Old cat sitting in the rain :(
Discussion
Hi everyone, need a bit of help.
My cat is 16 and over the last few weeks has been acting a bit odd, he's been to the vets and confirmed that nothing is that out of the ordinary aside from his kidneys being a bit overworked. Due to this he's on a low protein diet.
But today especially, its lashing it down outside and he's just sitting in a puddle getting soaked, seems very odd behaviour.
Anyone else had anything like this with older cats?

Vets suggest getting a urine sample from cats (via plastic litter in a tray) as it is less stressful for the cat than taking it to the surgery for bloods.
However, it sounds as though yours needs to be seen promptly. Rather than pissing around (pardon the pun) with urine samples - especially if the cat isn't a habitual litter tray user - I'd take it in.

Maybe its the same sort of thing:
Our dog has liver cancer and due to the chemicals not flushing out of the body they are 'back logging' and starting to head to the brain giving a 'drunk' effect as the vet calls it.
She sometimes sits under a bush all day or (like yours) I have took her in as she was sitting outside in the pouring rain really not having a clue where she was.
