Older Cat Verses New Dog?

I have an older cat. lets be real... she is almost 11 years old. my problem with her is...she has been staying in one of the rooms in my apartment... food water bed and litter pan in there. she is long hair so i constantly have to clean up her hair. I noticed she is losing her teeth... she is missing about 4 now... i have found pee stains on the carpet that were not there before. (and poo piles) So i think she is losing her control in those areas. When i clean the room if i dont lock her in the bathroom (cause it has tile and it is cool and dark) she urinates herself and walks around crying... I dont wanna put her down till she tells me she is ready. she has a hacking problem... she hacks till she throws up sometimes... its not a hair ball... its actually puke. I am feeding her Eukenuba Mature Care. Hair ball meds and she is bathed once a month... combed out once a week. Anyone have an idea i could try to calm this? vet says perfect health for 11.. she also has no meow! IDEAS PLZ!

At 11 yrs old, I don't really consider that ''lose control of the body'' old. Perhaps you should get a 2nd opinion when it comes to the health of your cat. There's no real reason why she cannot make it to the litter box, especially when she's restricted to one room. Perhaps putting more than one litter box in there would help?

As for the dog, don't get one before cat passes.......your Chi should be allowed to adjust to the cat no longer being there, and your cat shouldn't have to stress over a new family member, in her last days.

Um, I really don't think that is perfect health for an 11 year old cat. My old cat is 16 years old and does'nt have any of those symptoms. 11 years is kinda old for a cat, but some cats live until 20 years or more. Please take her to another vet for advice, there is still plenty that can be done for your cat at this age.
