General cat moan! (Senility)

[JackSpratt]

The vet said that senility was just something that happened and isn't treatable. He's not a cuddly kind of vet, so he tends to be very black and white about things.

I'm currently using Rescue Remedy and the Feliway spray (thanks Ruth ) and have in the past tried a herbal remedy called Boost. I don't know what else to do, but Old Mog is now asleep on the bed completely oblivious to the break down she caused earlier!

Has the vet discussed any other options to make old mog more comfortable? (I dont mean PTS BTW)

[JackSpratt]

Thanks, CC. Just sat outside with a cuppa to get some fuss time with the youngest...she's the least demanding and she's the one that hasn't had so many cuddles in the last few days. Bless her. 

They're all lovely, it's just tiring!

Aww Jack, Im sure your others understand. 

Hope all goes well at the vets

I'm sooo tired.... My Old Mog is being utter hard work. She's crying for no reason all the time as far as I can see. (Apart from the being diagnosed senile, that is!) It's completely exhausting and I feel utterly useless because I can't do anything. And the problem is, I'm spending so much time reassuring her the other cats aren't getting as much fuss as I feel they should.

I know things could be worse, but we all want what's best for all our cats, not just one of them. I'm getting a lift to the vets (hopefully this week) for Madams T4 test. The vet has reassured me twice that hyperthyroidism isn't the problem (he hasn't done a blood test, just done a physical), but I need to do the test. If there's any way to make this situation less tense, I've got to try it.
