Does an old cat still wants to play? or they lost interest about playing?

Like people, some do and some don't. It is good if they do....keeps things going like bowel movments. Also, actvity is good for joint health. They suffer from the same ailments we do such as arthritis.

I have known people who are active into their 90's and some who pretty much give it up at 75.

I believe cats, frankly lots of animals, behave the same.

Not as often as in their younger days. My senior plays but sleeps more than before.

We had a Sealpoint that stayed pretty active until she crossed at 19. A ribbon on a stick kept her going.

My two oldest are 10 yr old males. A string is still irresistible to both of them; or a hand moving under a blanket; but they definitely choose to do a lot of watching when the others are playing.

My 12 & 13 yr old girls still play sometimes, but they definitely get tired faster than they did in their younger days.

My dear little Fred played until a few days before he passed to the Bridge at 18. He chased squirrels, dug moles out of the ground, ruled over his kitty family with smacks to the head or baths right up till then as well.

My Little Man Tate played until he was an old man. He stopped when he got diabetes, and shortly after that he left me. I buried him with his favorite toy.
