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. 😂

    Daww, she’s so pretty. She looks very well kept for 20 years old, you must put a lot of love into helping her clean.

      Honestly? No. But I can tell you within 24 hours if she spit out her thyroid meds. She will start to mat a bit. If she’s off them multiple days she’s a greasy matted mess.

      If she’s late for her pain shot, I will have to brush her under side and her hips because she struggles to clean them. If she’s fully medded, I do nothing. She’s sitting on her stool cleaning herself now actually lol.

        Well she’s still gorgeous, and a cat doesn’t make it to 20 without someone looking out for them.

        I think the logic behind my assessment is sound, but maybe a little off as far as the details.
