An update on Samantha (with photos)

Samantha just turned 19 1/2 years old the day after Christmas.
I'm so thrilled that she has made it through another year.
I'm really behind in posting photos of her because I've been really busy so I will post a few photos of her from October(that is how far behind I am in picture posting!)
I hope everyone likes the photos. :)

Here's beautiful Samantha!

That's all the photos for now.

Hello Beautiful! :D Don't worry sweetie, I'm not happy when I get woken up either, and if someone did it with a camera!!! - well - I could not be held responsible for my actions.

I hope you have a happy and healthy New Year sweet Samantha.

Samantha, it's nice to see you again! You are a beautiful cat and I love your collar too.

Happy Birthday, Precious Samantha!

Samantha is a beautiful girl. It is always nice to see her pictures.:)

Oh Samantha, it's so good to see you again - grumpy or not, you look like the sweetest girl! :) I'm very impressed with your perfect tortelinni. ;)

Wishing you a healthy and Happy new Year!

Lots of kisses and scritchies.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMANTHA!

Hi Samanatha! The pink collar looks los lovely on your coat. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Now Mom was late telling of us, so you get to celebrate twice! The party is now, so you get extras treats, pets and scritchies today.

SAMATHA THE BEWICHING IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MATURE CAT AND CLEARLY HAS ENJOYED HER NEARLY TWO DECADES OF LOVE AND TENDER LOVING CARE.
WE CAN HARDLY WAIT UNTIL HER 20TH PURRTHDAY , WE WILL SEND A SPECIAL GIFT TO ONE OF OUR FAVORITE KITTYZENS , AND A SWEET PRECIOUS LADY CAT!!!
:) :cool: :rolleyes: :p ;) :D :cool:

She sure is a beauty and I'd never be able to guess that she's almost 20 years old.:) Storm will only be 12 years old on Jan.11th. I guess he's still a spring chicken compared to Samantha.;)

In her old age, Samantha gets back a kind of girlish beauty. I have seen that in elegant old women (it will never happen to me :() and I think it's great :)

awwwwwwwwwwww! i love her! she has this regalness about her!

you're lucky to have had her so long, cherish it. i'm jealous. ;)

Samantha, you're still as beautiful as ever and I'd never guess your age if your Meowmie didn't tell us. Have a healthy, happy year and be prepared for a PT blow-out when you reach 20!

Hi Samantha, beauty! I am very happy to see you, as usual :)

Really beautiful Samantha and photos! You are so lucky she's lived to be this long, may she have many more happy years to come!

Oh sweetheart, Samantha.

As beautiful as ever. Enjoy your New Year.

Thank you all for the nice replies. :)
I did post a thread for Samantha's 19th Birthday last June but at her age I thought it would be nice to count her half Birthday now too.
My daughter picked out her pink collar for her, it has some sparkly stars on it.
Samantha has been slowing down in the past couple of years, she has totally lost her hearing and she is half blind now too but she still keeps going.
She still has a healthy appetite as you can see. :)

She also got stressed when we had workmen here in the house for the past 3 months.
When she gets stressed she pulls out the fur from her tummy and makes a pink belly spot.

Her fur on her belly has grown back in now.
She has gotten a bit quirky in her old age and has a definite routine but she's still my sweet baby girl. :)

Samantha you are gorgeous, I just love your markings. Your mom must take great care of you, you look like the picture of health.

I love your gorgeous markings, Samantha!!

Oh my sweet, sweet, Samantha!!! It is so wonderful to see you looking lovely as always! I'm glad those noisy workers are finally gone now so you can settle down and keep the fur on your belly! I'm sure your bare pink belly is very irresistable, but I don't want you to be stressed in order for us to take a peek at it! ;)

Love and Purrs,
Auntie Kim

Happy belated birthday Samantha! You don't look a day over 2. :D

Kisses to your beautiful black nosie. :)

SO glad to hear Samantha continues to do so well. She certainly hasn't lost any of her good looks as she gets older. :)
