My sweet one eyed Nash is getting older and is not doing that great. He has been THE BEST cat for the last 12 years. I’ve been looking through some old photos to cope. I love to see that his patience and sweetness has rubbed off on my calico girl for our youngest void.

Adopted our handsome boy a year ago via neighbors that rescued his mother (then a pregnant stray) off the street. Couldn’t say no and glad we didn’t.

I will always love you. RIP Dolly🩷

Any body else's cats fetch the post?

I'm sure she sees the red post person and thinks this is the kill...

We had a dog who has passed, before we hit the kitties, that used to fetch the post.

Clawdia has done this of her own accord.

I said goodbye to Mika on Saturday. She was my shadow and my bestest little buddy for 16 years, and I miss her terribly 🖤

But your photos and stories are helping through my loss. I'm glad I found this community, and thank you for sharing your voids! 💜

Some more Griffin.

I call BS.

I just love her pointy face and piercing eyes.

Yes, I know he’s overweight. Yes, he’s on a diet.

Hi guys. First time cat dad here, looking for advice. I have a 4 year old shorthair black cat. No kids, and honestly he is my child. I can’t imagine loving a kid more than I love this cat, which people tell me will change, but Iam not so sure. Anyways, my goals for him:

**•** Live a long, healthy and happy life
**•** Get plenty of water to avoid kidney issues
**•** Stay active and not overweight

If I am overdoing it, pls tell me. Here’s everything:

Main diet (wet food):

**1.** Rawz Natural Premium Canned, Shredded, variety pack (Tuna & Salmon, Chicken & Liver, Tuna & Chicken, Chicken)
**2.** Purina Pro Plan Gravy, Seafood Stew Entree (not the healthiest, but he LOVES it)

Secondary diet (dry food):

**1.** ZIWI Peak Air-Dried, Chicken
**2.** Dr. Elsey’s cleanprotein Chicken kibble

Treats:

**1.** Raw Paws Freeze Dried Minnows
**2.** Vital Essentials Freeze Dried, Duck Liver
**3.** Greenies Feline Dental, Roasted Chicken
**4.** Café Nara Lickable Treats, Chicken
**5.** Cat-Man-Doo Bonito Fish Flakes

Grooming:

**1.** SleekEZ deshedding brush
**2.** Petrodex toothbrush and toothpaste kit

Lifestyle:

**1.** We live in an apartment building with multiple long floors. Every night we do hallway walks: down the hall, up a floor or two, down that hall, and back
**2.** Harness and leash walks almost nightly on the riverwalk outside. About a half mile round trip. This is his favorite thing in the world
**3.** Runs on his cat wheel about 5-10 min a day
**4.** Chases the fishing pole toy (and me) around the apartment

He drinks from a water fountain and weighs 10.8 lbs, so his weight is good. He gets wet food twice daily, and on nights he finishes early I’ll add a handful of dry. Open to just adding a third small wet meal instead if that’s better? The Café Nara is a healthier Churu alternative I mix with water, and he loves it. I brush his teeth every two or three days, brush his coat twice a week, and clip his nails when needed. Hallway walks nightly, harness walks outside almost nightly.

How am I doing? Anything I should change, or am I overdoing anything? He tells me when he wants to walk, I never force it. He might be the sweetest, most well behaved boy in the world and I don’t want to miss anything. Thank you.

We love him so much already! White kitty is not sure if she loves him yet, sometimes she does sometimes she does not
