Possible form of feline dementia or similar. Could be a sensory issue like sight or hearing....gets upset if radar is jamming. He may be able to see & hear just sufficiently, but not as before. Such is the delicacy of feline sensory attributes we cannot shake a stick at. Could even be an infection or summat.Any idea WTF is going on with Jesus (the cat) ? He's never been the brightest or most agile of beasties.
Recently he's started shouting, like loud distressed cat yowl and seems to be lost right in the middle of a room sometimes. Hearing him, you'd think someone had shut his tail in a door or something, but no injuries or anything. Once he 'finds' one of us, he's fine. Never walks into anything, so he can see, reacts to clicked finger, so he can hear, no sore areas, so not injured, eating and dumping as normal. Been going on for a couple of months now.

I put down our litter mates 4 years back for similar after trying everything. Vet reckoned it was a DNA fault in the genes.
