I thought I have to show off my two handsome boys who do their best to hide their diseases and to just look cute.
Here is Filou- 13 years old and surviving CRF for 4,5 years now. He still looks like a kitten - but if he climbs the balcony roof as he did today you can see it needs more of his strength.

And here is Tigris- even with lots of fluid in his tummy (which you can hardly see here) he sleeps twisted and relaxed at the same time:

I hope if I ever get sick I can learn a little bit from them.

When it rains, it pours! It's so hard to see them getting old and sick. :(
Both Tigris and Filou are so handsome, and I hope they'll be with you for a long time yet, although in a slower mode.
Thanks for sharing the pictures. Filou looks really sweet, and so does Tigris - seems he found a nice spot to take a nap. Don't you just want to give him a kiss on his nose! :love: I know I do!

Filou and Tigtis are so very Handsome Cats:love:
Its so sad to see such Magnifi Ctas slowly become older, and to have to see such enegetic lively Companions slwoly become slower and older.
:(
My Michael the Dream Cat , Juke Joint Joseph and Princess the Purrfect are all Old Cats now and I dread finding them the way I did Handsome John Hancock, and Bodacious Bo Bo.
:(
We are praying that you will have as much time with Filou and Tigris as possible, and that will be for a few years yet,:love::love:

Well, of course they are happy boys!!! They have one of the most special Meowmies to look after them. :love: It's so hard to see them getting older.
By the way, your pictures are just as fabulous as Kirsten's. You all take such clear pictures and know just how to capture the light in the right way. Amazing!!

I do think our older cats teach us some valuable lessons. Filou and Tigris are brave and handsome boys, and I hope they'll be with you for a good long time yet.

I can definitely relate to what you're experiencing. My oldies but goodies, Boo Bear and Pidge, are nearly 19 and 21 respectively. It's tough when you see them both age and get sick, especially simultaneously. Prayers are continuing for them and you. Keep the faythe. :love:

They look wonderful! Filou & Tigris; Pinot sends gentle headbumpies and crosses her paws for you both to feel well :love:
What wonderful pictures of your boys. I hope that they will both recover and you will have them with you for a long time to come.

What a pair of handsome boys! I didn't realize that Filou was 13 years old. Even Mango at eight and a half, is slowing down a bit. He used to jump from the floor to the top of a door in a single bound. Now he needs to kick off of the door knob for that extra boost.
Years back (maybe 2005?) a couple of Filou pictures captured that relationship we share with our kitties - how much they are part of our lives and how much they fill our days with their affection and companionship. Abys, of course, need to inspect all foods that are prepared or brought into the household. I have several friends whose Abys have a reserved spot on the kitchen counter where they sit and observe, inspect and sample the foods being prepared.
