[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cat is what 13.5 years old? I would do the same as the OP too, as I'm sure plenty of people would do. Most people don't rush of to the Vets at the second their old cats starts acting strangely. [/quote]

Vet here again - This is what the OP wrote:  "Now he is doing this other weird thing: he will be sitting in a dignified sphinx position as if he's asleep or falling asleep, or in zen mode or whatever, and suddenly his head will loll around and crash down hard on the couch, like he's out cold. WTH? It almost seems like he's passing out."

A cat does not pass out for no reason....and you are correct, most people don't rush out the first time their pet behaves strangely. But passing out is not just strange....it is serious. Why? Cardiac? Neurologic? Other?

I stand by the opinion that the cat should be brought in for an examination. OP can decline - that is his/her right, but OP should not expect any form of truly knowledgeable answer on this forum as to what is wrong with the cat. A physical examination is the place to start....along with witnessing the event or watching the recording of the event. And OP should NOT call the vet asking for their opinion. Obviously, they value the knowledge of an online forum more.....and frankly are too cheap to get an informed opinion.

I can here it now - "I'm not too cheap.....I just don't want to drag the cat in....." yadda yadda yadda.....I have heard it all before. If you valued our opinion, you would pay for it. But, no instead you expect to give her knowledge for free. Scratch that, sister, because I have been slammed giving care and advice to my actual patients and clients not some Susie-come-lately who thinks I should answer their phone call....[/quote]

[b]Who said I was going to call a vet to ask for advice? [/b]You have a serious problem.[/quote]

We ALL understand, OP, that you are not going to call a vet for advice.  You aren't going to call a vet or take your cat to a vet.  We get it.  Instead, you chose to post your question about your cat on an anonymous forum, and then angrily dismiss all advice (including that from actual vets) urging you to seek vet care for your pet.  We get it.  [/quote]
