I am not really sure what I want to ask here so ill start with a short explanation of my situation. There is a cat, named Sammy, she is a 13 year old cutie at my local SPCA. What caught my eye was her age. At 13, she should not be at the SPCA.
Now I need to decide if itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s worth it to stress out my boyfriend by asking that we take her in… I have been hinting at it to him to prepare him for the blow. I guess I really need convincing myself. At 13, is that really old? Or because I am used to big dogs the age 13 just screams super old, almost time to go to heaven. I can get this cat, however I really donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want to stress out my man especially since he has been so great to me lately.
Also, anyone have experience with a house full of babies (two 1yr old cats and 1 10month old puppy) and seniors? Will the babies drive this old girl crazy? My cats are super obnoxious, but they donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t really harass each other.
What do I need to know about senior cats? How long do cats live? Keep in mind this is an SPCA cat so who knows what kind of lifestyle she has lived. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m guessing I cant feed her the same maintenance adult food my boys are on?
Like I said… I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t really know what I am asking. Basically Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m wondering if a 13 year old cat is worth the stress of asking my boyfriend for another animal. I just feel so bad… as I just said to my friend, itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s like putting your grandma in prison.
Thanks all!
