Bo's Cat Cam--- 4/23/10

*

For fans of Little Baby, I found the above snapshot of her in a dusty drawer. It was taken in 1993.

And below is her today. Blaine and I worry about her because she's so old that she limps when she walks, she doesn't always make it to the litter box, she makes that "yowling" sound at night when she is confused and can't find us, her vision and hearing are poor, she can't jump up on the furniture anymore, and she sleeps most of the time.

Sometimes she sleeps so deeply that I become alarmed and go check to see if she's breathing. I've heard that housecats can live long lifetimes---and I really hope she does.

And here's the idgit called Leonard. He's only about 2 years old.

Enjoy the pictures of your cats, your knitting too. I had a cat live to be 19, he was so full of personality, he has been gone 2 yrs now and I still think abou him a lot.

My cat lived to 21. Try some nightlights - my cat yowled at night too - the nightlights helped him see. I put them over his food dish, near the litter box and along the path to the bedroom.

Thank you, Anonymous---I will definitely try that!

Goodness Bo, Little Baby is the same age as my cat Bug. She is definitely not the agile kitty she used to be. But what would we do without them.

You're so right Tottergirl--I would be so lonely without the little idgits!!

We had a cat live to be about 19 years old & we currently have one that is nearing 16 years old. So they can do it.
