"I am doing fine, thanks for asking. I am just over a cold, but my purrents took very good care of me. They let me sleep in between their 2 pillows ALL night, just so I could feel better."




"I have, thankfully, had no nealth issues except a mild dental. Lost a tooth or two, but other than that, I am good to go."

I love to read about everyone's senior kitties! Everyone looks great! My Sash turns 15 this month. Here's a recent picture of him, I think he looks a little thinner around his neck. Does anyone notice this or have any of you seen this happen in your older kitties? His body frame seems the same to me though. He's my sweet lover boy as always.

Yes I think he looks a bit thinner and it's also normal for older cats. He looks great!

Thank you! He's the same old Sash, always asking for food.

I guess I qualify - I turn 12 on December 12! I think I should get a dozen dozen dozen sardines to celebrate, don't you?

I'm as cute and goofy as ever, but as you can see, I'm feeling really allergic and itchy these days. My human keeps insisting that if I eat my canned food, the itching will stop (she puts a bunch of protection spells in it, and the one with the longest name - claw-fur-n-ear-amine? - is an itch stopper) so I finally relented and licked up half a bowlful this afternoon. I really wanted the stuff she was giving me when she ran out of the stuff she buys from the Pokey Needle Lady, but I guess this stuff is pretty tasty too!

Here's a meow out to my Experienced Cat Homies!

Love, Smudge

My Scooter Bug is getting close... he will be 12 on the 21st of this month.

He's my heart kitty, but Shhh, don't let Charlie hear that!

Hmm, here is one he looks less grouchy in:


Yum, meowmie gave me some gooood food. She's not sure what it was though. I like to surprise her and come out of rooms that have no food bowls, acting like I've been eating stuff.

Gosh, I feel silly putting Grace on here now! She's like a baby now compared to all of these kitties! It's hard to imagine that she is less than half as old as Samantha! All of your kitties look magnificent and what a blessing that they have had such long and healthy lives! Must be the love of PT parents!!!

This is a great thread and it's great to see everyone's Senior Cats doing so well. I now have 2 seniors in my household. Storm is 11 and will soon be 12 in Jan. and Sunny just turned 7 in August so he's new to the senior world.


Storm is my oldest and he's doing well. He's now on a grain free diet and is on some herbal supplement pills to help keep him calm. The last time he was at the my regular vet in June he weighed 14.5lbs but he may have gained a little weight since then. I hope to have him around for many more years to come.



Sunny is a very young senior and he still acts like a big kitten. He's doing very well but will sometimes break out with feline acne.The last time he was weighed at the vet he was between 12-13lbs. He's my goofy baby and I'm sure he'll live a long happy and healthy life.
