[quote=Anonymous]Get the cat checked out if you haven't? We have a nearly 17 y.o. cat. She has kidney failure. She used to sleep with us every night. Now, she basically lives in the kitchen/pantry/dining room area. We moved her litter box up to the pantry (not ideal but it stopped the potty accidents). She sleeps on a blanket on the table (on a corner). We keep a light on for her at night. All of that has helped. But, she's old. She requires more reassurance and maintenance. She's a beloved member of our family so, while inconvenient at times, we do it. We owe it to her. She's otherwise fine. She's just old and with some dementia. I urge you to reexamine how you can change things to suit her in her remaining months. Move the litter box somewhere more convenient for her? Keep lights on at night? Keep her somewhat confined (baby gates)? I personally think it's somewhat cruel just to discard an otherwise happy animal b/c their health problems are inconvenient.[/quote]
