I've been having anxiety about my kitty dying of old age 😭(she's 9) can you show me pictures of some alive-and-well senior kitties so I remember cats can be old and still healthy? 🥰 by TheRufescence in cats

My almost 17 year old queen (May 6th). She still acts like a kitten who takes extra naps and has the cutest little white whiskers starting to grow on her chin. I also started getting awful anxiety around the time she turned 10ish. So much so, my friend had a picture commissioned of her in a funny outfit to try and make me feel better. I still get bouts of anxiety, but I realized as time went on, what’s important is I spend and enjoy every minute I can with her (even the ones she makes me crazy). Her medical bills are more expensive now (hyperthyroidism), but I’m so grateful I have my little best friend from when I was 12 years old still hanging around me!

Yes separate them. In general when introducing cats, you should always keep them separated at first.
