mews, Pita here gonna let momma Andi meow....

Hey,
I just got done talking with a neighbor last night. She watches Pita when I go on vacation and I watch hers when she goes on vacation. She has 2 cats about 14 years old or so and just last year lost one of her 3 she had. She is rather concerned about one, and don't blame her. KB is a beautiful black cat that she took in after her mother rescued her from abuse and being pregnant (some a#% hat cut half her tail off). Still atleast the past 12 years or so she has been happy and loved. Now though she hides from the other cat and the humans who love her. She hides under the bed and acts like she does not even know where she is. From what we can figure out she is getting onset feline dementia. She is slightly overweight now but she does not come out to drink or eat, but suspect she does so when noone is home or everyone is asleep. They are taking her to the vet later this week but she is wondering if helping her to the bridge might not be the best. They do not want to see her suffer or be so scared. I am bringing this up hoping we can talk about it and find information. I know most of our kitty citizens are not the young kits they were (however in Pitas case still thinks he is). Moms, Dads, Kitizens...any ideas or thoughts?

thank you
Aunt Andi

Pita
