That's definitely what we're thinking too. We know it's at least gotten water down into it a bit since you can see the paint has little bubbles right under the window, but we can't tell just how bad it's gotten. She just really doesn't have the money to fix it but at this point there's no choice

She said she doesn't think it would be covered, but you know I'm actually going to look into it again myself. She's been paying that for decades now, you'd think basic wear and tear on an old house would be covered

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the recommendation!

Yeah, it's from above the window itself. You can see when it rains that water drips down from the top of the window frame, but there's no clear indication of where it's actually leaking from. It doesn't just leak from one hole or anything though, water drips down across the entire width of the window.

At the very least, the window itself definitely needs replaced, as well as the frame around it. They're old wooden windows so it's obvious that they're too damaged to be fixed at this point. We're not sure about the wall, we're just able to tell that it's gotten wet because the paint has little cracks and tiny bubbles on it so it's more than likely damaged some too. It's a brick house so we can't tell anything from the outside.

Luckily there aren't any outlets on that wall though, it's just our sink sitting under 2 windows with a cabinet on the wall in the corner

We're in Avalon

Just my own experience here, but I had an old dog growing up with a similar problem. She had just the general issues that a really old dog would have, but nothing that impacted her quality of life too much. But then she ended to going blind and deaf around the same time, and she would wander around the house barking like crazy until somebody reached out to her. I think she calmed down because she knew she wasn't alone, I think she was just scared. After a while, one of our other dogs actually started to help her with that. He would walk beside her, with his body touching hers, and she'd calm down. The way your cat calms down when you reach out to her is why I was thinking of it like this.

You mentioned that you lost your cats sister recently. Did her yowling start or get worse after that happened? Because maybe your other cat was what had been keeping her calm, and maybe without that connection she doesn't feel as secure and safe now that she's losing some of her senses. It's just a thought based on my own personal experience
