In our humble, yet very well-educated, opinion, there is no such a thing as a cat that is "too old". Senior cats are pawmazing. Yes, they may be a little slower and a little less energetic, but senior cats make for great pets. They will appreciate you like no other. They will give you an endless amount of love. You will spend every waking moment trying to make every single day that they have left the best day of their lives, and every bit of love that you give them, they will give you tenfold.

Senior cats may require a little more attention, and they may even require that you make some adjustments, but we promise you that each and every one of those adjustments will be worth it, even if they are hard, even if one of those adjustments means giving your senior cat a better life with someone else.

    r/cats u/TryMuay Thai • 2d Join Family friends' cat was getting too old & immobile to be getting harassed by their hyper dogs all the time. Never owned a cat before, but said he could move into my apartment to live out his days in peace. Turns out he's super chill and now we're homies. Ignores me when I ask about splitting rent :(

    Not going to lie, our first reaction to this post was to gasp and think that the family that left him was so wrong for it, so we are super glad that you clarified. While we think that 99% of times, it is wrong for a family to give away the cat that has been with them its entire life… this might be that 1% case where it was right.

    He really does look happy in his new home, and isn't that what truly matters at the end of the day? We think it is. And we're also happy to hear that his old family comes to visit do often. We hope that these visits make him happy and that they will continue for a long, long time.

    TryMuayThai OP. 2d Important context: 1. His name is Special Agent Jack Bauer. (I've renamed him that and he told me he's cool with it)

    2. The family are GREAT people who have loved and taken care of him for like 12 years. They live in a big house with little carpeting and a lot of stairs so it's hard for him to get around since he's so old. They also live two blocks away and stop by weekly to visit and drop off food and medicine and all that. They love him very much and only wanted to do this because the mobility issues and their dogs messing with him was causing him a lot of stress so they wanted to see if he would be happier

    3. If at any point he seemed uncomfortable with being here the family would have taken him back in a heartbeat. But he loves it here and is very happy.

    4. I did not make him obese. That is how I got him. I am actively working on ways to help him lose weight and manage his diet so please don't tell me I'm abusing him. I'm not.

    5. Again, he is in the best possible situation for a cat that's around 15 years old. No stairs, fully carpeted, and everything else he could possibly need. I promise that he will be able to lay around and be an old cat here for the rest of his days which is exactly what his family wanted for him.
