I too have a 16 year old cat.. I was at the vet this week and asked him what to look for and how old cats get.. he said the average age for a domestic is 14-15 years, the orientals can go 16-18 years.. he also said that what "goes" is the kidneys.. they go into renal failure, and there isn't anything that can be done at this age and at this stage.. - he asked me if he was drinking a lot of water.. mine isn't, and seems well at this time.. Is your cat drinking a lot??
