My cat Cindy isn't eating as much as she was. I think she is about 10-12 years old.

Hi. Unfortunately there are alot of reasons for a decrease in appetite. We would need a bit more information and do a full exam and some diagnostic testing to help find that answer. I would recommend you call your veterinarian in the morning to schedule an exam to help guide the testing to find the cause.
