I have a 15 year old manx. I took her to the ver recently, and the vet said she is slightly underweight, and recommended a blood panel is done for hypothyroidism. I will get the results in a couple days. Now, shes been an outdoor cat all of her life, with acces to the garage for food, and water, but she always prefers being outside during the day, and sometimes night. If I have to give her medication everyday, than I would have to keep her inside 24/7. I can usually catch her in the morning, and sometimes at night, but it's not a garuntee. Shes dissapeared for days at a time before, and I couldn't risk that happening when she needs her meds everyday, and I'm pretty sure shed be miserable locked inside for the rest of her life. My mom suggested if that's going to be the case, then we might need to pit her down, so shes not miserable for her last days, but o dont know. Do you think shed get use to being locked inside eventually?
