Would love to see pictures of your elderly cats. This is Beanie, he will be 20 in June. He spends all his time sleeping on his bed on the sofa. He has a hot water bottle under the blankets.

Sadly now gone (nearly 8 years ago now) but this was Monty aged 20.
My current two older cats are 14 which I refuse to accept as old 😁.

I lost my oldest a few months ago, he was 18.
Next oldest is Snooky, she's 15. She had all her teeth out about 5 years ago. Apart from that, you wouldn't know she's a senior.

I also have a 14 year old. I didn’t even think of adding her to this thread but I guess they are classed as elderly.

They are all adorable.

A Pet Remedy heat pad may be welcome for these oldies. My nine-year-old loves his (sadly he is too young for this thread 😉)

This is Millie who very sadly passed away just over a year ago on her 18th birthday. Such a character and missed terribly (had to get a tabby kitten to fill the void she left).

Love all kitties whatever age! Have another 4 to cuddle still.

This is handsome Harry, he'll be 15 in June. He was a youthful 13 in this pic.
He's now on steroids for his arthritis and is showing signs of cognitive impairment so I'm not sure we'll have many more years left with him, poor old man 😞

My little love died at 11, too young for this thread, so I will just add this:

This is our gorgeous girl. She is 21 and we got her from the RSPCA 2 years ago.

She is incredibly naughty. And has been rehomed quite a few times in her life as she is feisty and very bitey and scratchy. We adore her completely, utterly and totally. She's in excellent health just a thyroid condition. But a bit of a chubster. She likes gently poached chicken and dreamies and she spends her life following my son around and sitting on him.

This photo was taken when she was around 20.
