Had a visitor yesterday. With Ember passing and Dexter more or less conceding half the property.....
Affectionate kitty. She bites after you stop patting her though.
Dexter's failing at being a cat. Getting old. Patrol his territory or sleep on heat pad hmmnn.

As with humans, cats reach the age where they decide that they're retired. I quit arguing with Maddy over the table beside the one where my computer is that I'm typing on right now. She wants to be close to me and if she wants to nap on the table, it means I won't accidentally step on her on the floor.
Plus it's more convenient for treats. I keep a bowl of water handy so she doesn't have to go to the kitchen for a drink.
And then there's the ultimate convenience of whenever she wants to cuddle, I'm just 6 inches away. Of course that makes typing a bit awkward...

Dexter's retirement.
Super affectionate he's not good at lap sitting though struggles with the concept

Maddy's behavior now veers between sleeping to the point of not being aware of anything but her dreams (she has active dreams, going by all the twitching and other motions), or waking up at the slightest sound.
I just had to apologize to her for accidentally waking her up.
She's purring at the moment, so I might be forgiven.

Well he had 12 years of female cat he didn't like so tended to sit elsewhere.
He can't quite put 2 and 2 together for long term lap sitting. He's gradually getting on us more or on the bed even.
Had him 13 years in December was full grown age 1-2 apparently when we adopted him.

Got the new kittens fixed last month and the one we thought was female evidently wasn't.

It's usually fairly easy to tell. Just lift up the tail and look.
Reminds me of the time I went to City Hall to get my grandmother's dog license renewal done. The clerk at the counter demanded to see proof of neutering, and I tried to explain that the paperwork had been lost since his original license went through, and in any case he hadn't exactly been our dog at the time (we adopted him from my great-uncle).
She started carrying on about the paperwork, claiming that maybe he wasn't actually neutered (this mattered because the fee was lower for neutered/spayed dogs). I told her she had the records from before when we had been able to show the paperwork from the vet, but if she still wanted to see proof, I could always just bring the dog in, hoist him up on the counter and she could have a look for herself.
She made a disgusted facial expression, took my money, and stamped the papers. Tuffy was legal for another year.

I fostered a cat for 2 weeks, all that cute heavenly thing did was hide under a toilet. I loved Otto.

One of my cats likes to lay down on top of my chest when I go to bed at night. He stays for about 5 minutes then leaves. While he's on my chest though he tends to put his paw on my mouth if I don't constantly pet him. It's hilarious but not when I want to fall asleep fast. LOL

One of the new ones likes sleeping in the litter box. We think it's because the closest thing thing they had to beds in their cages at the shelter were litter boxes.

It might be best to break them of that. Normally a cat that lays in the litter box is sick. It happened to one of mine; he just lay there, unable to urinate. Turned out he was one of the cats who couldn't tolerate fish/high-ash content in his diet. The urine had crystallized inside him.
Fortunately we got him to the vet in time. Some cats die from that.

That cat i rescied two years ago....
Stoney is now basically an indoor kitty. He's gone back to the school twice and has been inside since.
He's got a GPS collar now. He just loves wandering he originated few doors down and was dumped by his previous owners. SiL lives 1.5 kilometers away and there's a school behind us roughly halfway to his new home.
He's been on Facebook lost and found several times lol. He spent more time scrounging at the school and sleeping in the locker room than at someone's house.

Got it. Haven't noticed any health issues so far, but I'll talk to my mom about that.

Dexter had a vet visit today. He has been hissing occasionally and was due for his yearly shots.
13 years anniversary on December 28th. He was full grown when we got him. I think he's at least 14 msmay be 15 (kitten season Spring 2009 I suspect).
He spent a few weeks at the SPCA looking at his old vet book. Went to vet early December 2010.
Vet gave us an anti inflammatory may have hurt his leg or a bit of arthritis.
He mooched on the vet. She couldn't find anything wrong and said he is in great shape for his age. Still physically active eg playing, catching birds but slowing down.
