Dormant relaxed muscle? o_O
Merlin got to 22 years so hopefully Cleo will be around at least another decade. She's such a little cute XD
We currently have 1 velociraptor puppy and 2 cats and I swear the dog keeps growing because we love her too much (she is a large breed dog as that's what we tend to get but at nearly 1.5 I thought she was done).
I have had and lost several pets so I probably get you.

Well yeah, I thought I'd make an excuse for Cleopatra's tubbiness; the vet didn't buy it. It's not actually dormant, relaxed muscle, but she wears it well. 😁
Having pets is such a great thing but comes with trouble eventually I suppose, but I'll take that, the benefit of having them in our lives is huge, as you no doubt know.
