If there's anything we're thankful for it's for people who adopt senior cats. Don't get us wrong, adoption is great no matter who you choose. But let's be honest, the brand-new kitten with 0 trauma will probably have a much higher chance to get adopted than an elderly cat that's been rehomed multiple times. It's no secret that when you adopt from shelters, it's very likely that the pet will come with some sort of baggage. But as cat people, it's our ultimate duty to help all those felines in need. It's our job to be patient and persistent when making connections with our feline residents. 

And guess what? We recently stumbled upon the purrfect Twitter thread to serve as an example of what the perfect cat person should do when adopting a senior cat. We warn you, this may just be the most wholesome, heartwarming, and uplifting thread you'll ever come across. We hope you enjoy!

    Rectangle - Today Tommy ate some treats and that led him to eat food and drink water and now he is napping _ I think that he is in the closet so I am going downstairs to get some ginger ale after having already had a good nap myself. I am very happy and thankful for this day.

    Rectangle - ●●● Tommy has been even more friendly today and therefore people who wanted to meet him were actually able to visit with him. He even bumped Peggy on her cheek. Wow! I am so proud of him! He didn't even wake me last night! I am so energized with joy that I haven't needed a nap!

    :') Tommy was even more friendly because he could sense you're the best hooman ever!

    These two were meant for one another

    Font - < I just discovered that I have been mistaken about Tommy's age. He is nine years old! I thought that he was six. He is so alert and agile that he can jump straight up onto the counters. He will keep me young (and happy). Like Comment Share ...

    Font - Holly @coldandabsurd : Replying to @moosemanpaul She hasn't posted any pictures of him- she has tremors in her hand and photos are difficult, and our shelter took his photos off the website since he was adopted but I will see if I can dig up any photos from before! He's a big brown tabby. 5:01 PM Dec 22, 2022

    Font - Jennie @Jennie30465250 : Replying to @coldandabsurd Aww my elderly father just adopted an older cat too after losing a faithful friend. She sits by him and purrs and has brought him a lot of fun playing with toys he made her. She is now warm and loved and spoilt rotten. Older cats make great companions. 10:54 AM. Dec 23, 2022
