Please send out prayers for my cat Lenny, he's an old one. He's not himself lately. He's hardly eating and when he does, it comes back up. I just lost my Zoe , suddenly a year ago and don't want to lose another one. Thanks.

What does your veterinarian say? Sometimes elderly cats have kidney problems that can be managed. He could just be getting dehydrated too. I hope whatever it is, he can be helped.

But don't wait too long to get him in to see the vet and watch his fluid intake carefully... fingers crossed for both of you!

I had an older cat that I fed lunch meat to (bologna). He loved it, BUT then he stopped eating, rolled on his side and just howled. Took him to the vet and he had...an upset stomach from too much sodium! Check that new cat food for sodium. The vet gave me some pills that were essentially 'tums'. Cured in in one day. Might try mixing some 'powered' tums in his tuna and see if that helps. But yep. vet is next if he doesn't perk up pronto. Prayers for the kitty and YOU.
WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.

They say tuna is filled with mercury now, could that be an issue. Of my 5 cats 2 are ancient and have eaten fancy feast most their lives. It's expensive but they rarely need vet care. I wish you well with this........he must be hurting

Thanks Winfrey and Yankee Clipper. It seemed to start after him eating 9 Lives can food. I'll have to get Fancy Feast in cans, they all loved that.

Be sure you check with your vet before you give your kitty Tums. Depending on what is going on, it might hurt more than help.

Forgot to mention.......fancy f also has broth with meat and fish in it. This is really pricey but they love it. Right now Commander Buttons is snacking on tuna,shrimp and whitefish in a decadent silky broth. How is he doing. You love him very much.

Do hope your little fur baby gets better. You might try adding a bit of water to the tuna.

Not drinking or peeing is not a good sign, TLC. Don't wait too long to get him to your veterinarian.

Your best bet its to go to the vet. Just like several others have said, older cats have special needs. High protein feed is not necessarily the best, especially if there are kidney issues going on. The vet can prescribe specific (feed or meds) after examining them.
I feel a lot more like I do now, then when I first got here

Hi Everyone, Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. He seems a lil better today than yesterday, he was up and around meowing, waiting for breakfast, gave him tuna again. I'm beginning to think it was the 9 lives cat food, maybe he got a bad can? We have 3 cats, so its hard to tell who drinks and who's peeing in the litter. I'll be staying home with him again today.

I hope he continues to improve TLC but I still would visit the Vet just to be sure.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Even if he doesn't eat, I'd feel better if he was drinking - dehydration could be his biggest enemy right now.

He seems fine this morning, just like his old self. Just wish we could fatten the old boy up. I really appreciate all of the prayers, well wishes and advice. PS. He even tried to steal Scoop's food. PPS. He's now even laying by me, being his pushy self for lovin.
