Hi,

Since your cat is a senior, I highly recommend a vet visit and labwork ASAP. It sounds like he has gone blind, and this can be secondary to other issues, such as CRF, Hyperthyroidism, or diabetes. He also needs his blood pressure checked, as high blood pressure can lead to blindness as well.

All of these health problems are treatable, and the sooner treatment is started, the better off your cat will be.

The defecation can be behavioral, or it could be that your baby is trying to tell you that he isn't feeling well. Or, if he is blind, he may have a hard time finding his litterbox.

It's really impossible to tell you what is going on without a vet visit and labwork. Please take your kitty in and let us know how it goes.

Regards,
PHKitkat
