1. Sniff....

[Lithos]

2. I have a 21 year old cat

She entered our lives when she was about 2. I am so grateful this couple took a cat who is in their twilight years. I am so blessed to have my baby - she gives 100% love each and every day.

3. I want more people like THAT in my life...

[calimary]

19. Isn't that just the best? We all need more people like that in our lives.

Our whole country needs more people like that.

What a pleasant break from all the trump-related shit we're slogging through these days! MOST welcome!

Thanks for posting this, catbyte! I needed something like this.

4. If i could afford it and had the room, i'd take in senior cats.

5. It could be very expensive.

This particular cat has a kidney condition for which he needs medication, and a tumor.

[applegrove]

7. Yes. Not in my future likely.

15. Many shelters will pay for all vet expenses if you take in these kinds of pets. There is also

hospice care for cats/dogs and the shelter will pay for everything, you just make the vet visits.

16. I don't have a car and can't afford it right now. But i will keep it in mind.

I am not the hospice type. Just the shared cost type. I am too soft to deal with death every few months.

20. I never heard of a shelter offering to pay expenses of an owner

after the owner takes the pet on. With the high cost of vet care, shelters would go broke if they did that.

6. My Mallie is 19, and *beautifl*...she still plays games and everything. nt

8. Every cat and dog deserve someone to love them,

And they can love back.

9. Wow. 21.

I lost my kitty, Louis, to renal failure a week ago. He was 16. It was a hard couple of months for him at the end. This beautiful boy is very fortunate to have landed safely with these kind folks.

11. Sending you and Louis love 💕 ✨💫💞💕💕

12. Thank you.

17. My deepest sympathies, MontanaMama.

Goldie's been gone two weeks and three days. I'm still having trouble dealing with that. Still getting choked up every time I think of her. We think she was about 17.



Here's a hug:

18. Hugs back to you, calimary.

I, too am very sorry for the loss of Goldie. Isn't it a wonder that a creature so small in stature can take up so much room in our hearts? These are tough days, I know.

10. They say the first two years in cat life is equal to 25 in human. That's an old cat!

Would someone please adopt me to give me the life I deserve?

13. Thank you for posting.

A neighborhood semi-stray has been showing up at my house quite regularly for the past few weeks. I've been feeding him and letting him stay as long as he wants. Sometimes he spends the night. Other times, not so long.

I am not in a position to take in a full time cat, and after a lot of thought, I've decided I'll keep on feeding this cat but not assume full responsibility. He is sweet, and loves to sit on my lap.

Some day, when I can be a responsible cat owner, I will take in the oldest cat available.

14. Looks like one I had until about 19.
