This morning when I got up I noticed my lovely dark grey cat, Persia, has a
light grey muzzle! The light never hit her quite right before. Now I see it! She's got light fur on her nose and around her mouth and chin. My little girl is getting old. (Best guess, she's 14 years old.) She's perfectly fine health-wise but it's somewhat disturbing to see the obvious signs of aging. (sigh) Jill |

She is still remarkably agile for her age (will be 17 in June), but she is now thinner than when she is young and does not jump to such high places. Still, she will leap from a chair in the corner of the room to the bed or some other object with incredible grace. It makes me a bit sad just to think of her age because I know I will eventually have to face the inevitable. Even Duffy is now about 13 or 14 years old (estimated), and that's hard to believe. Persia is a beautiful cat!! MaryL |

Both Yoda and Cherokee lived to be 17, and by that time they both really acted old. Sherry |

She has some trouble jumping to a chair -- sometimes tries a couple of times. Her appetite is good and she is "regular". She sleeps a lot and loves to be brushed. Her eyes are not as bright as they used to be. I wish she could chase butterflies but she is inside only and I haven't seen a butterfly around here in years. MLB |

Amber is 17 1/2. Her fur looks about the same but she has lost weight.
She can't jump but step stools allow her to get on the sofa, my bed, and her heated window seat. She eats but not a lot at a time. She does pee and poop as she always has. She loves to be brushed with the "love glove" ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44� 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Persia is a beautiful cat!! Thank you, Mary! I still can't see your posts. I have no idea why. MaryL Boots is 13 and I am starting to see stray white hairs in her black coat which I wonder are gray hairs. Holly *is* remarkable for her age. Both Yoda and Cherokee lived to be 17, and by that time they both really acted old. Sherry Persia doesn't act old. But then, she's always been a rather sedate cat, which is about my speed She uses the kitty steps to get up on the bed. Or to look out the front window. She still gets the zoomies occasionally and tosses around toy mousies. Dashes around hither and yon. Then she finds the closest puddle of sunshine and takes a nap Jill |
