Cleo is getting olderNothing serious but those `tell tale` signs are starting. More fussy about her food,drinking a bit more and just a wee bit thinner around her flanks. Very soon we will celebrate 25 years of owning a cat(s) one more heartbreak and then the big question-do we get another???

How old is Cleo, Steph? Well loved and cared for cats like Cleo can reach a good age: some of our members cats were in their early 20s; my two oldest died at 19 1/2 and 20. Only you and Jenny can decide about another cat, but IMO a house without a cat is not a home. There is always enough love to welcome a new friend ... not a replacement, no cat can be replaced ...... but someone new to love you and be loved. |

Yes, how old is Cleo Steph? Is she crying, seeming disorientated or exhibiting any other signs that are worrying? IMO so long as she has a good quality of life and is not in pain, she will be a happy cat. Cats don't worry like we do about not being able to do things as we used to, or remembering what we did yesterday. |

She is young yet-say 11 or 12??-she was a `rescue` girl. Not likely to pop off for a while but I know the signs that say "I`m no longer a kitten" A bit like myself come to think on  |

As long as she's happy and contented then I'm sure she'll be around for a while. Always sad, I htink, when you see that step from young to older cat. |

Only 11? She's just in early middle age! Leia will be 11 next month. |

My Leo is 14, and quite honestly does not look that old.. |

It depends on the cat - my Balie is coming up to 13 and he really, really looks much older than his years. Fifi is only 6 months behind him yet looks almost as bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as when she was a youngster (apart from being a tad 'jowly'). But they're pedigrees so don't wear as well as mogs . . . |

That's true, all of our longest lived cats were moggies. |
