She's beautiful, I'm sure that sweet look shows a sweet spirit. So, so sorry for your loss.I lost my Heidi of 22 years a week ago Feb 4th of natural caused at home in my arms with no sign of any suffering. Like a spring that just wore down very slowly. Having a very hard time coping with this horrible nightmare of missing her when I should be thankful (and I am) to have had the honor of so many quality years with her that so many other 'PARENTS' could only dream of. Shame on me! Sorry. I wanted to say to the post regardung the 25 year lold cat how amazing that is...so cool! To all that love cats and all animals in general I Love you.
god help us all that are in pain this is for my Heidi, missing you.
Dad.
As everyone else has said, if this worries you get another vet opinion.What is average lifespan for an indoor female cat?
My cat is 13 and dramatically slowing down. My families very first cat was put to sleep at 12 because of major health issues he had for years, so ive never had an otherwise "average" cat, this is our first. I don't know about old age in animals so that is partly why I ask, I hope her slowing down doesn't mean she doesn't have long to live
I was just wondering what supplements you give to boost their immune system. Peaches is my first cat as an adult, I had cats as a child but we lived in the country and back then cats were not fixed and ran free. Most died at a young age either being hit by cars or diseases among other ways but won't get into that. I think the longest we had any animal when I was a child was a couple years.
Well, my Rachel will be 21 yrs old in May & still hanging in there, GOD bless her soul. She pretty much just eats & sleeps but does quite well getting around for her age & can even still jump onto the couch or jump from couch to chair, so I guess her eyesight is still quite good. She is the only cat I have had that has lived this long & I'm so very grateful to still have her. I do give all my cats a lot of supplements to boost their immune system & feed only good, quality organic food which I think has helped tremendously. However, my other cats passed away a lot younger but maybe up to 15 yrs at the most. Rachels' actual brother Sammy (same litter) passed away many years ago & we still miss that boy. In fact, we had them cremated & they are in our bedroom with their pictures & they will always stay in my heart & soul. I dread the day I will lose Rachel or any of them as it never, ever gets any easier & just writing this, makes me tear up. All I can say, is take care of them & try to keep them as healthy as possible & enjoy & love them each & every day.
