Normally, Snowball is perfectly content to cuddle with me at night, and I'm never disturbed by his nocturnal behavior. However, for the last couple of nights Snowball has been walking across my body and kneading my arm in the middle of the night. This nighttime kneading seems to be a little more intense than the kneading behavior that I usually see during the day. He is 12 1/2 years old, and I not sure if this change in his nighttime behavior means he's getting senile, or if it means something is physically wrong with him? I haven't seen any change in his daytime behavior. I'm planning to take Snowball to the vet soon, but I want to wait for milder weather before I do this.
Also, what are the signs of senility in an older cat?
