Diego is my chonk kitty, not that Daisy isn't too far behind! And he's getting old, 15 right now and he is just in the early stages of struggling. I can tell he doesn't want to walk or jump as much.
He has started to sometimes poop outside the box. It seems like this happens when he gets startled, upset, something. It hasn't happened so often that it's like - damn again.
I tried (for 30 days), when we first moved into the apartment, one of those diffusers to help keep cats calm and not spray and whatnot. And it seemed to work. I noticed the kitties fought less and when it eventually ran out Diego pooped again. So. I just ordered a 60 day supply - here's hoping it helps.
When he's walking, it looks a wee bit painful, like when you've been sitting for too long and everything is stiff. I know at some point it will get to the point of a deeper conversation with my kid about him. I have some hemp oil for cats. Will see if it's still good and still if we can get into the habit of him taking it. I've ordered some supplements for him and hopefully that helps him feel better too.
Right now, he just wants love and sit next to you/lay on you, or be fed :) Love him!!
