Kallie is my 17 year old Calico that has been showing her age. We have noted for some time that she was starting to cry out when you touched her and seemed startled. We just noticed she was now running into things while walking around. It seems after doing some test we found that she has gone both blind and deaf. She has compensated very well and in fact was hiding the fact from us. She is restricting herself to our fireplace hearth, her bed and the walk to her food and litter box. It was on that walk to the litterbox that I noted she was running into things. She has lost some weight so we are now making food available without having to make her walk. She doesn't appear to be in any distress other than she now just huddles either in her bed or on the hearth. Even though it is warm here now we keep the gas logs on very low so she can curl up close to the warmth. I've never had to deal with a cat that has lost both sight and hearing. I would appreciate and thoughts or advice on how to deal with this. We have had her for a long time and want her last days to be the best that they can be.
