His fur is getting thin and he's not so steady on his legs as he was a few months ago but his eyes are as bright and commanding as ever.
Dear Fluff and I find ourselves sitting, watching the world go by, more than we used to.
When we took Milu to the vet for her check up last week, she only weighed 2.2 kilos. The vet increased her thyroid meds again. As it is we manage her day by day and at the moment she is happy and engaging with us: she even came out into the garden today (ok there was food involved as we were having lunch - lol). She did go off her food a little last week but this week she has been tucking in to tuna and fresh chicken and I actually think she may have put on a little weight. The photo is a little fuzzy as she kept moving, but I love seeing her pretty little face
This is becoming more of an occurrence lately, finding Ray and Kaiser 'touching'. Perhaps because they are old men now. Ray, we think, is probably around 15/16 years old and Kaiser is 15 years old this August.
She's lost quite a lot of weight. The vet is testing her thyroid.
I just realized the juxtaposition of the cup and the cat. Not intentional.
At 17 years, Ray spends most of his days 'resting'. He used to be such a big boy but age has diminished him. He lives his best life
The lovely Zaza, a Cat I am currently looking after in Ghent, Belgium. Taken in their garden with a Canon 50mm 1.4 at f/2.8.
The heat has arrived
He doesn't care
As he watches the world go by!
Lizards quick to gobble
Ants marching 'round a world of green.
Cat has other thoughts in mind
A long nap
In the lazy, hazy shade.
Resting up for the big event
He's 19 in 3 days!

Old, mighty, beautiful Sugar on my garden decking. Zoom the photo and look at her face - she is stunning :)

This week's Happy Caturday challenge is to post two pictures from our archives. I've chosen Peanut (the aged) and Zelda (the beauty).
Peanut is the oldest cat in our practice. He is 23 and bless his heart - looks every day of it. I spent a fair amount of time helping him look good for this photo - brushing his fur, cleaning his chin and ears, and finding a perspective that didn't show his boney body. Amazingly enough he pretty much acts like a normal cat - he sleeps a lot, eats, likes sitting on laps, is fairly spry and doesn't even need any medications. I am very fond of Peanut. Most people like kittens. It turns out I like geriatric cats.
Zelda, the beauty, is shown in the comments.
Happy Caturday: 2 photos from the archives
This is my cat Patches. I can't get many pictures of him anymore due to his hiding. He was a stray cat that wandered onto my property in 1994. He was emaciated, had frostbite on his paws and nose, he had his front claws removed and he was already fixed. You could feel every bone on his rib cage. I think I lost my mind then. I gave him a bowl of Cheerios and milk and he was MINE! Now he is near the end and I feel like I am too. They thought he would die from his congenial heart disease but what is getting to him is his arthritis. I give him injections now every two weeks. Which are not helping very much. He refuses his heart medication now. I believe in the New Year I will be making the Decision (with the Vet's help), Family is no help at all. I can't stand to see him suffer like he is.
"I am going to ignore you now. You may photograph the back of my head and that is all. I am an old cat and I do not give a shit. Go ahead, play your little human games. Do I care? I do not care. I am a cat. I am superior. I have no time for you and you do not interest me in any way. And don't think you can sneak up on me. I may be deaf but I can track your vibrations. Go away."
This is - or was - my friend Roxanne's cat in August, about a month before she (the cat) died of old age. You take what they will give you. Fortunately she eventually did turn around and pose for a close up portrait. But I know what she was thinking.

King for just a little while.Good thing I think this flower crown would look much better on Mags. Oh and the flowers are not clipped to my head, they are clipped to a pipe cleaner circle.

Cinta is doing so much better she is still sick but has improved. Vet confirmed that she does have gut cancer so she is on some cortisone tablets to make her feel better.
Her coat is shinier, she no longer smells of death, her eyes have life back in them and I have even seen her run.

Here are pictures of Cosmo the cat taken during the month of March 2023 at home in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He is approaching his 17th birthday in early May, but last year, the vet noticed all sorts of old cat problems. He has cataracts, is on thyroid medicine and eating wet food - and that makes him very happy. Recently, he had a sore over his right eye. We are watching it and hoping it goes away.

This is Molly, my parents' 500 year old cat. She has the appearance of an animal just emerging from the pet cemetery, and she's constantly trying to murder us by wrapping herself around our ankles while we try to fry eggs or carry boiling water to the sink. She's also nearly blind, so she has no concept of space, which means she always ends up wandering right on top of the other animals. As a result, they occasionally try to eat her. Molly is very lucky to be in the care of my parents, the most tolerant and nurturing people on the planet.
🇫🇷 Chaque ride, chaque trace raconte une bataille. Ce vieux chat n’a peut-être plus l’agilité d’antan, mais il a le regard de ceux qui ont tout vu. Un roi fatigué, mais digne.
Photographié avec l’excellent Nikon 85mm f/1.2 S, pour capter chaque détail de son regard.
🇬🇧 Every wrinkle, every scar tells a story. This old cat may have lost some agility, but his gaze holds the weight of all he’s seen. A tired king, still proud.
Captured with the outstanding Nikon 85mm f/1.2 S, to reveal every detail in his eyes.
Here are pictures of Cosmo the cat taken during the months of August through November 2022 at home in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He is a good looking 16 year old cat, but this year, the vet found all sorts of old cat problems. He has cataracts, is on thyroid medicine and eating wet food - and that makes him very happy. Also some pictures here of his brother Runyon.
My family's cat, Gracie, is showing her age. She hasn't been doing too well, but she is still out and about. She prefers to be outdoors recently and creates a cacophony of wails and loud meows whenever she wants to go inside. She is quite the handful and camera shy, but I still lover her all the same.
