That's a fascinating article, Jac! Thanks for posting. I'm pretty sure that's what Patches had; I thought it was senility. She'd gotten careless about using the tray and often acted dissociated and would let out very mournful meows as if she didn't know where she was..... |

Yes - and Tizzie. Terrible wails in the middle of the night. "Where am I?". Very sad |

Now that you point that out, it was at night! I don't remember her ever doing it in the daytime, now that you mention it...good observation! |

A friends of mine's cats both had this, at first one of them started to loose the plot really badly. This was some time ago but she (the cat) constantly confused her fathers toolbox and other 'tray' like items for the litter tray, and constantly wanted feeding which wasn;t too bad to begin with, but in the end both of them ended up deteriorating and were just so confused about everything in life.  They ended up being PTS. It wasn't a happy life for them. They were sisters and about 18 I think when they died. |

It must be so sad and upsetting when you watch your cat grow old and senility sets in ... |
