Cats who hide

Late last September, my sweet Tabitha, who was 14 years old, began to hide in the closet or under my bed or behind the stove, and refused to come out. She cried piteously when I lifted her away from her hiding places. Her appetite had decreased as well. Even when I helped her in the carrier for an emergency visit to the vet, she positioned herself to sit facing the closed end of the carrier!
To make a long story short, she died that night on the way to the vet's office. Tragically, no vets were available after 6 pm.
Anyway, know that a cat who insists on hiding may have a serious health problem and should be taken to a COMPETENT vet before it's too late.
