Hello,
I am new to this site but am trying to find advice regarding our 18yr old, female Birman.
She has always been a very unsociable little thing, very scared of any new person or visitor, never sits on our lap, always prefers to do her own thing in her own time and will never venture from her own little environment.
A couple of weeks ago, she decided to jump from a second floor balcony onto a single storey flat roof and onto the ground. This was completely out of character for her and when I picked her up, I expected her to be seriously injured however, she just struggled from my hold and ran back to her favourite chair, jumped up and went to sleep. We had her checked over and she has no ill effects from her jump.
Why did she suddenly jump ?
Why is she now yowling very loudly Day and night ?
It's driving us crazy as she sleeps right next to our bedroom.
I have been reading about cat senility and dementia and wondering if she may be suffering from something like this.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
