And there are so many rewards that come with living with an older cat. I'm so sorry about your loss, Vivien. I hope Mischa will be with you for a good long time yet! Marian, how wonderful that your Allie lived to be 22 - that's amazing! Leslie, I think the nice thing about adopting an older cat is that you generally know exactly what type of personality you get.

I fed her Friskies 9 lives or Fancy Feast, rarely took her to the Vet, was usually gone on the weekends (we did have a cat sitter who came in once a day) fed her Chinese food, she loved the noodles and massaged her body at least 3 times a day and loved her up. We were grateful for all of the years she lived and the joy she gave us. My cat, Allie, lived to 22.

Beautiful post, Ingrid. I have adopted senior cats quite often, and I just adore them. And you know that generally speaking, when people look to adopt, they are attracted to the younger ones. Let's give the seniors a chance to live out their lives with love and much needed care and spoiling! Happy Birthday, Peaches! Beautiful post, Ingrid.

Peaches! Thanks for stopping in, birthday girl! Mason, I'm glad you found the information helpful for Little One and Gum Drop (I just love that name!) Layla, Coco sounds like Amber - she only reluctantly gives up any bodily fluids. I hope the vet was able to get a sample this afternoon, and that it all comes back normal!

It's good to know cats are living longer. Ingrid, lovely and pertinent post today. As the mom of two geriatric kitties, everything can change so suddenly. The vet came today to get a urine sample from Coco but she didn't have enough, so she's sequestered away from the kitty litter and I'm keeping my fingers crossed until the vet returns later this afternoon. Kidney issues are one of the biggest concerns for the older cats. Happy birthday Peaches! It’s good to know cats are living longer.
