    If I was you TAKE YOUR CAT TO THE VETS! it might have an infection, injury, hearing loss etc. If it is old then it is likely to be one of those things.

    Hope my advice has helped

    There are four possible reasons for this and I've had cats with each of them. All require vet treatment.

    1) An inner ear infection

    2) A stroke

    3) Head injury

    4) Tumor

    It is possible - also possible is an ear problem. Take to your vet for a diagnosis. There may be a medication to help with the disorientation and confusion. I hope your kitty gets better

    there could be so much reasons, tumors, injuries, maybe even just a ear infenction, or maybe he is just getting so old, maybe it is just time to move on.
