1. For all my life I had a wonderful kitty. NOw I miss all of them.

I am now 83 with health issues. l lost my last kitty to cancer.
Each one for the last 40 years, I enjoyed the companionship of one of these furry beast. Each of the last 4 lived to be over 12 years and gave me far more than I could do for them.
I am alone now and do not dare to adopt another. Health issues plus I am alone and if something happens to me, who cares for the kitty?
To those of you who enjoy the company of a cat, I envy you.
They are wonderful companions(except when one of them wakes you at 3AM.)
Best to you who have a furry beast to keep you company.

2. I love my kitties

Have you considered adopting an older cat?

3. Hi, yes I have considered an older cat but the same issue remains.

I have several health issues and am alone. Under medical care but now have to face a hip replacement. Couple this with heart problems, the future scars me. At 83, things are worrisome.
Who will know what happens to me and can take the kitty if I don't make it?
Who will know?
Yes, I miss the kitties I have had thru the years and keep the memories strong.
