Thank you for the replies.
She has not been drinking a lot, nor peeing a lot; Diabetes was the first thing I thought of because my dog is diabetic. The vet mentioned a possiblity of tooth problems at the base of her back teeth, but couldn't see anything. She didn't have any obvious signs of tapeworms (rice) and she's been thoroughly dewormed. She still is doing a good job of grooming and she runs her motor (purrs) whenever I pet her.
I doubt that her owner will want to do a blood test. I'll certainly lobby for a full blood panel.
I didn't realize that older cats need different nutrients. I'll look for some special food for her this week end.
She's really a sweet little old lady. I never would have guessed she was so old. She still has the hiss to keep the others at bay
Mary
