Tiger Lily wants to explain to everyone that her blogs are going to change, starting with the next one. This will be the year that we establish our new normal.

What Can We Expect?

For one, you can expect fewer newsletters. Only one a month. My little paws get tired of typing sometimes.

For another, I won’t be sharing so many recipes and things about wine or anything else. Not unless – as Mom says – it’s germane. Ha!

And?

Maybe there will be some short stories. I’m not sure. We’re going to work that out in the next month.

What About Mommy?

Mommy is very happy that she will be concentrating on a little writing again. It’s been a long, long couple of years.

In Closing

Oh, and don’t let me forget to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This is a Tiger Lily Approved Way Of Life!

Mr. Bean here. I want to tell you how COVID changed my life. Some for the better, some for the worse.

Food. Let’s Talk About Food.

Mom was home most of the time during that period. Now, she’s still home a lot more than she used to be. That’s good, but not all the time. I’m used to getting my way with the other cats all the time, except for mealtime. At mealtime I have to have my food in a private room with a door that closes, because we have a feline vacuum cleaner in the house. I may be 17 pounds of love, but Mattie, six pounds of fluff, sucks up all of her food, then comes for mine. I’m such a gentleman, I just back up and let her have it. That’s why I have to go to a special room now.

If Mom weren’t home all of the time, things would be back to regular, and we’d have more dry food, less really really good wet food, and we would probably nap more.

Visitors

We had fewer visitors. Me, I love visitors. It gives me the chance to show off my beautiful self and get pets and hear how soft I am and how pretty my eyes are and isn’t he the gorgeous cat and … well, you get the picture. With fewer guests, I get less of that. I’m ready for more, but Mom is kind of liking her separate time.

Helping Mom

Mom being home more gives us more time to help her with her computer work. (That’s fun. Especially when we fix something and she has to figure out what we did.) And then, if the weather permits, she takes us outside to the kitty kondo. And we get to cry to come in, then cry to go out, then cry to come in… We give her some steps.

Mom’s Multi-Tasking

Mom says she multi-tasks, which means that while she works on her computer, she has something else going

Mommy turned off the news. She was home too much, and the news was too much, so she turned it off. We watch movies and old or new television series. She calls it “streaming.” She “cut the cable.” I’m not sure what she means by that. There are still lots of cables in the house. Anyway, sometimes the movies are fascinating to us kitties.

She listens to her books more, and there are lots of nice voices on the books. She listened to this one book not too long ago. She said it was about an old man and he went out and caught a huge big fish and the sharks came and it was a famous book by some guy named Ernie, I think, and the reader was this actor that Mom likes with a really nice voice. There. I told you the whole thing! You don’t have to listen to it now!

The Kittens

Now that we’re home all the time, Mom started fostering kittens. Wow. They haven’t had their shots or been fixed when they come, and they have to stay in the bathroom. Once they get their shots, Mom lets me in to visit. That’s fun. I get to sit up high and watch them do kitten stuff. I remember being a kitten. The bad part is that Mom splits her time between them and us. They don’t get to come down to bed, so we have her all to ourselves then. Well, “we” still have to share with one another. Sometimes I get mad at my sisters and don’t care to have them in bed with me. But in general, it’s okay. I guess I digressed a little bit.

Those kittens can be fun to watch.

In Closing

Anyway, I guess, if life has to change, I can live with the changes. I’m a kitty after all. I just sit back and watch it happen.

This is a Tiger Lily Approved Way To Look At Life.

Speckles is one of the younger cats in the house. Little Socks, now aged 19, has been the alpha of the house since she arrived. (She never tried to “alpha” Tiger Lily, but she “alpha’d” everyone else.)

All of the cats have unique personalities, and Speckles has a tortie’s perspective on life.

Tortitude & Passive Resistance

Called “tortitude,” cats of Speckle’s persuasion tend to be strong-willed and fiercely independent. She is both of those things. Torties are also supposed to be very vocal. She is not. She’s more the strong, silent type.

The one thing that was apparent early on was that she was not going to allow anyone to bully her into doing anything she did not want to do. That included the current alpha, Little Socks, and the “mother” of the household, Tiger Lily.

She has also mastered the art of sitting quietly, gazing intently, and seeming to know nothing yet everything at the same time. She moves silently. One minute she can be seen sitting on the kitchen table. The next, she is sitting on the desk. Suddenly, you look up, and she is in the up-high, which would have been a noisy ascent by any of the other cats.

Interview

Little Socks, beside herself one day for “getting nowhere” with Speckles, being used to getting everything she wants all the time, asked Tiger Lily to intervene. The conversation went something like this.

Tiger Lily: Speckles, Little Socks asked you politely to give her part of the sunbeam.

Speckles: [stares into space]

Tiger Lily: Was she polite when she asked?

Speckles: [looks out the window]

Tiger Lily: She asked politely.

Speckles: [licks a paw]

Tiger Lily: Do you know that we share things in this house?

Speckles: [settles into a more comfortable position]

Tiger Lily: Will you share with her next time?

Speckles: [sits up again]

Tiger Lily: Are you going to talk to me?

Speckles: [yawns]

Tiger Lily: Really? This is what I get?

Speckles: [stands, trots off]

Ninjatude & Active Resistance

If you are a human who needs to do something like take her to the doctor for shots, or catch her of a morning for medicine, you will be treated to a ninja personality like no other. Even in a closed room, there is no catching her. She can twist and turn in midair, and find the most out-of-the way places to hide. And, talking about medicine, if you try for three to four days to give her medicine every day, for the next six months, she will wait for you to deliver dinner in a place where you can only place a dish, not reach in and grab.

Interview

Mommy, beside herself because Speckles won’t allow herself to be touched to get her medicine, asks Tiger Lily to have a conversation with her.

Tiger Lily: Speckles, Mommy says you won’t let her give you medicine.

Speckles: [stares into space]

Tiger Lily: She just needs to give you the medicine.

Speckles: [looks out the window]

Tiger Lily: You’ll feel better if you just let her. It’s quick, and it doesn’t taste that bad.

Speckles: [licks a paw]

Tiger Lily: You’ve been sick. Really, it will make you better.

Speckles: [settles into a more comfortable position]

Tiger Lily: Will you stop hiding from Mommy?

Speckles: [sits up again]

Tiger Lily: Oh, for goodness sakes! I’m done with this!

Speckles: [yawns]

Tiger Lily: Mom! She’s impossible!

Speckles: [stands, trots off]

In Closing

Really? Who’s in charge here?

This is a Tiger Lily Approved Story About A Crazy Little Cat.

This is Speckles. I was elected to tell you about the animals that live outside our house.

For the most part, we’re really happy to be inside looking out, but every now and then, we would like to get out and play.

We Want To Play With…

The birds! We would love to watch the birds that come close to the house, and the ones that fly around in the trees around the house. But every time we go outside to the kitty condo, the birds fly away. They’re faster than us, and they can go higher.

The chipmunks are pretty fun to watch, too. I have a fantasy every now and then, that the window melts away and I can jump out and catch those two that play in the rock garden. We all know the legend of The Day Tiger Lily Caught A Chipmunk, and we can only dream it can be us!

Here’s the story. Tiger Lily lived here all by herself. (Except for Mommy. Mommy lived here, too, and sometimes Uncle Jim’s dog Daphne.) In those days, Mommy let Tiger Lily go outside on a leash. One day, she was out on the leash, and a chipmunk got too close to her! She caught it! Daphne tried to help her, and it looked for all the world (to Mommy) that Daphne was trying to kill Tiger Lily!!!!! Mommy ran to the patio door and opened it, and YUP, YOU GUESSED IT! That chipmunk ran inside the house! Mommy had to take Daphne and Tiger Lily to Uncle Jim’s house and lock them in. Then she opened all of the doors and sat in the kitchen real quiet. That chipmunk, lucky for mommy, ran upstairs, looked at Mommy, then ran out the kitchen door.

Like I said, we all wish it could be us.

There are rabbits that come around, and we would like to play with them, too, especially the babies.

Bugs. Lots of bugs. Bugs that fly and bugs that crawl and bugs that light up in the night. Lots of them fly to the windows at night if there’s a light on. They are trying to get in, and we wish they could. But Mommy has these things called screens that keep them out.

Oh! There are turkeys! I could have talked about them with the birds, but they’re different. They come out in big groups. They look really fun.

The little baby deer come right up to the window to look at us. I don’t think they would hurt us, but it might be fun to play tag with them. Sometimes the baby raccoons play tag with the baby deer.

I, me in particular, I want to play with the baby raccoons, but Mommy won’t let me get close to them. I watch them through the screen door, though, and sometimes we’re just a foot or two apart. They’re always looking for food!

We Would Hide From…

There’s a big, fat groundhog. Not only does he look big, I think, if it came down to it, he would probably fight with us. Frankly, he doesn’t look like he knows how to play.

The skunks are cute, but something tells me we should stay away from them. I’m not sure what it is, but… if we were lucky enough to get outside, I’d leave them alone.

The foxes … I don’t think they would hurt us, but their teeth are pretty sharp looking!

Inside The House…

We do a great job hunting lots of things that are in the house. There are gray mousies and colored mousies and balls and an orange rodent and a shapeless pink thing and skittery things and other kinds of things with feathers and bells…. We’re great hunters, so we don’t have to worry about getting outside of the house to hone our skills.

But we can dream….

This is a Tiger Lily Approved Story, And Tiger Lily Wants To Say That She Loves To Stay Inside To Hunt, But She Remembers The Great Day Of The Chipmunk.

Moriah is one of the younger cats of the household. She is the only cat that entered the house as an adult. No one at the shelter knew her story. The doctor put her age at “2 or 3.” We decided to go with 2.

She had been cared for at some point; she had already been “fixed.” But during one of the coldest winters ever, she was either thrown out or lost, and a Good Samaritan took her to the shelter.

She hid under the bench. For days. She wouldn’t come out to eat. She wouldn’t come out to meet people.

I actually got her by accident. I had gone in to leave a donation and saw a friendly dark gray boy cat, sleek and short-haired. I called back and said I wanted the “gray one.” Because of snow and road closures, I couldn’t get in for a couple of days. When I did, I filled out the paperwork for the “gray one.” We then went back to the enclosure room, and the volunteer went into the cage to the left of the one I remembered, digging underneath a bench for a kitty that was hiding.

I said, “Huh, he was so friendly when I was here before.”

She turned with a fluffy gray bundle in her hands, a long-haired light gray and peach (dilute calico) girl. She handed the girl to me, and two front paws immediately went around my neck. She was terrified, but she was saved.

I was shocked. The sleek gray one was gone, but this one… this one was beautiful. The volunteer noticed my surprise and asked if I wanted to go through with it.

Of course I did.

She was a beautiful fluffy kitty.

She is even more beautiful now. And definitely more fluffy, in every way.

Moriah Speaks

I was saved that day. I went to my new home with my new mommy, and I got this really big room all to myself. (Mom calls it the bathroom.) I hid under this rack thing that Mommy keeps hangy-down things on, so I couldn’t be seen by anyone. And I stayed there. She would put food out, and water, and she brought in a chair and a table and sat with me for hours. I still hid.

She left dry food, then wet food, then treats, then, finally, tuna. I sneaked out one night and ate the tuna. So that’s what I got for a while, then a mixture of wet food and dry food. Eventually, probably a couple of weeks after she rescued me, I would eat everything she put out for me.

I stayed in the bathroom for quite a while, until everyone knew I was safe. But every now and then, a kitty would come in to sniff. I hid. There was no way I was going to say hello to kitties.

Mommy slept in that chair for several hours every night, and one night, after eating my tuna, I climbed up on that chair and slept on her chest.

I hid less after that. But I learned it was safe to eat!!

And I learned that the human in the house – Mommy – was not only okay, but she loved me. And the kitties in the house were okay with me, too. I’m not cuddle buddies with any of them, but they know me, they let me eat, and they let me sleep, and they never bother me.

It’s okay for me to love myself. And I do.

My Message

Tiger Lily asked me to give you a positive message, because there is so much going on these days that isn’t positive. Here it is.

I have come to love my big fluffiness. Some people would call me a fluffy ball. Some roly-poly. Some would be rude and call me fat.

But no one can deny that I wear my long fluffy hair like a queen.

I love it when Mommy brushes my lion mane and chest. I don’t care for it when she tries to brush my back, or sides, or anything else. Every now and then she catches me to give me a good brush, and sometimes she brings in this woman who puts me in a harness, brushes my hair and shaves my butt.

Now THAT’S something! I like to show off my butt for weeks after that.

When I was at the shelter, it was very scary. I darn near froze to death before getting there, and I had learned that humans couldn’t be trusted.

Then I was saved by Mommy and the other kitties in the house. I found out that they love me, no matter what. And I learned to love myself.

Here is the message: Love yourself. Love your body. No matter what you are, human or kitty. That’s how you find and keep your place in the world.

This is a Tiger Lily Approved Body Positive Message.

This is Tiger Lily, here to give you a message about September.

It’s true! September is Happy Cat Month! National Cat Day doesn’t happen until October 29, but you have the entire month of September to pamper all the cats in your house. And you must, you absolutely must, pamper them to keep them happy.

Well, seriously, cats don’t need humans to be happy. We only need a safe place to live, food, water, toys and boxes. But, that being said, let’s talk about September and happy cats.

Mommy Let Me Surf The Web

From this website, I got a list of things you can do to help keep your cats happy.

Take Your Cat to the Vet

Mommy takes us to Dr. Ralph, but, sadly, Dr. Ralph passed away. We were very sorry to hear that. Mommy still takes us to his office, though. She keeps us healthy. And those folks that invented Happy Cat Month put the health thing front and center.

Check Your Cat’s Food

Are you using actual cat food? You should be, because real cat food is made with all of the nutrients we need. Anyway, this is a good time to do an online search to see if the food you are giving your cats is healthy.

Play With Your Cat

The best humans know how their cats like to play, and how they like to receive attention. If you have difficulty communicating with your cat, perhaps you need to spend a little time figuring this out. Just like babies, cats cry or act out for different reasons. They need food, or water, or the litter pan hasn’t been cleaned. But you may be missing a big piece of the puzzle. Maybe that acting-out cat just needs attention.

Groom Your Cat

All cats know how to keep themselves clean, but sometimes we need extra help with our shedding hair. It might help keep the fur from flying around the house, and it might keep our stummies clear of furballs.

What Else?

Buy a cheap new toy, or a new scratching pad. Find a new box. Throw a little catnip in the food. (Personally, I like that suggestion a lot.) Spend a little more time cuddle-bugging with your babies.

This is a Tiger Lily Approved Article, Especially Because I Did It Myself!

In my house, we have plenty of toys, and in the main, my cats agree with the websites that I will quote.  Toys are a great way for cats to stay healthy, both mentally and physically. My cats like balls, bells, little mousies, string, wine bottle corks, catnip-stuffed toys. But…

…My Cats’ Favorite Toys…

… are boxes. Boxes to sit inside, to sit on top of, to use as a tent, to use as a hiding place. They last until Sassy Pants decides to pee….

Other cats are more high-maintenance.

Fun For All

From this site comes a list. Of course. The toys are described, but not how the cats will play. The cats will  know how, but if you need a refresher, check the site. It’s fun!

Interactive Puzzle: Get a shoebox, your cats’ favorite toys and some treats. Cut a variety of different-sized holes in the box, fill it, and secure the lid with tape.

Feather and String: These can be purchased very inexpensively at a number of places, or you can make your own with a stick, a string, and a feather, ball or bell. This game is perfect for cats with a lot of energy.

Fetch: Play fetch with your kitten by tossing a catnip-filled toy. You might get lucky, and the toy may be returned to you!

Hide-and-Seek: A game like hide-and-seek will also unleash the predatory nature of cats. Hide behind a couch, desk, or bed. Your kitten will stalk you as though you were their prey.

Paper Bag: turn an empty, brown-paper shopping bag into a favorite toy just by laying it on its side. You can add to the fun by scratching or poking at the bag while your cat is inside.

Crumpled Paper: Crush a piece of paper into a ball that can be rolled across the floor. It’s mobile and it makes a great sound!

Laser Pointer: Any cheap laser pointed is worth hours of fun for both human and cat.

Electronic Games

Another site went digital.

YouTube Games: These are most fun with a tablet that can lie flat on a surface, allowing a cat to sit beside it or on top of it. There are several games. Inside YouTube, search “cat game with a surprise inside.”

Remote Control Car: Pet shops will have inexpensive remote control cars. Make it into a hunting game; pretend the car is a mouse.

In Closing

Experts recommend that you play with your cats two to three times per week, just to keep them alert, active and engaged.

This is a Tiger Lily Approved Way To Play.

If you don’t have a cat to hug, please don’t feel left out. Although, if you read these blogs and you don’t have a cat, you probably already feel left out. But if you do have a cat (or a few), you would know that you don’t need a special day set aside for hugging cats.

And what do cats have to say about it?

Tiger Lily

We have been worshipped for thousands of years. You’ll worship us for thousands of years more. Hugs? They’re okay, but give me a ray of sunshine any day.

Little Socks

I prefer that you let me choose, please, and I choose to sleep on your chest at night. Oh, here. Let me lower my head and tickle your face with my whiskers. What? You were sleeping?

Kali, Ko & Mo

Kali: Pick me up and put me on your shoulder. No, not that shoulder. The other one. Yes. That’s it. Pets from top of head to tip of tail, please.

Ko: Let me climb on your lap. Pet the top of my head, please.

Mo: Ignore them. Here, let me move everyone out of the way. Yes, leave your hand right there.

Sassy Pants

You see dis big spot on my tummy? Dat’s what you aims for. I turns over an squiggles on my back an you has to take your han an rubs me an tickles me on dat big spot. Right dere. Got it?

Mr. Bean

When it’s my turn for hugs, don’t even look at another cat. And you have to kiss me on the mouth. If you don’t, or if you don’t kiss me long enough, I will take my paw and move your face back. I’ve noticed how you can have two or three cats on your lap at one time, but when it’s me, it’s only me. I need all the space.

Speckles

So this is what you do. Don’t touch me. I’ll find you when I’m ready. I will find you every night and climb onto your shoulder, and then again every morning. And sometimes during the day I might come find you. But don’t touch me unless I touch you first. Then give me lots of pets on my head and back.

Moriah

Don’t pick me up. Don’t you dare.

Mattie

This is how you hug me, okay? You pick me up and put me over your left forearm and you bring your arm really close to your chest and then you let me put my paws on your right arm and you take your right hand and you pet me all however much you can reach like my head and my face and neck and shoulders and back and legs and reach over to get my tail and just walk around and keep petting me until I tell you to stop.

In Closing

If you have to be instructed on how to hug your cat, you haven’t been listening to them.

This is a Tiger Lily Approved Post. We Are To Be Adored.

My house is full of cats on every spectrum of cat age, from not-quite-a-kitten (now a human 2-year-old) to “super seniors” (defined as cats aged 15 or older).

I think we’ve mastered the How Cats Age stuff, but I will draw on several websites written by people smarter than me. The blog will end with a chart that will tell you how to define your cat in terms of human years.

And before we get into the mundane stuff of “facts,” let me just say that I love cats. I love every age of cats. I love kittens, teens, adults and geriatrics. They are all precious creatures.

Six Stages Of Aging

This site gives a short and sweet version of the six stages of aging. Cats, like humans, age at various rates depending on their health and environment. This is a general guideline. The chart at the end of the blog gives specific information about the ages of each stage.

Kitten: During the kitten stage, your cat will go through more physical and mental changes than at any other point in his life. With so much happening so quickly, it is important to focus on these things to ensure you have a well-balanced, friendly and confident adult cat:

• Nutrition: Kittens have special dietary needs. Feeding high-quality nutrient-rich kitten food is recommended to help them grow into healthy adults. Kittens can be finicky so it is recommended different textures of food be used if they stop eating a food type they previously enjoyed.
• Socialization: Exposing your kitten to different people and situations is necessary for them to grow into well-balanced adults and set a behavioral foundation. Desensitization to cars, vet exams and handling will prevent these situations from causing major stress in the future. Kittens often play rough and it is recommended to adopt them in pairs as their rough play can be too much for adult cats, dogs and humans.
• Litterbox: Kittens should be trained to use a litterbox.

Junior (reproductively mature but still growing): Just like with humans, adolescence, or the junior stage, can be a challenging time for cats. Cats reach full size and have learned about life and how to survive in their environment. Many cats in the junior stage will experience:

• Wandering: Junior cats who are not spayed/neutered have a tendency to wander as they search for a mate. Ideally, a cat is spayed or neutered as a kitten, but ensuring your cat is spayed/neutered by this stage will help prevent him from running away.
• Litterbox: Now that the cat is full grown, it is important to ensure the litterbox is the appropriate size and being used properly. Any issues with proper use of the litterbox should be addressed immediately to prevent ongoing issues in the future.

Adult or Prime: Adult cats have established their basic temperament and personality. They don’t require as much time and supervision as a kitten. Still, there are a couple important considerations for an adult cat:

• Behavior and activities: Your cat will not be quite as active as when he was a kitten, but he still needs enrichment in the form of regular exercise, mental stimulation and socialization.
• Medical needs: Adult cats benefit from yearly veterinary visits. Special attention to proper weight and dental hygiene is needed to prevent problems as they age.

Mature: Cats in the mature stage are the human equivalent of 40-50 years old. Mature cats tend to be less active than adult cats. They may need special considerations based on physical issues. Yearly veterinary exams will help identify arthritis, weight or dental issues, which are more common in mature cats.

Senior: In their golden years, cats often sleep more, eat less and are not as active. Pay attention to these special considerations:

• Medical needs: Lab work is typically done at the yearly veterinary visit. It will help the vet identify any underlying issues and maintain a baseline for your pet’s health.
• Diet: Senior cats need fewer calories and less fat. Discuss dietary changes with your veterinarian.
• Activity: Senior pets may need help getting around, especially accessing litterboxes so the height of the box may need to be adjusted. Challenges with sight and hearing are not uncommon.

Super Senior or Geriatric: Geriatric cats inevitably encounter medical issues. Veterinary exams two times a year are recommended at this stage. Keeping your pet as comfortable and healthy as possible is of upmost importance. While the geriatric stage can last years, be prepared to make difficult decisions about when it is time to say goodbye. Giving your pet the best care also means recognizing when he is suffering and putting his needs above your own to end that suffering.

The Everything Chart

I merge information from two websites, HERE and HERE that also outline the six life stages of cats.

I keep this age chart (comparing cat ages to human ages) handy all the time. It can be very illustrative.

Kitten 0 – 6 months: Your cat is full kitten, not sexually mature, and trying to process the massive amounts of information he’s taking in about the world. It’s a lot to deal with. All your kitten seems to want to do is play.

• 0-1 month 0-1 year
• 2 months 2 years
• 3 months 4 years
• 4 months 6 years
• 5 months 8 years
• 6 months 10 years

Junior or Teen 7 months – 1 year: The terrible “teens” of cat-hood. During this stage, your kitten is a full on nightmare, mouthing and grabbing at everything he can, challenging the humans in the house for dominance, and generally trying to show everyone he’s the boss of everything (an attitude he will probably maintain throughout his life, regardless of how dominant he proves to be).

• 7 months 12 years

Adult 1 year – 2 years: By one, your cat is entering adulthood and developing all kinds of lifelong cat behaviors, like kneading, hissing, and hiding. He’s calming down a little from his full-on kitten stage, but he’s still got plenty of energy. He’s learning a lot right now and settling into his cat life.

• 12 months 15 years
• 18 months 21 years
• 2 years 24 years

Prime Maturity 3 years – 6 years: From ages 3-6, your cat is in his prime. He’s learned the basics of catting and he’s settled into the personality and energy level that feel right for him.

• 3 years 28 years
• 4 years 32 years
• 5 years 36 years
• 6 years 40 years

Mature or Middle Age 7 years – 10 years: At this point, your cat has entered the kitty equivalent of middle age. He’s still got energy, but not quite as much as he did in his prime. You may notice that your cat starts to become particularly set in his ways—he might be much more resistant to any changes and might experience anxiety more often than he did in the past.

• 7 years 44 years
• 8 years 48 years
• 9 years 52 years
• 10 years 56 years

Senior 11 years – 14 years: Now, your cat is officially a senior citizen. He will likely start to experience a decline in health, including deteriorating vision and hearing and possible cognitive decline. Like older humans, your cat might be prone to “grumpiness,” and you might notice he gets irritated more easily than he used to.

• 11 years 60 years
• 12 years 64 years
• 13 years 68 years
• 14 years 72 years

Super Senior or Geriatric 15 years and older: After 15, cats are categorized as geriatric and need a lot more attention. Any behavioral changes will warrant a vet trip at this point and you can expect extreme lethargy and lots of naps.

• 15 years 76 years
• 16 years 80 years
• 17 years 84 years
• 18 years 88 years
• 19 years 92 years
• 20 years 96 years
• 21 years 100 years
• 22 years 104 years
• 23 years 108 years
• 24 years 112 years
• 25 years 116 years

In Closing

Love your cats for life.
