More sleep: greater need for rest
A cat nearing the end of its life may sleep much more than usual. It may appear exhausted, lacking energy, and become less and less active. Sleep then becomes a refuge for it, a way to protect itself from pain or weakness. Make sure you provide it with a comfortable, calm, and warm space where it feels safe.
Respiratory changes: an often ignored sign
When a cat’s body weakens, its breathing may change. This can cause shallow, irregular, or even noisy breathing. If you notice your cat breathing more heavily or unusually, it could indicate that its vital organs are failing.
