Love your post, Lynn, and all of the quotes about cats! So true. This post is especially poignant for me cuz we had to put our 17 year old cat down in early June.

I’m so sorry to hear about your dear puss Betty. I have a friend whose cat is 31 years old, which is incredible. Cold and wet here so Rambo is curled up indoors. Take care.

He also drinks out of bird baths but it was frozen the other morning so he had to lick the water!

Much enjoyed the sayings but it was the first picture that reminded me of my old family cat that used to stretch out in front of the fire. He always looked so content!

Cats always know the warmest spots don’t they Alex. Since I did that post my dear old cat has been to the vets because he became unwell. It seems to be connected to a thyroid problem. So Rambo is on pills at the moment while we monitor his health. He does seem brighter.

My poor moggie hasn’t been well the last two weeks and has been to the vets. He is now 16 and has a problem with his thyroid which is common in older cats. We are managing it with medication and just keeping an eye on him. Wow, six barn cats sound amazing! I bet they are great mousers!

I’m so sorry to hear about your poor Kitty! I don’t think anybody wakes up thinking that they would like to have six cats 🤣. People drop them off in the woods here and they end up on my farm where I take them in, vet them, and feed them. They get all their shots and they get fixed ☺️❤️

He is doing OK today. We once had six cats when we lived in the city. The mother was a stay with kittens who became much loved pets. Like you they were all neutered and looked after.
