There are two different personality types at 7 in the morning
torties
Having senior pets in my life means lots of nap time
Before I got a cat, everyone told me I shouldn’t expect that she be as attached to me as my dog is. After I got this cat, I realized they meant I should expect that she’s literally attached to me all the time
One paw on me, one paw on the table (that has food that she wants). Mila is a super food-motivated cat (and probably begs more than Cookie, which is an accomplishment)
When I first got Mila I was like ‘wut? She doesn’t like fish?’ (She refused to eat fish kibble)
(But it turns out she only likes *good* fish, like the salmon and white flesh fish that the hoomans eat)
Mila is 17.. 18? No idea, we got her as a senior.
She is the most food motivated cat in my life.
She found the right family for her obsession
Mila is 17 this year. She hasn’t slowed down on cuteness or food obsession.
On weekends I pull out a mattress and sleep in the living room with Mila, my 17yo cat who loves cuddling but can’t come upstairs anymore (arthritis).
Her face goes from 0 (cuddling) to 100 (you better wake up now I’m hungry) real quick.
(She’s on Solensia, it helps; we can’t use ramps because of the way our apartment is designed)
17yo cat and 15yo dog. I love posting my pet photos because I think it’s important that people see how you can have a great time with super senior pets!
Mila is turning 18 and has severe arthritis. She can’t sleep on our heads upstairs in the bed anymore (ramps don’t help, due to the layout of our apartment). A few nights a week I pull out a mattress and sleep with her downstairs. And when I don’t.. she starts screaming at 6am until I come down and get sat on. I love her so much
My tortie loves to tell me what she feels. Other people owned by torties know what’s up
My cat likes to go into the bathroom. Simply because she’s not allowed there. When she makes it there, she just stands and stares, like ‘there’s nothing here’. Yep, I toldchu!
She will do it every time anyway.
Wife: I didn’t think you would become a cat lady
Me: have you seen my 50th picture of Mila today
I told my cat I was going camping and she flopped over. ‘You go right ahead. I’ll be cozy on the couch.’
Mila, after being literally stuck to me the whole night as I slept, is now coming to sit on me after breakfast.
I am a human couch for her. Doing it right
I left her for 6 whole days!! My welcome home committee (kidding, she wants my food)
Mila’s adoption pic (11yo) vs Mila’s feed me now pic (17yo)
Adopting a super senior cat was one of the best things we did!
