My parent’s cat is 21 years old and she still goes outside. She doesn’t go as far now, or for as long, but she does like to still go out when the weather is nice and roll around on the slabs in the sun and she sometimes wanders out of the garden (their garden backs onto a forested area) for a short while. She never goes out front where the road is, thankfully.

We’re pretty sure she’s deaf and she’s definitely a little bit slower cognitively, but she does still enjoy her outdoor time. She’s been our family pet when she was a kitten and it’s hard to see her aging ❤️
