Neighbor's cat has Alzheimer's, keeps forgetting and accidentally returning to his old home, but the kind person who lives there always makes sure that he "gets home safe"

It is an impawssible thing to comprehend, we know from experience, but the kitten that you adopted will get old. It happens. Somehow, despite the fact that you look at them and remember the times when they used to sit on your shoulder or fit in the palm of your hand, our cats do grow up. And although we can say all day long that senior cats make amazing pets and that senior cats are loving and deserving of everything that kittens deserve, it is still hard to think about when it comes to our own cats.

Still, the same way that we love our own elderly parents and grandparents, we have to love our elderly kittens too. And the kitten in this story, we believe, is very much loved. He has gotten old, and just like we do when we get older, he has started forgetting things. So, after he and his owners moved to a new house down the street, he has started getting confused sometimes and walking to his old home instead…

There is something a little sad about this story. Maybe it is the reality that cats, with age, might go through the same struggles that we can go through with age as well. But, at the end of the day, we can only hope that the people in our lives will treat us as kindly as the person in this story treats this cat.

We do agree with some of the commenters though. At this point in the kitty's life, maybe it's for the better to consider not letting her out anymore. We do understand, of course, that any changes at this age could be difficult for her, and if the only place she goes to is her old home, then maybe it's okay, but we would still consider keeping her inside.
