I'm wondering where Harry fits into the age range of the Litter Tray as he's 14.

Brothers who were 9 in September ... what a life!

WellbeingMyArse · 22/11/2019 17:23

Oldest is about 11.
Youngest is 15 months.
The others are in between.

@BovaryX She came from Cats Protection, was a stray with a presumed flea allergy. She's much better but likes to keep her belly bald, and goes through stages of chewing around her back too. She's flea treated, I've tried hypoallergenic food, kept her in/let her out/tried feliway for stress etc etc. Just do my best to manage it with steroid jabs when she gets bad, but she normally looks a bit of a scruff 😄

My girl is 7 and my boy is just 1. I lost my old boy last year at the grand age of 19.

Lello, what a lucky girl she was to find you. She’s a lovely looking cat irrespective of her patches. She must adore you

BovaryX · 23/11/2019 10:28

It’s really nice to see all the cats on this thread. So many of them look so happy and are obviously well looked after and much loved. Nice to see so many black cats as well. I know they have a tougher time being adopted and it’s great to see so many who are rescues doing so well

This wee guy is 15 and acts as much of a kitten now as he did a decade and a half ago 😁

@JollyHolly30 another Persian on the litter tray, woohoo. They seem quite rare! They are such wonderful cats! And completely gorgeous.

KittenLedWeaning · 23/11/2019 12:26

Toddler - Jolly's cat is like a white version of your Cheddar!

Thomasina is beautiful, and she knows it 😁.

@Toddlerteaplease I know, people either seem to love or hate the breed. JJ usually looks like a walking cloud but once every 6 months he goes to get shaved which he LOVES - he purrs on the Groomer's table and comes out looking like he does in those photos. It seems to transform him back into a super energetic kitten again. Booked in for next Saturday so he'll be looking spiffy in time for Christmas!

I've got 3 ages 9, 4, 2 and 9 months. My mums cat lived until he was 21! By that time he had no teeth but other than that he was healthy. He was attacked by a dog and never recovered so was PTS shortly after.

nearlyfinished1moreyear · 23/11/2019 14:29
  1. Sorry Hmm though one my females has been spending her life in my downstairs neighbours. She mostly comes in to get fed lays about a bit and I imagine does the same downstairs!
Cotswoldmama · 23/11/2019 14:31

@YesItsMeIDontCare shes got an amazing resting bitch faceGrin

CaptainCallisto · 23/11/2019 14:39

Biscuit is 3 (but still really small for his age) and Millie is 12 weeks.

I really wish I could post pics but the android app just won't play ball!

Gingerkittykat · 23/11/2019 16:11

Shadow is 14, he sadly was diagnosed with cancer a month ago.

Simba is 9, can't find a pic of him right now.

@JollyHolly30 fortunately my black Persians coats were really easy to manage so they only need a tidy up, not a lion cut!

KittyMarmalade · 23/11/2019 16:30

I have two sisters who are over 19 now. They're in reasonable health but a bit senile and rather demanding. I am finding it quite labour intensive with all the daily medicines (kidney / thyroid) and toilet accidents. It's also proving very expensive!

BovaryX · 23/11/2019 16:31

Ginger, Shadow is lovely, very sorry to hear about his diagnosis. What did vet say about him? Very sad news, he looks like my cat

OrcharD14 · 23/11/2019 16:49

Snowy’s 6.5. I adopted her when she was 2, as her previous owners had a baby & decided they couldn’t keep her! Their loss is definitely my gain.
