That's a good age for a cat!. Pentina was only about 10-12 years old, but
then he had cancer, alas. Smudge (neighbour's cat) was 26 when he passed
away a couple of months back. navigate her way around the house by dead reckoning
and whisker-sensing.
YEs, they are pretty amazing creatures. Their wiskers can apparently
detect very small air movements which helps them to hunt in poor light
(even if their eyes are functioning properly).
I still miss her. Cats are like members of the family, so believe me I
understand what you're feeling.
My condolences.
Thank you. As I said, he was a great companion to me. He enjoued watching
me hacking. And I am pleased I gave him happiness.
