Sorry, I'm new and I'm not used to quoting xD.

Hehe, my cats do the same. I once had a cat which mewed so loudly outside my door at around 5 in the morning wanting to play. I woke up moaning when I heard it xD.

my cat is a sweet heart. well to me anyway. she is 10 years old and a dilute calico. she has a tendency to purr and lunge for your face though...i call her my lovey dovey devil kitty. i love coming home and having her there to greet me. even as i type this she is sitting on my chest. my older sister has 2 tuxedos they are brothers but you cant really tell one is super skinny while the other is bulky they are both super affectionate and talk back to you.

question for people who have owned older cats anyone know if its commen for them to get skin issues? just wondering luckys going in for his shots tomorrow or monday and we have to ask about his skin issues hopfully the vet wont say its stress this time cause theres no way its stress

My cat is 16 now I think and he has some minor issues with more dry skin and dander than he used to, but part of it is that he just doesn't groom himself as well as he did in the past. Part of that I think is due to age and another part is that he hasn't groomed himself as well ever since got diabetes and has slowed down in general. No major skin problems though.

What food are you feeding? Most skin issues are diet related.

Whiska's is a pretty terrible brand. What may not have been an issue yesterday can be an issue today, so to speak. Reactions can come in all shapes, times, and sizes from flaky skin and coat, to heavy shedding, to full on hives and bald patches. Besides being full of indigestible material and harsh chemicals, whiska's has a very low protein and fat content, not suitable for a cat. Try to find a food with atleast 40% protein and 20% fat, also including fish/seal oil in the diet can help with coat and skin issues. My lady cat had a very flaky coat with lots of shedding and dry fur, after making the switch to a grain-free food 42% protein and 20% fat.. Her coat is wonderful. Lush, fuller, and softer with very very little shedding, no dryness or flakes. =)
