My boy, Pete, turns 18 years old today!!! Yup, I've had him since around August of 2007, about two years after I finished college.
Despite being in stage 2 or 3 kidney failure, and the vet's prediction of needing to put him down at the end of 2024 or early 2025...here we are 6+ months later, and he's still going fairly strong. (We'll go for a vet visit soon to get checked on how he's doing internally.)
He jumps up and climbs up to get on his blanket on the couch, his cat bed next to the cat tree and my tall bad! He still enjoys looking out the sliding door at the world. He loves his pate, and eats about 3 times a day, along with dry food grazing. He still purrs and talks to me a lot, especially when he's hungry.
My cat sitter has told me several times, "I hope I come back in another life as your cat! You take such good care of your babies." ❤️
Please wish my Petey Pete, my Peterini, my purr boy and my old man, a happy birthday! (18 cat years is about 95 people years!)
