One of my cats is getting on a bit. She's a really nice cat, good coat, good temperament. She must be about 12 now, and it's starting to show. She hardly jumps anymore and has to take the stairs one at a time. She did catch a bird the other day though. It's sad when animals get old...

My cat Pippin is about 7.
Hes lovely. I often wake up with him lying by my face looking at me.
And he jumps about a lot.

I've had six cats in total and 2 of them have died at a very young age. I had four girls and two toms.

So true. I lost my 12 year old dog, Holly, two days before my 18th birthday. Probably the worst day of my life, since I couldn't remember her ever NOT being there.
It would have been even worse, but she wasn't herself for the last 3 months of her life since she had a brain tumour. The last week, she was struggling to breathe.
It broke my heart when she looked into my eyes as the vet injected her with the overdose of anasthetic and the pain just seemed to slip away.

It's really bad when you see a neurotic animal. I'll tell you a story if you want...

Same as me. We got the dog 3 months after me and she died when I was 14. She was a nice dog. I learnt how to walk using that dog. I'd hold onto her as she walked around the house and I'd learn how to walk by it.
Still got 3 dogs now.
One's 14, so she's only got a little time left. One's 7 and a half, she's starting to get old but is always up for a good ruck if you really annoy her. I'll sit there slapping her around the face and she'll try and bite me (proper bite) when she get's really pisssed off!
And we've got the little 'puppy' although she's nearly 2 now. She's still a puppy. Hopefully though, we'll have some puppies from her within a couple of years.
The cat is ~about~ 12. she's rescued so we don't really know. When we first got her she was soooooo scared. She just hid upstairs all day. Now she's come a long way from that. She sleeps with the dogs sometimes (don't be immature!) and she'll come over to anybody now for a 'cuddle.' And she doesn't run away when you get near her anymore!

I don't think I could do that, I wouldn't want t forget about my dog, and if I bought a new one, I think I would probably forget sooner. I won't let that happen.
Some of you will remember me posting here when my cat Buster died.
October 2nd, 2001. Stuck in my head as permanently as my own birthday.
He was about 13, but it wasn't the old age that got him - it was Feline Lymphoma - or cancer.
I still miss him, still haven't replaced him, and still get teary-eyed when I think about him.
If you're an animal lover, it can be a real tough time losing a pet who's been around for so long, and it can be difficult to replace them.
But then there are those who just go out and buy another almost straight away. Personally, I don't see how they do it - but it doesn't mean that they loved their pet any less.
Hope you have several more happy years yet.

I don't think i could leave my dog in a kennel. I would worry about her too much.
