He was once a ferocious hunter, wrist-gutter, and bird decapitater. Now he spends all day asleep on his heated pad next to the rad, being adored by my mum.
ETA: most viral, yay! I’ll tell Hobbes and my mum. Neither will understand, but I’ll tell them. Send cat pics :)
ETA2: he visits the vet regularly. They are making him comfortable.

This is an angel made of love. He knows he's loved, he is happy. Bless you all.

The old warrior home from the fray. He deserves him sleepy warm times. A warm ray of sunshine and a kind hand....I'd settle for that.

Handsome sweet fellow. But ou may want to have a vet see him. I'm a vet tech and he seems to be putting a lot of effort into his breathing.

I had a cat that lived 21 yrs. Bad MF. In his prime, dogs ran scared. Rabbits/birds were toast. But loved people. RIP Big Boy. Miss you

That’s a good boy

I had a cat named Hobbes. Sadly, he didn't make it beyond 7. Give him scritches from California.

Wise whiskers, weathered soul - this kitty's seen more sunsets than most of us ever will. Respect the elder statesman of the feline world.

His breathing looks terrible. You should check his gum colour and go to a vet. Struggling for air is horrible.
yeahilikestuff
He’s at the vet quite often.
jukicat8512
Has he a heart condition? My cats breathing looked the same before the medication.

I love him. Tell your mother she's a good human.

Have a 19 yr old . Suggest your mum might give him cosequin to help with stiff joints and aches. Love is all you need.

Old mammals have lower energy levels. He just wants to take a nap.

Same with my 15 year old girl. Vets say she's healthy for her age but she looks more ragged by the day,bless her.

May he live another 17

The world's oldest cat did!

Slip the word "healthy" in there and I agree.

My cat lived to be 23. She was 3 years older then my parents marriage.
awesomecat42
Well, the oldest cat on record died at 38 years, so it's not impossible!
LiterallyAwesome

I remember seeing her on Ripley's Believe It Or Not hosted by Dean Cain, but in fairness, I believe her 38 years was wind-assisted.
hertta
Wind-assisted? what??
awesomecat42
Wind-assisted? You mean like in track? I don't think that's how age works.
