I have an elderly male cat that is about to turn 19 years old. Over the past year,maybe 2 years, he has developed an occasional twitching health issue that now needs interaction/diagnosis Twitching is now present 24/7. I am pretty sure it is an elderly related health issue.
Background:
He is/has been healthy for his elderly age; jumps up and down 4 foot tables, in a nice demeanor, runs around the house with a younger female cat.healthy appetite. Indoors only. Spring water/PUR filtered water only. Quality cat food,
Occasional Constipation comes around every couple of months which is treated with Tiki Cat food with pumpkin and Cat lax.
He usually has to eat what i believe is quality cat grass(catladies)
Vet? If i had my way, i would bring him every day for a checkup. Looking this week for a visit.
He sleeps with me 364 days a year/365 days in leap year.
About the twitching. Any kind of sound, especially sharp sounds , say shutting a door, touching him suddenly, , sounds a plastic bottle can make,...he likely twitches from it.
If your familiar when kittens are born, they suddenly twitch alot for weeks,. The twitching is similar to that.
His hind leg/body area, loss of mass/muscle 'may ' be related or a separate elderly health condition.
