I'm adopting a 12 year old kitty. Can't wait to make his senior years as lovely as possible :)

[mellow]

My 17 yr old still plays like a maniac with the laser or string. It doesn't' last long, but she's still a kitten at heart.

My cat died one week before turning 21. He remained active and playful till 20. Only the very last year of his life he seemed really old. I still cry when I think of him, even 10 years later.

My cat Gingerbread lived to 21yo and she was FIV positive. She loved windows but if I sat down she was on my lap.

My friend's cat lived to 25. He just straight up refused to die for the longest time. He was a stubborn grandpa .... quite cranky like one, too. Loved to sit on a windowsill and watch birds and ... do nothing much else.

I had a beautiful cat that lived for 22.5 yrs. My neighbor at the time found him in our dumpster as a young kitten all those many years ago. I decided to keep him as he was so precious. He passed away almost 5 yrs ago. I waited a good year after Milo’s passing before adopting a cat at my local animal shelter.

I rescued my Jaffa age 22 and had him until he was 26, sadly passed away last year. Only suffered from arthritis but he still got around with the help of a few homemade steps to get on the bed and sofa

1. Increase water intake (wet food)
2. Psychically & mentally active
3. Frequent vet visit
Thankssss 💙💙💙

My 16 year old girl all of a sudden went blind. I mean, totally blind. The vet told me it was old age and there was nothing she could do. I pushed for a blood pressure reading and sure enough, her bp was very high. We put her on medication and within a couple of days she could SEE AGAIN!! 😺👀🙀👀😻 If you have a gut feeling about your cat, push until you have covered all avenues. It worked for me! 😺

The thumbnail “Age is just a number”, it’s true. It’s sad to see that some senior cats don’t get adopted or they don’t want them anymore. Cats should always be loved no matter the age nor condition they have. 😊🙂

I had a beautiful girl that almost lived to be 17. Her senior years were some of the most cherished times I spent with her.
She is my profile picture <3

[IstanbulCats]

You are right, age is not a disease! I love the experience of old cats,
I love all cats 😻😻😻😻

I just adopted a 15 year old cat so here I am

[kmissoni]

I absolutely agree with this statement. Unfortunately I had to put down my 16 year old cat because a previous kidney disease finally got the best of her. She was a real trooper for many years. It has been about two weeks and I still miss her dearly but I am strongly considering adopting an elderly cat from our local shelter after I've given myself some time to mourn her. They often still have loads of love to give.

[floxy]

when my cat was very old the vets kept telling me that his illnessess are due to his age like "well... thats just bc he s old *shrug* we cant really help here", which is maddening

[Zencast]

" it's not about how old you are, it's how you are being old"

So important to check your senior cat's litterbox every day. Two years ago, noticed that our 16 year old cat's urine clumps had grown to be 2X larger than normal. This continued for a few days, so we brought her to the vet. Her kidney function was slightly decreased - the very beginning of feline kidney disease. The vet told us because we caught it so early, there was no kidney damage, and that we had a very good chance of halting the disease progression with a prescription reduced protein diet and fish oil supplements. Every urinalysis and kidney function blood test since then has been in the normal range and she's soon to be 18 years old.

She also suffers from arthritis and is taking meds for that as well. I built carpeted ramps for her to climb onto our bed and onto the favorite perch. We also have a large dense cushion for her to jump down onto. We do daily physical therapy by getting her to walk after and reach up for treats. We're still teaching her tricks to keep her mind engaged. Last month, we trained her to give us her paw in return for a treat! (Or, she trained us to give her a treat every time she gives us a paw. Depends on how you look at it! LOL)

I love senior cats. The first I started taking care of was Miss Molly at 17 years and she lived to be 21. And my last cat, Miss Primrose, was also adopted when she was 17 and lived to be 19. I had to put her down at the beginning of this year and I'm still a wreck over it. WhenI'm ready, I'm going to adopt another senior cat and do it all over again. Even with all of the pain I feel, it's still worth it 🐾💝

We had a cat that lived til 24. She was abandoned by her owners and came back to our house and lived a very happy retirement

My sweet burmese cats just turned 11, and one has started limping with arthritis. I'd love to see a video just on that: how to play (or keep engaged), thoughts on pain management and/or medications (and how to administer!), general quality of life ideas. It breaks my heart to see him hurting!
