Hi all, I am new to this site. I have two older cats. The oldest is 14.5 years and he is starting to really lose weight. I know he has bad eyes and pretty sure he has arthritis and from reading a few of your posts (the night howling), I think he is losing his hearing too. I know his teeth are in bad shape, but I can't help him regrow them now. (Many an early years of outdoors hunting. He has been an exclusive indoor cat for a long time now. He always sleeps with me, usually above my head, but now he is staying under the covers. My guess is to keep his little body warm. I have tried to suppliment his diet with wet food to help put some weight on him, but all he does is drink the liquid. He still eats some of his regular food, but I need some advice on how to put weight back on this guy. Thank you so much for any help you can offer. I just love him so much and want to make him feel better.
