Eleven years is not very old for a cat these days!

Andreas and his brother Silver were adopted from the local kill shelter as kittens. They were not exactly the pick of the litter types of kittens (gray tabby striped).

My husband was so depressed after his kitty that lived to be eighteen years old died! The kitty before her lived to be seventeen!

So yes, eleven is not that old for cats that live indoors. They live much longer if you keep them inside and they are a lot happier too. I have three cats, all are from the same kill shelter. The youngest is seven years old and a lovely black cat. All of them are flea free and no, I don't use any chemicals on them, just a flea comb.

I don't know what I'd do without my trio of love!

Thanks again for the good thoughts and well wishes.

They have worked obviously!

Put on heavy gloves, wrap him in a towel, stick him in a crate, and go. raging moderate Feb 2024 #5
I agree. Take him to an emergency vet. He could have just eaten something bad and it may be able Maraya1969 Feb 2024 #10
