| ...from Merry Murphy Pet Sitters A lot of veternarians believe a cat enters old age at 12. Other experts will classify your cat as being old at 15. In other words, 12 is the new 15! Your cat as he enters old age will begin to sleep even more...as much as 18 hrs. a day. So it is time for you to start watching the calories! Most of this task can be accomplished by out-lawing the fatty foods in the forms of table scraps, no matter how much you wish to spoil your pet. More importantly than ever, keep little bowls of water spread strategically throughout the house. Cats need water, but for some reason need convenient reminders. When your cat reaches age 12, consult with your veternarian about a planned diet that prevents obesity but still provides all the nutrients.
