i need someone to tell me it will be alright.
My old lady, Hariette, is 12 1/2. She has weighed, pretty consistently around 8.9 lbs for the past few years. The past month, she has dropped down to 8.4. I’m worried about the weight loss, but at the same time, I know she’s a senior cat.
She’s perfectly fine in all aspects. She eats, drinks, poops, plays, and is otherwise her normal self. The only thing that I’ve noticed is that her teeth are getting to the point that they probably need some dental work. This is a cost I can’t pay at the moment, unfortunately.
Could the teeth be the underlying issue or is she simply getting old and skinny like so many cats do? I’m honestly having anxiety attacks over it and obsessing over every little thing she eats.
