I also always thought that Ollie was my baby. He is now the senior at 14. I took my cat, Clementine in off the streets in 2018. My vet guesstimated her age to be between 4-6 years old, so she’ll hopefully will be around for a while yet. possumladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060146825196164963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-16364759624281712402020-06-17T14:18:00.492-07:002020-06-17T14:18:00.492-07:00I quite enjoy having older cats, as they seem to d...I quite enjoy having older cats, as they seem to do less damage. But of course, the flip side is they can leave as quickly as they came.<br /><br />With Sasha having reached his 20th birthday in May, while Saku was 12 in March, they're definitely in the retirement phase. I think they're enjoying it.<br /><br />In answer to your comment about Sheldon, he has grown into a huge cat. He's not heavy just big! But still a cuddler just the same.<br /><br />Sakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508656442667275102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-27928931315232880722020-06-17T12:40:56.538-07:002020-06-17T12:40:56.538-07:00All of your cats have a very good life, and will c...All of your cats have a very good life, and will continue to do so through their senior years.<br />Purring for no reason other than she wants to shows how content Josie is.Memories of Eric and Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895995542393169845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-42323198317282737272020-06-17T11:51:50.943-07:002020-06-17T11:51:50.943-07:00Time stops for no one, not even our cats.

So often overlooked, as you've written.<br /><br />Derry is my "baby," the only cat companion I've had I consider to be that, of course because of his sweet "baby" face. But Derry will be 13 next week (June 24 is the date the shelter put on his papers, though of course that's not his real birth date) and I struggle to accept that he's a senior and will leave me sooner than later. In my heart and mind he'll forever be my "baby."<br /><br />I certainly do hope that your middle-aged and senior crew are with you, content and as healthy as possible, for at least several years yet.Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-75104545370163439692020-06-17T09:57:52.014-07:002020-06-17T09:57:52.014-07:00A happy retirement with love and food is the best ...A happy retirement with love and food is the best thing!Brian's Home Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809631273441407139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-60458654721663239032020-06-17T09:15:57.448-07:002020-06-17T09:15:57.448-07:00Which is why I chose to bring Sweetie inside.

She is probably about 12 years old, so hopefully, we can make her retirement last long and be as cushy as possible.Eastside Catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707701446222007049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-79893813214398768302020-06-17T08:28:47.804-07:002020-06-17T08:28:47.804-07:00Your thoughts about adopting an older cat are quit...Your thoughts about adopting an older cat are quite correct. Most people would rather adopt a kitten, so an older cat does tend to remain in the shelter longer. But as Lynn said, all cats deserve a wonderful loving home regardless of their age. My own cats range in age from 15 to 4 years old, and I always wonder where the years went. Weren't they all kittens just yesterday??Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993528390901569340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-51831894858316145852020-06-17T07:32:21.144-07:002020-06-17T07:32:21.144-07:00That’s how I feel about Tucker.

Like your Ernie, Tucker is - despite all the health issues he’s grappled with - doing very well, and is a happy fellow.
