My girl is ~20. Or at the very least, 20. She’s been doing well on her thyroid meds and solensia shot. So well in fact, she caught this toy mouse the other day and was screaming bloody murder to everyone. She wanted every one to know she’s still got it.
Then she promptly went to the very top of the cat tree where she mocked the 18 year old cat for not being able to get up there. (He’s next to get solensia shots). My little babies are getting old 😭😭 but they’re still so sweet.
Edit to add, it’s 6am. Just after I posted this she has found her mouse again and is carrying it around and screaming about it. 😂
Well please tell Tigger that this was noted, and two of my newest kittens (just 7 months and just back from the vet) took good notice of them and their mouse!
Well holy crap that is one adorable kitty! And another one too!
Here are my two recently gone brother and sister pair:
I’ve only had old lady cats do this but all of mine have. Once they get to a certain age, they hunt a toy and crow about it at 100dB.
Hooray for Tigger! Y’know even when Everything Is Awful™ , it’s good to think they’ve developed a drug that lets older cats enjoy things. I like that about us. Yes, all that other stuff BUT ALSO we made older cats feel pain-free and happy to play again.
Mine sings opera to her mousies at 2am.I love this take and it genuinely made me smile. Thank you.
Tell Tigger I love her and I’m proud she’s such a fierce hunter!
I will do that and I will pet her cute little head too ❤️
20 years. What a glorious grand duchess she’s become.
She’s the best. All the vet techs are in love with her.
Aww. Give them both scritches. They deserve them :)
Always!
heyo, tell Tigger I said, “Pspspsps”
Will do.
You go, Tigger!
She’s making sure you’re up early to watch the Valkyries/Dream game this morning
She just wants all the love all the time. She’s a good girl so she deserves it.
It reminds me of my cat who used to go crazy after his toy mouse. It was like a mix of LSD and cocaine to him, even if he knew it was a toy.
She’s just very proud. Walks around the house like, LOOK WHAT I DID! It’s adorable but, kinda loud at 2am lol
I love my own geriatric 20-something kitty He also has the fluffiest fur
Aww
I should have already included a picture for the cat tax!
Our old lady just turned 20 as well. Hope your kitties have many more healthy years ahead of them.
Same to you! Give them some pets from this internet stranger.
SO FREAKING CUTE!!! THE LITTLE MOUSE!!!
Her fur is really beautiful too.
Yes I think her vet will be very happy with her coat. We discovered she was spitting out her thyroid meds when my boyfriend wasn’t looking. We’ve solved that problem now and she’s gained some weight and she’s so freaking soft again.
And incredibly sassy like a typical calico/tortie but she’s also incredibly sweet.
Still a little kitten at heart
Absolutely. She will always be my baby Kitty
