Everyone loves kittens. Kittens are adorable, kittens are precious, kittens are energetic sweethearts, and they are irresistible. But a cat is only a kitten for a very short time. The rest of the time? Well, your cat grow into petulant teenagers, then mature adults, and eventually, they reach their most regal stage when they become senior cats. And senior cats, in our experience, don't get nearly as much love as they should.

Yes, they're are not as energetic as kittens, but senior cats are affectionate and so loving, senior cats are calm, and they bring that calmness into our lives day by day. Senior cats are amazing, and we will hear no argument against us. Nothing makes us happier than seeing an adorable kitty grow to old age with their human, happy and content. And on this fine Sunday, we want to bring that happiness and content to you guys as well, so please enjoy this wholesome senior cat appreciation collection.

"This is our 18 year old baby, Honey. She was only a few weeks old when we rescued her from a construction site, wandering around in the rubble. Aside from the arthritis, she's doing well for a senior kitty. She brings us so much joy ?"

"I went on vacation and the cat sitters kept texting me that Snapdragon was hiding and not eating much. I said she was fine and just throwing a tantrum.
I got home and she had clearly lost weight. She still was refusing to eat or drink. I took her to the emergency vet to discover that I was totally correct. She had made herself malnourished and dehydrated because I had the audacity to leave her."
