still going... but very slowly... mostly asleep, always friendly and pleased to be noticed, still interested in food, but most definitely not doing very much at all. He's so bony and stiff it's hard to cuddle him, but he does love to be settled on a lap, with a folded rug beneath him for stability, to purr and doze.
I look at him, and wonder daily at his staying power. He'll be 20 in September. Dear old chap.
The Old Chap is one of the most fabulous cats I've ever met with his crazy meow/yowl, his stinky breath, litter paws and all the love he shows us when we visit. One seriously cool old cat! :o) x
ReplyDeleteWhat an old darling, there is something so fragile and precious about old cats.
ReplyDeleteHe is gorgeous !
ReplyDeleteawww....a sweet old guy.
ReplyDeleteWe had two little old lady cats that lived til 21 and 20....
Cool, fragile, precious, gorgeous, sweet...how right you all are.
ReplyDeleteLovable and loving,and always generous with his ginger fur, especially if you are wearing black.
A fine chap indeed.
ReplyDelete20! That's a ripe old age.
ReplyDeleteHe seems really lovely.
What a sweet heart. Reminds me of my old ginger cat, he became slow and quiet in his old age after a youth of mischief chasing bits and mice.
