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. πŸ˜‚

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!

    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 Awfulβ„’ , 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.

    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.

    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.
