#older cats

[futurebird]

Pica is elderly. She is a very little very old lady. She enjoys parquor, screaming, meat piles the size of her head, climbing walls (and people), being squeezed, *not* understanding the concept of personal space, squirming under the covers with anyone foolish enough to let her get under there and eating spiders.


She has been alone (except for meal delivery from a friend) for three days and is composing a short opera in the traditional musical style of her people to perform for us when we get back.

visiting a friend's cat, when the cat is a friend of yours, too - happy to see you, saluting you with a wave of a tail and a headbonk. when you've known the cat for ten, fifteen years. when the cat is now a creaky shadow of its younger days, an armful of dry feathers when you hold them, bones and lumps along the spine when you pat. when you catch your friend's eye, and then you both look at the cat, in silent agreement that you'll spoil this feline goblin as long as you can.

my cat is 21ish years old and hes getting really quite ill at the minute and cant walk very well, has any one got any advice for cat toys for him? catnip doesnt work on him and according to my parents hes never enjoyed toys but i think he might be bored, he doesnt particullarly like humans either which might complicate it further?

The difference in the ways my cats show they're happy to see me when I wake up in the morning is so cute, my heart is exploding.

Obviously, Eury is a kitten, so she's excitable: jumping around, immediately ready to play, which I'm never quite ready for. But Orph, who is about 8-9, is so gentle with me when I first wake up: he affectionately headbumps me, rubs against my legs with deliberate care, walks along side me to the kitchen, and sits patiently while I get his food ready—all while Eury is tearing excitedly from room to room. I love both of them so much, but I didn't really appreciate the little things about Orph as an older cat and how well he knows me until we got Eury 😂❤️❤️❤️

big elderly cats that just want to spend their wise years with comfort and cuddles have my whole entire heart

When you see your cat struggling to jump somewhere, do you ever just pick him up and put him where he wants to be?

Aisha thinks it's not fair if mama eats a sandwich in front of her and she doesn't get offered any.

Leaving my room messy and my bed unmade has some benefits! My older cats seem to really appreciate it :)
