We currently have 4 cats - all rescues with ages ranging from 1 to 5. We've agreed that there is a space in the house for one more cat and are considering adpoting an elderly cat. All of our cats had ishoos, but are mostly okay now - timid, not agressive. Our children are older teenagers.
Besides the likelihood that an elderly cat probaby isn't going to live as long as a youngster, and may need some expensive vetinary care sooner rather than later, is there anything we should consider or be aware of when considering adopting an elderly cat?
