Getting old is rough. Your knees get creaky, your teeth become fragile, and your tail just doesn’t swish like it used to anymore. Crusty old cats, like hoomans, still get rickety with age, but instead of turning their aches and lower back pain into grandpa behavior, they turn their ailments into sass.
In true cat fashion, as they age and get older, they consequently become more ornery and spicier than ever. That’s why, when we found out that Felix, the senior cat, was turning 24-years-old this year, we expected to see the spiciest, Scoville-level kitty out there—and we were not disappointed. Although he may not hiss and he may not strike, Felix’s spice has translated into all out stubbornness, as he survives another year so that he can enjoy his favorite seasons. Basking in the sunshine and enjoying summertime walks, Felix’s grey-haired wisdom can hopefully rub off on all of us—may we all enjoy the little things this summer, especially our kitties who are clocking in at about 112-years-old in human terms.
