It is good news that Mirabelle is ok, old cats are ike old people they like a lot of attention and will kick up a fuss to get it ;-) |

Must say it was good to read that others with older cats also suffer from the crying problem. |

9 odd years before mine (2 males and a female - who loves her 'voice' already) start, then :-( |

My old lady cat, Suzi is also 16 and she has for the past couple of years taken to yowling like mad - she's been thoroughly checked and ails nothing. |

Took Mirabelle to the vet and she was given a thorough check over. Didnt have a raised temperature or any discomfort being checked over . The vet feels she has just gone a bit senile and the crying is just one of those things! |

Yes our old male cat Puss Puss. Who lived to 17 plus. Did get cystitis too at aged 15. And he had to stop having any dry food all including any treats . He also developed a thyroid problem so was on tablets too for about 3 years till he died |

It is best to feed male cats on wet food from the get go. They tend to like it better anyway :-) |

Another result from our cat getting cystitis (for the 2nd time) earlier this year. We had to stop giving him dry food a few years ago.. |

My little man is only 5 but since he was a kitten, he has always announced to the world when he is going for a pee in his litter tray. |

My cat, although she was only 8 at the time, displayed similar symptoms. She passed a small stone in her litter tray, and the vet diagnosed bladder stones. She was given a short course of treatment, then prescribed special "bladder support" food - she preferred the dried, and she has been fine ever since - she's now 16 years old herself. |

I had this with an elderly female cat in France. Following Vets advice she had another year snoozing in the sun and catching voles. We had to change her diet quite dramatically. |
