Comments on: At What Age Is A Cat Considered To Be Old? http://www.catfactfiles.com/at-what-age-is-a-cat-considered-to-be-old/ Everything You Need To Know About Cats Sun, 05 Sep 2010 17:06:27 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Karl Schmitt http://www.catfactfiles.com/at-what-age-is-a-cat-considered-to-be-old/comment-page-1/#comment-6900 Karl Schmitt Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:18:11 +0000 http://www.catfactfiles.com/?p=12#comment-6900 My name is Karl and I live in Albuquerque, NM and I have two 10 year old tabbies Cory and Simon. They are brother and sister and are a great source of joy to me. My question is do I need to start integrating food for senior cats into their diets? My vet says that I should, but would like to have another opinion. My cats are strictly indoor cats so they are not subjected to all the diseases that are outdoors, can I assume that they will live much longer than the average cat? Also, my female cat Cory likes to jump on tables which I don't want. What is the best way to handle getting her off and getting her out of the habit of jumping on tabels? I realize that some cats are jumpers and I do allow them to jump on chairs, couches, and window sills, but Cory seems to do it all the time, but Simon does not. I have tried just picking her up and putting her on the floor, being firm with my voice, but nothing seems to help her from jumping on the tables. I personally think she does it because she wants me to pet her and when I do 10 minutes later she is back on the table again.

As they got older...they stayed by my side constantly.And then all of a sudden..wanted to go outside...something they had never done before. I read later that they were looking for their place to die. I had two cats who both lived 21yrs.
