Oh Debbie!!!! I thread made just for us Feline Fogies!
Max is 11 and maybe it's not that senior but I've noticed in the past year he prefers to sleep than play. He never was a great "player" but always enjoyed the toys that Uncle Gary sent him. Now he sniffs and bats them around a bit and ignores them. He's getting a bit more intolerant to my combing and grooming him and I think he may be getting a touch of arthritis. Other than that, he still sleeps on the pillow beside me everynight and purrs in my ear.

Speckles is 17 and her personality has actually mellowed. I never used to be able to touch her tummy but now, when she's on the couch beside me I can give her all the tummy rubs she can handle. She still doesn't like being picked up or restrained but as she's gotten older she doesn't complain as loudly as before. She can't jump on the bed anymore so I have a big plastic storage bin (containing a Santa suit for the Humane Society) beside my bed as a stepping stool. She sleeps at the foot of the bed on a her special blanket. She sleeps alot now. I had the gas fireplace on last night and there she was sprawled out in front of it warming up her tummy.

My lifestyle does not suit a younger cat. When the time comes to choose another kitty it will be an rescued adult at least 8 years old.
