[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 454253, member: 439"] as others have said, don't know about cats, but certainly it happens in dogs. Wyley (a boxer) was never the brightest bulb in the box, and as he got older, he seemed to lose what little brain capacity he had. You could literally watch his thinking process of "why did I walk into this room? I don't know. Oh, well, I guess I'll lay down". He would walk in to empty corners and not be able to figure out how to get out of them (he could still see and hear). He eventually also had issues with eating (in his case, it was his gums that were horrible, but I didn't want to do surgery on him yet again) so we finally had him put down. He was at least 13 (we didn't know for sure, we guessed he was around 3 when we adopted him). [/QUOTE]
