My old cat is clingy and acting strange. What should I do about it?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

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

My old cat is becoming very clingy lately and I was told on here because of that and her age to take her to see a vet. I’m a teen and my mom said since she is eating and drinking it’s fine but I havnt seen her food bowl level move much and she is acting weird by doing things like laying in places she never lays. What should I do?

You can tell your mom you spoke to a vet who said seeing a vet is recommended in this case. Even though Custard is eating and drinking, her behavior can be the first sign of illness. I hope this helps!
