    Well, is the cat over 10 years old? There's a 25% chance that they have Kitty dementia.

    That raises to 50% by the age of 15.

    Actual symptoms are listed here.

    Symptoms of dementia in cats include:

    Acting disoriented or lost
    
    Vocalizing, often at night
    
    Staring off into space while looking at a wall or corner
    
    Forgetting to eat or drink unless food bowls are put in front of them
    
    Going to the bathroom outside the litterbox
    
    Changes in sleep cycle, being awake and active in the middle of the night
    
    Unusual interactions with other pets or family members (becoming more needy, more reactive, or more aloof)
    
    Forgetting that they have just been fed and asking to eat again
    
    Poor grooming habits
    
    Sleeping more than usual

    Mine too, only he's also extremely violent when he smells us and realises. My legs are covered in scars after our handful of encounters.

    Unfortunately my cat needs to come and go. Sometimes he's just out there and jumps in (like no hesitation or warning, it's a jump scare every time)

    Sometimes he sits out there screaming to be let in though. And my washing machine is in a shed outside.

    As an aside, this was a very creepy notification on my door as my doorbell also creates notifications.

    "Your doorbell has been activated"

    "Don't open the door"

    He's orange, that's just where he was standing when he lost the braincell.

    Cats own us, not the other way around. You are chosen.

    Since they're our overlords they wonder why some people wouldn't let them in their own secondary kingdom
