If you've ever had the pleasure of owning and taking care of a senior cat then you know just how fragile and gentle they can be. Oftentimes, senior cats are overlooked due to their old age. People assume that if they adopt a senior cat, they'll lose the cat too early and won't have enough time with them, and so they decide they're not worth it.
But if you ask us, that's a really selfish way of looking at things. Yes, it's true, you won't have nearly as much time with a senior cat as you will with a newborn kitten. But if you take a moment to step back and think about the senior cat in need and what's best for them, then you'll quickly realize that you have the power to rock their entire world and make the rest of their life as comfortable, loving, and cushy as possible. You'll be their last memory, and hopefully, it will be a memory of peace, love, and comfort.
Not to be dramatic or anything, but the bond between a hooman and their senior cat is one like no other. Unfortunately (or fortunately), old age is inevitable and part of the cycle of life. That's why it's important you treasure every waking moment with your cataroos; every cuddle, every purr, and every meow.
This dude doesn't look a day over 5 years old, really! Such a distinguished little gentleman. We obviously can't say for sure, but this little fella looks very polite and well-mannered. And the little blep? Ugh, we can't. Hearts are melted!
