I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your calico Angel. Your story, as sad as it is, unfortunately is not unique. Many cats do not show signs of illness until they are very ill. Weight loss is one sign that can be very significant and should not be taken lightly. There are no particular questions to ask your veterinarian unless you have noticed any changes in Turtle. In older cats, changes in weight, mobility, attitude, appetite and water drinking can be particular important. I would be sure your veterinarian does a full physical exam from nose to tail to check for any signs of disease. Lab work can also be helpful to screen your cat for any early disease as well. Hopefully, Turtle will check out well and you’ll have many more good years with her.
