I have a 16 year old cat, that has been losing a lot of weight over the last 1-2 months, and is now frail. In the last 2 weeks, she stared pooping outside of her litter box (but still peeing in it). She has been eating and drinking normally, but is also more reculsive than she used to be. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, and has been spending most of her time in the bathtub where it is cooler (it is hot here).
I plan on taking her to the vet early next week when I get can get her in, but I am bracing for some very bad news.
Any thoughts, recommendations?
For now, we're giving her lots of treats, but are largely leaving her along when she retreats to the tub. I'm torn on if I should just leave her alone while she is in the dark bathroom, or if I should make it a point to spend a lot of time with her in the bathroom. She purs a lot when I pet her.
Thanks all
