misty my cat is 8 years old

it seems all of a sudden misty is sleeping alot. she is eating normally and seems ok in all other aspects. should i be concerned


Answer by Kate
As long as she seems healthy in all other aspcts ie eating ok and using the litter etc and shows no signs of illness then i wouldn't worry too much. As cats get older they will start to sleep longer, it is said that cats can sleep for 16 hours a day.

If you are particualy worried then there is no harm in having her checked over by the vet even it is to just put your mind at rest. :)
