Hello, I'm new here. I have a 17 year old cat named Biff. I found him as an orphaned kitten when I was eight years old, so you can imagine how attached I am to this little guy. He's doing well for his age, but certainly has his elderly issues. Such as: arthritis, some incontinence, stomach upset, and occasional constipation. As well as a couple of cysts that appeared within the last year. It's all very scary, the prospect of losing him and how - but I am going to be the best mama I can possibly be to him - no matter what. For now, I'm thankful that he's a happy guy as long as he has a warm spot to nap in, kibble in his bowl, and the occasional treat. But it's hard to see him grow old. I just wanted to reach out to my fellow cat lovers for any advice when helping your kitty through their golden years. And of course, any prayers and vibes for my Biff are much appreciated. 
She also naps in warmer areas of the house. She hardly goes out unless it is really hot.
