Aging
Aging:
A cat is old at nine years, but its old age can be extended. It will stay at home,
wanting only peace and quiet; it will sleep more than before; it will prefer lying
in corners away from family activities. Its diet should include less meat and
more fish, fresh cheese, and broth, with some fat, but no sweets or tidbits from
the table. As it ages, the cat will lose aggressiveness, its sight and hearing
will become less acute, it will tend to gain weight, and its bodily functions
will be less regular. An aged cat should have a regular checkup by a veterinarian. Estimating
