Old Cat Progress

Tinkerbell is very old. We're not sure how old she is, but we do know she was an adult before we moved here and that was 12 or so years ago. She didn't handle last summer well and we were afraid this summer might be her last.

However, this year she's doing pretty well. My roommate has changed up how the cats get their food and she's eating a lot better. Her fur looks healthy. She's interactive and emotionally connected with both of us. She spends a lot of the day either in his room looking out the window or hanging out with me. At night, she's sleeping in his room again.

Summer can be difficult on kitties. Keeping the temperature decent is necessary, but it's important to make sure the cats thrive in other ways too. Right now, despite her age, Tinkerbell seems to be thriving.
