Thank you so much! I appreciate that. Another photographer has just written a post about copyright infringement and I Resteemed it.
It is so hard loosing a pet. We lost our doggie, Carlos, 5 years ago now and I still miss him. We did not get another dog, because I want to make longer trips back to Scotland to visit my family as long as I can. My Dad is 95!
Our other cat Bijou is 18, so when he goes, we won't be getting another pet. I have never been without a cat my entire life, so I'm not sure how will adjust. I had my two dogs for a total of 31 years.
My son is living with us just now, and he has two cats, so if he is still with us, we'll have cats around for a while. I had one cat who lived till she was 21, so Bijou may be around for a while yet. You would never think he was 18!
House cats? How do you take care of your pets that they have had such long lives?
Is it some secret that you would be willing to share?
They have just been pampered! LOL! They all started out as strays, so could have been older - Bijou may be actually 19 or 20. We just guessed he was about a year old when we got him.
They have all been indoor/outdoor cats, because they were so used to being outdoors. I only ever let them out for short periods in the mornings before they ate, though! Bijou knows the routine!
I had a Siamese too who lived till he was 17 or 18. He also had been a stray!
