Here at ICanHasCheezburger, we give love to all cats, not just your regular shmegular kitties. We give love to orange cats, especially those ones who share one single braincell… because dumb cats deserve love too. We give love to black cats - our ameowzing voids who, no matter how hard we try, we keep bumping into in the middle of the night. And of course, we give love to senior cats. Because senior cats are awesome and painfully underappreciated.
And we're not talking just about us, the ICanHas writers. Everyone at ICanHasCheezburger loves senior cats, including our purrfect readers. So, when we asked you guys to tell us about the very best thing about owning a senior cat, we knew you guys were going to give us some amazing answers. But we certainly did not expect quite so many answers. These are just a hint of the pawsome answers you gave us, and we are thankful for each and every one.

"He passed a bit more than 3 yrs ago..but he was always happy to see me. I found Geralt in a pet rescue site when he was almost 15. His previous owner surrendered him because he had medical issues. I just tired to make this time left as good as possible. He was the goodest of boys."
"Shiloh is 17 1/2 years old and I have had her since she was 1. She is a talker and has a pretty large vocabulary. Different sounds for different things. She understands a lot of words as well. Surprisingly easy communication with each other. I think this is awesome."
"Our oldest, Einstein, turned 16 this year. He's deaf, has no teeth, has two crumpled ears, and is showing no signs of slowing down. He's super persistent and all he wants to do is cuddle and get into everything."
"He's the most affectionate big old purr box I've ever met. All my cats are sweet but he's on another level."
"Sharing hot water bottles..... sadly my Indy is no longer with me, but she lived a happy 17 years"
