An update on Samantha (with photos)

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

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!

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.

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
