Luz - I hope that IS all that is behind the problem. Hugs to your 'old girl'

and let us know how you get on!

Can only agree with the good advice already here and hope it all sorts itself out.

Am slightly confused though (not hard and it is Monday!

) - do some people not have litter trays at all? I thought even if your cat had permanent outside access you would still have a litter tray indoors? Also, where do cats without litter trays go to the toilet? I wouldn't want cat poo in my garden but I especially wouldn't want my cats to go in someone else's garden - one of my (long list of) reasons for not letting my cats out is that I don't want them to be a nuisance to other people. I'm very confused.

I started her with a cat litter tray which she started to use but has now stopped dead and is back to soiling anywhere she can. Even if all the doors are open she will not go outside.
She lost her best friend Barney my 15 year old dog 4 weeks ago and she really missed him.
Here she is looking lovingly at his final resting box before we buried him.

Since then she has slowly gone downhill losing weight but eating like she hasnt eaten in days. Im taking her to the vets tomorrow. Wish us luck!
I heard it could be thyroid problems, shes 16 what do you think?

I do hope you get some answers at the vets, it could be health related.
