOWLS at me.
Sorry to bring the mood down. Just wanted to talk about it a bit. I'm sure she'll be gone by this evening. She's very weak. I think the yowl is because she's scared. She settles down when I stroke her.
I expected Bear-Boy to be the next one to go. He's the oldest, and is very thin and suffering kidney problems. Katy Kitty has seemed healthy right up to this episode.
Old age is the pits!
