Feline Dilemma

[matchless]

we have two old Cats, one a moggie and one a Siamese tabby point,
the moggy is about 19 years old and the Siamese 15, the thing is that the Siamese is becoming ever more incontinent and the moggie has started wailing and crying right through the night, there is no sign of her being in any pain, as a matter of fact she seems to be in perfect health to me apart from some bald patches in her fur,
last night was the worst so far, she woke the OH up every hour right through the night and OH only got about 4 Hours sleep,
any suggestions as to what do do with the pair of them before they make our lives unbearable? and has anyone got any thoughts or had the same problems and sorted them out maybe?

Put them both out at night,11pm- 7am, 3 nights should do it, you will be amazed at the improvement.

OH wants to put them both to sleep, she says she is going to take them to the vets later this week.

We have a cat flap so that is not an option, but a good idea, better than the one the OH has.

Take a vet's opinion - that's what they're for.

Putting two possibly sick cats out on a freezing night beggars belief - wake up!

they can come and go as they please, day or night as we have cat flaps, they always have food down as well, they do choose to just stay indoors though especially at the moment with it being so cold.

They sleep for about 20 hours a day too.......lucky blighters, but when the moggy is awake, normally at night time we certainly know about it

What is wrong with caging them at night in the kitchen? As for howling at night I would seek a vets advice.

Added: I have always wanted a Siamese, but with 3 dogs...
