Is a cat slowing down normal?

[Little Hammy Moon]

My cat, Milk, seems to be getting less active and she’s sleeping more. She’s the first cat I’ve ever owned so I don’t know if that’s normal. She was estimated to be 2 years old back when I got her. That would mean that she should be 10. She was a feral cat so I can’t know for sure.

Well, my cat did that at least. He's now 15, but sleeps nearly all the time and can't jump that high and well anymore. So I think it's very normal 10 years is pretty old for a cat, even though they often live longer!

A 10-year-old cat is considered a mature to senior adult, so it's not unusual for her to slow down and spend more time sleeping than she did when she was younger. That said, a noticeable change in activity can also be a sign that something else is going on, especially if she's eating less, losing weight, drinking more water, or acting differently. Since she's a former feral, it's harder to know her exact age, so a checkup with your vet would be a good idea if the change seems significant or sudden.
