bisley boys mum · « **Reply #33 on:** August 04, 2008, 20:44:02 PM »

they are all gorgeous, i would post a pic of my oldie TC if i knew how, but all my pics are too larger file size.

tc is 16 and he is black and white and gorgeous (his words not mine). whenever someone asks his age they are always suprised as he doesnt look it.

he is a star as are all the oldies, we love him to pieces

Robinson and all the other "oldies" are lovely.

Go-cat?

gregw · « **Reply #30 on:** August 04, 2008, 00:59:35 AM »

I'm liking this thread, older cats are much more civilised and have proper personalities. Robinsons only 13 but he doesnt look a day older than 5, a bit like myself actually except im 22

.
Poor robinson always feels old when he looks at his Go-Cat biscuits and see's that "seniors" are classed as 8+ though

.

anyway here's robinson, though alot of you will of seen him before

I do love my old man, we wanted a kitten but when I saw Henry on catchat my heart bled and couldn't stop thinking about this poor old man who had been waiting on a home for over a year. It took me 2 days to convince OH he wanted an older cat as well and the homechecker did keep asking if I was sure that was the cat I wanted and that if I changed mind after seeing him there was no pressure. On seeing him it took approx 2secs to fall in love with him. I'd like to say the feeling was mutal, he got out the cage plonked himself on the couch next to me and cuddled in. He isn't the healist of cats, he has had the flu, diagnosed with CRF and a dental all in the last 5 months but I wouldn't change him for the world. Anyway enough gushing here's the pic!

I cant' understand people wanting kittens either, I much prefer oldies.

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #25 on:** August 03, 2008, 11:16:32 AM »

Gorgeous puds

Jaffa would be horrified at me putting him in an older cats thread, so please don't tell him. He's only 11 but I think he can just about sneak in!

The right balance of enthusiasm and relaxed.

Yes - I thought she was getting up but she just moved from the bed she slept in all night to a fluffy pad at the other end of the sofa

(The flectabed is in the middle in case she feels cold

)

Please excuse the mess

JackSpratt · « **Reply #23 on:** August 03, 2008, 11:12:19 AM »

I agree, Mark. I'm definitely more of a fan of "middle aged" cats than really old or really young though. The right balance of enthusiasm and relaxed.

I love the picture of Zi in bed, Desley.

Mark · « **Reply #22 on:** August 03, 2008, 11:07:28 AM »

I amazes me how many people want kittens when they would probably be happier with older cats who for the most part are happy to chill & purr

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #21 on:** August 03, 2008, 10:59:15 AM »

Aww, they are all lovely, I do love older cats, they do have so much to give. Here are the three with me, only 2 are mine, but Zi is living her life out with me.

Molly is 15 and a half, very impressive as when I took her on as a 13yo, I thought it was for months.
Zi is 18
Mabel is ? - we guessed at 12 for insurance, vet thinks she could be 16, but it is only guesswork as she is poorly.

Who needs an excuse for a thread like this?! All these wonderful wonderful senior cats, and none of them look a day over 10

Kirst · « **Reply #10 on:** August 02, 2008, 08:46:24 AM »

Ok so at 10 hes not really old but he's certainly not black! Heres Beavis!

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #9 on:** August 02, 2008, 08:39:52 AM »

Nice idea JS. Some beautiful puds on this thread

Looks like black puddies are in the majority so far. Here's Tom. 18 yrs and 8 mths. Hobbies include sleeping and eating

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #8 on:** August 01, 2008, 22:21:56 PM »

LOve em all and especially Old Mog, she is just gorgeous

JackSpratt · « **Reply #7 on:** August 01, 2008, 16:39:31 PM »

It just had to be done

Cheers

Mark · « **Reply #5 on:** August 01, 2008, 15:02:04 PM »

And at 10, Alice

(although probably older)

Most people know her story - living under a car for a year until the lady decided to phone CP as she had a huge lump on her face. Treated as an absess but turned out to be cancer. Now being treated for her dodgy back and she is sleeping for England

(I suppose she can get comfortable now)

Pics taken this morning

Sabrina (Auferstehen) · « **Reply #4 on:** August 01, 2008, 14:54:44 PM »

Um is 11 old enough?

Rescued at 6 months after being abused (i.e. smashed into a wall) the lovely Mr Penguin (Mr P for short). Everyone loves him and my foster cat Harley remembered him after being in her new house for 3 months.

Bless them both! I agree Sue. Imagine the school marm looking down at you disapprovingly

......thought I'd start a fresh thread for people to put their older cats on.

Here are my two. The big black tom is called Jack and he's 13, and the black and white girl is Carrie who is approximately 18. Both are utter sweeties; even if Carrie does insist on yodelling at 4 o'clock in the morning!
