Mobius just turned 14, is still full of attitude. her diabetes is under control and her weight is stable. I've got pics but not on this computer.

Bubba is 11, and still fat.

Diamond may be 10 this year; I'm not sure.

I'm not sure how old Puff is. Her shelter papers say 10, my vet says older, but not sure how much. He says Puff has "some serious life experience."

She's doing alright. She's not exactly healthy, but we can't quite figure out what's wrong with her! She has some bowel issues and doesn't groom herself anymore.

She has an attitude problem too! Can't you feel the love from her?

She's actually only nasty to other cats near her food and dogs. She despises the dogs. She is quite sweet and snuggly with me and fortunately lets me brush her. She lost most of her mane a couple days ago when I cut the mats out.

It is so nice to hear from so many beautiful senior kitties!

Tabitha, you look great, I remember you are just a few days older than Samantha.
Sash, you do look like you lost weight.
Tucker, it is so nice to hear from you and that you are still doing well.

I just love seeing the wonderful Mr Ripley.
Ruffles and Puff, you both look like you have "attitude", Samantha says that is what has been keeping her going for so long.
Hugs to all of the wonderful older kitties of Pet Talk!

She's usually pretty clear about what she's thinking..."Get that **&% dog away from me", "Feed me slave", "Nip NOW", "I hate all of you." Yup, she's a puffy ball of sunshine that one! She gets very mad when I laugh at her when she's trying to act tough!

LOL! I guess she figures she lived long enough and been through enough in her time, that she deserves to have a bit of catitude!!!

I love her ears! WOW!

I figure that if I'd been dumped in my senior years at a scary shelter, then had to adjust to a whole new home full of other critters, I'd be a little cranky too! It was not Puff's owners' fault that she got dumped, but she doesn't know that! She just knows her whole world vanished! Fortunately, I find her attitude kind of amusing! I mean really, she weighs all of 6 pounds! She's not exactly terrifying no matter what she thinks!

The edge of her ear feels a little different than the rest. I suspect she was an outdoor cat at some point and maybe had a bit of frostbite.

Please give her some love from me! I can see beneath that tough exterior and know she is a real pussycat at heart!!!

Here is Leonardo. He just turned 17 on Aug 31st.

And Luke who is 14 now. He insists that he is not a senior kitty though.

Puff is still so beautiful. She looks like my Sebastian (he's 5)

I've attached a photo of him.
