I'm currently looking after DD2's best friend's family cat..away for the long weekend.
I had never met him before but offered as they were desperate. Went into today to feed him and give him some attention and ...oh boy.
He's 20...and looks it. I know he is well cared for and very much loved, but he is thin and tatty looking..just looks ancient! He can't see well and had crapped (twice) on the outside of the litter tray but ate fine, purred incredibly loudly and was happy to have me sit and cuddle him for 20 minutes. A dear old boy, but honestly looks like a poster for neglected moggies even though I KNOW he is not..has regular check ups etc.
Why do they get so raggy and skinny when old?
