    Filou and Tigris- can't believe they are both sick

    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! I know I do!

    Filou and Tigtis are so very Handsome Cats
    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,

    Sorry to hear both are not doing so well. It sure seems to come in spurts doesn't it? I wish you the best on a speedy recovery for both.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    What beautiful, beautiful boys! They are so content and well-loved.

    What a fabulous treat on a Sunday morning to see my two favourite boys Tons of hugs, kisses and healing thoughts for Filou and Tigris

    So much love goes a long way and these two gorgeous kitties are lucky to have such devoted purrents and doting friends.

    Well, of course they are happy boys!!! They have one of the most special Meowmies to look after them. 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!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    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.
