Sheâs obviously been well taken care of then, because she sure doesnât look 11 lol Wonder why cats usually live longer than dogs? Maybe theyâre more carefree? lol Or⌠maybe they just donât care as much! More âlaid backâ lol
Both our previous cats lived to 20âŚone almost didnât⌠FIV positive, and at18, her body started acting like her teeth were foreign objects (according to the vet) and they started popping out one by oneâŚand she stopped eating. So, I ran chicken, canned cat food, liquid vitamins and kitten formula through the blender every dayâŚshe fattened up and was healthy and happy for 2 more years! Indoor kitties tend to be more âpamperedâ and are subjected to fewer hazards, diseases or parasites- so usually live longer than outdoor kittiesâŚbut our neighbor has a 22 year old indoor/outdoor PersianâŚso I think it depends on a lot of factorsâŚjust like people!
lol That was more rhetorical than anything dear lady, but also I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head!
Thatâs awesome @Lady.Zandra63 ! Good for Goober! Good for you too! I know how hard it is. Leo would come to me and wanted nothing but my lap. Ditched the damn bum leg and heâs the worldâs happiest cat. Bet Goober goes happy mode too. I love it!
Thatâs so great that she can start getting up to her old tricks! Lucky kitty!
I notice that about âTuxedoâ cats-- they always seem to hang with the dogs, and take on their attitude⌠our Ozzy is like that too!
Itâs been relatively cold these past few days and nights here in the SF Bay Area. Genki sat down on my lap and said hey, dude, Iâm cold. Cover me up with that tiny blanket thatâs on your lap. No matter that you wonât be fully covered any more. Then he got too hot. Iâm like, yes boss, yes sir, right away!
Couldnât quite get a proper up-nose shot here. 
Then he got too hot.
Then he spilled a glass of water because he was upset about something. He and I had a little âdiscussion,â again, about not tipping over glasses full of water. Heâs currently hiding under the bed.
Leo and Maui enjoying a dry day and some sun. Me too. No rain for a few, just wind blowing down trees with waterlogged roots.
