What a cute story. Our "harmless little fuzzball" of a cat if 15. If you saw her you would think she was still a kitten.

The only signs of age on Dinker are tired eyes and a saggy belly.

LOL ...... I have a male cat who is eight with a saggy belly.

Wow!!

I have heard that cats and dogs especially have a problem as they age because they don't make enough Vitamin C anymore. I started giving my mutt extra C and glucosamine (he's 14) and he is doing much better than he was even 3 months ago.

Now, now ...... the love in your eyes for you kitty is clouding them just a little. ;-)

Fifteen year old cats sometimes look a lot like a two or three year old cat, but not really like a kitten.

Are you feeding it. (tongue in cheek)

Dinker plays with May's 5-month-old pit bull, Rocky, and isn't scared to fight with the puppy if he has to.

I give the cat another - how long before pits grow up?

Well, two or three years old, that's really what I meant. She's truly a fuzzball, and also the most innocent creature I've ever encountered.

I hear you.

I love cats ....... some people think a little too much. That's ok though, I know quality when I see it.

My vet warned me about my two kittens, only 9 months old and both have the start of a "saggy belly". Something about getting spayed and metabolism and "food is not love". We are dieting as we type.

Our oldest is a calico female of 20 who takes off on a whim sometimes and goes vertical on the catclimber.

My Tabby is 13.5 years old and still does the bolting around the house. My husband cannot figure out why the kitty does this, I keep telling him "it's a cat thing".
