I have to agree about the baby food. I think Tubby preferred the beef with beef gravy.

Another thing I did for him was set up a little box by the bed to make it easier for him to jump up that high. He also slept with me everynight and I noticed he was having a more and more difficult time getting up in bed so I had my dad make this adorable box/stool. Here's Tubby modeling it on the day it was delivered. Each side has a different cat shape silhouette and the top has some adorable little micies. I asked my dad for a simple stool and this is what I get.


I also took to carrying Tubby places. If I was going upstairs and I knew he would soon follow, I made it easy on him and carried him up - the same if we were going down. Towards the end even using the box to jump on the bed was hard, so I would pick him up and put him in bed - but then I worried that I'd be sleeping when he wanted to get down and he'd jump and hurt himself.

Anyway, as usual, I write a novel, but I guess what I'm trying to say is there are more ways than treats to spoil an elderly kitty. Just trying to make life easier for them in all the little ways will make them happy too.

Now, how about a picture of your sweet oldie?
