Oh yes :), he is almost 20 years old and also hears bad so he fits the forum :) at that age he is allowed to be tired. Thats what he is all the time.

Oldboi

Yeah brings a lot of work and trouble :) the age...

I used to have a very old cat. There's nothing quite like a sweet tired old cat.

You are right. Sometimes I dont understand why people like the babies so much. Old cats have much more to give and are more "human like". He talks a lot and is afraid of being alone in a room etc. and sometimes he even wants to play. He knows what he wants and shows that. The hearing is a problem if you call him in the garden he cant say what direction the sound came from.

How old was your cat? Also tiger skin?

Mine was 16. He was always really playful but he liked to lounge all over the place. He was a Persian.

Mine is very easy i just put towels everywhere he can sleep and he never goes to a different place on the couch...just the towels.

16 is a great age. At 16 my cat began to have problems with his kidneys so he is on diet food (which is pretty expensive and he doesnt like it) and every month at the doctor for an injection. lot of work

Mine liked to sleep on my chest, and on my feet. For some reason he liked to hump my leg. He was a weird cat.

haha mine is humping with the towels :) maybe thats also age related? mine wants to be underneath the blanket all the time thats the only thing when he leaves the towel when he sees a blanket.

You think that would be a teenage cat thing, but nope lol

lol I dont know he doesnt like female cats in the garden haha I dont know what he thinks in that moment it just looks weird and funny...but strange when you have visitors in the apartement.

Maybe its because I had only female cats when I was a child. I dont talk often with other male cat owners about that stuff seriously.

Y'all making me want a cat. Never had a pet :/

I am not sure if I would repeat to have a cat. He is so old that we go through a lot of health problems right now and that gives me a lot of fear. I dont want to make the decision to stop or go on with a treatment...right now for me thats a huge problem even to think about - money doesnt matter but I cant ask him you know :/ thats the hardest part I think.

You're not going to put him down soon right? :(

The kidneys make a lot of trouble and he cant gain a lot of weight anymore so he is losing muscles right now. Which is normal for that age but it shocks you how thin he can be. So what we can do is just look that he doesnt get any infection. Narcosis is not possible with that age he wont wake up. He gets of course the best food I can buy but yeah I dont know one day is good the other bad comes in waves.

That's so sad I hope he still has a couple years ahead of him.

Well I think he is a fighter so we hope for another year with the CNI (kidney) diagnosis - there is no cure. 2 years said the doctor is maximum at his age and we have our first year over so we know its a countdown. I just hope the end goes fast while he is sleeping in the sun! But lets see he is strong :) Thanks a lot :)
