Why is my senior cat acting strange, losing weight, and has eye issues?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Hi I have a 10 year old cat who has lost all sensibility, she walks in the road and cars have to stop she has never done this before . She has lost weight and I am sure that in a certain light she has one cloudy eye. And I'm sure one pupil is a tiny bit bigger than the other. Thanks

Poor girl. With those symptoms, I would highly recommend a vet visit as soon as possible. There are many different possible causes and the symptoms you're describing span multiple organ systems, so I can't give you a very accurate "most likely" list. The vet will start with a detailed physical exam and go from there, likely including some blood work and x-rays.
