Aye he's been with my a lot years now... so at 14 he's quite an old fella and sadly I'm not sure now, how much longer he will be with me.
Oh, I understand that. We have a cat who's 15 - she was first cat in our family, joined our family as "reparation" when we moved our then-teenaged daughters from the town where they were born and raised. We had a scare recently .... my wife noticed a change of habits, and the vet suspected cancer; while shaving her for an ultrasound, they found a serious infection under her tail. At first the vet thought it might have been "thrown off" by a colon tumor. The ultra sound didn't find anything, however, and the eventual diagnosis was that she had been bitten by our other cat, and the wound had become infected. Several months later she is fine, back to her 23 hours of napping per day {we're in her awake time right now - she just asked me if it might be dinner time now.
