[QUOTE="slsh, post: 454174, member: 8"] Our vet called it the "wandering meows". Figaro started doing this about a year or so before the end. He'd wander into our bedroom, stand in the middle of it and start meowing (he had the *coolest* meow - not musical at all, more like a creaky roar - makes me smile to remember it). I'd talk to him and I swear he'd look at me like "where did *you* come from?", even though I was sitting at my desk in our room when he came in - he had to walk right past me. Then he'd wander into another room and do the same thing - just kind of wandering and meowing, wandering and meowing. He hadn't really been a meower up until that point, unless he was getting after one of the younger cats. Vet checked thyroid and other stuff- it was all ok. He was just old. He definitely wasn't jumping up on counters, or anything else for that matter, LOL. He lost a lot of weight that last year, in spite of us changing diet to soft food with vet's guidance. Loved to be petted thru to the end, and purred like a motor as well. I didn't really see a whole lot of personality change in him as he got older, but, yes, he definitely did the wandering meow thing, a lot. He was 15. [/QUOTE]
