My cat is about 17 yo. He is in great shape, active, shiny fur, friendly. He has had a much better appetite as well. Our new place gives him more freedom to move around the house
And he is whiney and needy. I can sit in the comfy chair doing nothing and he ignores me. Then i start to get ready for bed and he is rubbing up against with a whiney meow. He also gets me to get him food when he has some in his bowl. If i don't leave the bedroom door open he comes and wakes me up by patting my face.
Once he settles down he snuggles all night, but it is frustrating to not have him sit on my lap when i am available
