Our old calico, Zoey, died of severe dementia when she was 20. It came on slowly, first she stopped grooming herself, then she got a lot more withdrawn and unresponsive, then lost control of her bowels and stopped eating for the most part. We;d have to take her to her food and show it to her and that worked for awhile, then she stopped eating altogether. She wasn't in any pain and vet said we could let her pass peacefully at home, so that's what we did.
