Where is the link to the pictures? I didn't see it in either of Catnipped's

Thanks,

LOL, good one. :)

Good point and something I have started to think about (approaching 50
seems to have had this effect on me) I have to face that if we are
blessed and our Fabulous Furballs reach 20, which we both hope I will
be 66 and Dave 63 (Yeah he's a toyboy). At that point, I think we
could realistically look to home an older cat (always wanted to do but
somehow there's always been kittens needing homes- when we had the 3
days between losing Isis and calling Belinda, a woman I was working
with and enquiring whether she had found homes for the 5 kittens that
semi feral had in her garden shed- I knew Dave was ready when I came
home (2 days after losing Isis and swearing about having a few months
off before getting more cats) and looking at special needs older cats
including FIV+ but as I say those kittens would have been sold to a
pet shop if we hadn't been there)

Even when I am very old (if I make it that far) I'll volunteer/foster
at a local shelter

Of course if I am old and do have cats I have already got my neice to
agree she will retrieve them and take care of them, the idea being
that I should be able to leave a modest sum to the CPL on the
condition any cats are rehomed or fostered but not PTS unless a valid
vet reason exists

I need to sort that out with CPL at some time...just like I need to
make a will....creepy....at the moment, although under UK law
everything would go to my brothers and I trust both of them to fulfill
my request and give it all to Dave (apart from my private pension,
which already has him as the nominated person) but I guess..

Another thing to think about at 50!

This is certainly an issue with parrots. Don't they live up to 80 years?

Shortly after we got Kayla, I realized she will probably be our last puppy.
I was sixty and Charlie was seventy.  And it really makes me sad to know it
is unlikely she will live as long as our toy poodles did.

That means that five dogs will last us a lifetime.  Willie lived almost
twenty years.  Brandie only seven, but her two pups lived close to eighteen
years.

I kind of doubt we will ever get another kitten.  There will likely be more
young adult cats in our future, but probably not kittens.

I've thought about that, and when I adopted Caliban I knew in my mind
that this is the last kitten I will ever have. If I'm still able to care
for a cat when Mir and Caliban are gone, I will probably adopt an older
cat or two.
