Here's a picture of my cuddle buddy this afternoon at the shelter. Her name is autumn, she's 15, and still has a lot of love. It got me thinking, on some level, the wise senior cats have to know that at a shelter they can't compete with the kittens which everybody wants.
I see a lot of cats that are eight or nine years old with someone for their entire life, and then given up for whatever reason. It breaks my heart to see them so depressed, it's so incredibly rewarding to give them love and then watch them come around. They get so tickled that someone would even think to give them attention.
So that got me thinking, do you think senior cats have a greater appreciation of what you do? I feel like when you take in a cat that’s maybe eight or nine years old, they know on some level that you rescued them. That you saved them.
