How I envy the cat

This is Max. He is about 15 years old; it is hard to be exact with a rescue cat. Max has cataracts, kidney problems and very stiff joints. He thumps down the stairs like an extra in 1950's horror movie

We also suspect that if cats canbe senile he is. He will cry for food and we have to shake his bowl to remind him about eating when hungry. Yet he is incredibly content, amazingly affectionate and adored by us all. Interestingly his sister Izzie who is from the same litter and completely neurotic is absolutely healthy. The only person she has time for is the anti social teenage son.
