Almost 6 months ago I lost one of two cats, a 16 yr old female.  Same as yours, her back half just quit working.  My other cat, a male one year younger, was out of sorts for quite a while.  The male was mostly an outside cat, the female inside.  My front door is glass, and every morning and...

It's a shocker, I had to put my 16 year old cat down this past Tuesday.  What a void she left.  I posted on here a few days ago and it helped to share with other cat fans.  I know exactly how you feel, hang in there.  Heathcliff is eating cat treats and chasing catnip toys with Bitty...

Yes it always seemed like her tree every year.  Every year she would circle around the tree meowing when I brought it inside.  This year she sat on the windowsill by the tree as soon as I put it up and sniffed it for the better part of an hour.  Must have reminded her of when she first came home...

Actually I have had him indoors for the last couple of days.  He has a little cat door through which he can go out when he wants, and was outside part of the day yesterday.  It is a one way door though (can go out not in) because we had a problem with raccoons coming in the house in the past. ...

Ah, thanks to Rosiemac, who helped me figure out how to post a picture. Here's Bitty by the Christmas tree a few days ago, her favorite spot on the windowsill, ruling her "domain".  She would watch the world for hours there every day each Christmas, and then nap on the carpet under the tree...

OK- so how do I post a picture?

Here's an observation-  I have another cat, Bosun, who we've had for 15 years, a year younger than Bitty.  When I brought Bitty's remains home, I let him sniff (sounds kind of grim, Bitty was in a little box that the vet put her in for the trip home), he sniffed all around Bitty for quite a...

Thanks for the kind words everyone.  I would attach a picture of her under the Christmas Tree just a few days ago, but the site says I don't have permission.  Oh Well. I appreciate the suggestions on getting another cat, and I probably will.  It might be a while though.  Spent a good bit of the...

OK, I feel a little wacky posting this. I had to put my cat Bitty down yesterday.  She was over 16, had gotten quite frail.  She had the hyper-thyroid condition, and I gave her the pills as required without fail.  She seemed to be doing ok. Yesterday I got home from work, she did her regular...
