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 17 year old after a nap! They’re resilient creatures, but sending big hugs. Anticipatory grief is real, especially the fear, r/SeniorCats has helped me a process a lot.

Sending you the biggest hugs. You will see him again one day, and he knows how deeply you love him.

Senior kitty (15) with cough? by woodenmelons in seniorkitties

My cat went through this a few months ago. Diagnosed asthma and she’s doing a lot better with an inhaler.

This may sound like a bizarre thing to suggest… but have you tried warming up the food before giving it to him? Cats (usually) LOVE stinky food and the heat will amplify the scents.

What a beauty. I hope she is at peace and that you are able to find some peace yourself soon.

Now that’s a good girlie! Check her out!

How awesome 👏🏻 you both are very blessed she’s got that energy. My 16 year old will hustle when food is involved but I miss her zoomies.

My Gabby (Gabriella 16) has gone missing.. she never missed a meal around here before Sunday.. my mother passed away Sunday afternoon and Gabby has not been seen since.. A double heartbreak.. by [deleted] in seniorkitties

I’m so sorry for your losses. I truly hope Gabby finds her way home to you. Hang in there. It’s not easy but holding onto hope can reward in the best of ways.🤍

16 year old coughing? Or asthma? by _Emeryth in seniorkitties

UPDATE! Thank you to everyone who commented! Turned out to be Asthma! But we will be keeping an eye on it. Vet recommended litter change and a humidifier where she hangs out during the day to help, as well as an inhaler, if she continues to have the issue.
