Unfortunally cats can get dementia just like humans. Maybe good to know what the signs can be.
Signs of dementia with cats - awerness post
• Lack of interest in playing
• Spatial disorientation
• Wandering away from home
• Disorientation or confusion
• Loss of interest in food and water, or change in appetite
• Changes in sleep patterns or sleeping too much
• Going to the bathroom outside of the litter box
• Long periods of meowing or vocalizing for seemingly no reason, especially at night
• Staring into space or at the walls for long stretches of time
Memory loss may become apparent in different ways. You may notice that your cat stops responding to commands that they’ve already learned. Memory loss may also cause them to get lost in familiar places or forget simple things, like where their litter box is. Your cat may stop caring about food or might overeat since they’ve forgotten that they have already eaten.
