I am exploring the possibility that my Tigger may be experiencing some dementia. Of COURSE, she is going to the vet in a couple of days, just to check out her numbers, but I wanted to ask some ideas how to make her more comfortable in the meantime.
Her primary problem is excessive/strange vocalization at night. She seems restless and tromps all over me trying to get me up. If she does have some dementia I was wondering what would comfort her - turning on the light a little bit? Talk to her, turn on the tv? I'm thinking it's the darkness because she settles down around 6 a.m. and sleeps...
She also seems to be forgetting that she has just been fed. Again, hyperthyroidism could cause excessive hunger, but she could also be forgetting. She has been tested many times for thyroid, always ok so far...
Anyway, thanks for any ideas. (sleepless in Colorado) LOL
