The main symptoms of an elderly cat nearing death include:
1. The cat may reduce its food intake or even refuse to eat, resulting in a situation where it neither eats nor drinks.
2: Slow movement, trembling limbs, inability to complete actions such as jumping, or even frequent falls.
3: Breathing becomes slow and heavy, or rapid and short, accompanied by fatigue, coughing and wheezing.

4. They become more clingy and need more companionship and attention from their owners.
5: Kitten behaviors may occur, such as kneading, licking people, or frequent venturing out to find hiding places.
6: Body temperature drops, limbs become stiff, sleep time increases, and the person is in a drowsy state.
The appearance of these symptoms may mean that the cat's life is nearing its end, and the owner should give it more love and companionship.
