Can cats get Alzheimer's?

Question

My female cat, which is about 10 years old has been blind for about a year now, but lately she has been just going in a clockwise circle everywhere she goes. It seems like she can't turn left, we're considering putting her down soon (we don't want to but it seems like the only option) she also gets bullied by one of my two male cats. Can cat's Alzheimer's? it seems like that what she has, she doesn't remember where the litter box is.

Answer 1

I know cats get feeble and "forgetful" in their old age, but I kon't know if its alzheimers. Try to protect her from your other cats.  I have a young cat who had a stroke, and he walks in circles all the time.  His eyes were affected too and he is somewhat slow-witted now.  But we hung on and didnt give up on him.  He eventually learned coping skills for his disabilities.  Good Luck with your kittie!
