How about some senior cat love and appreciation? They may be older, but they will forever be kittens at heart!
The helpful Vancouver Vet is back with a series of 3 videos showing some really simple things you can do at home to make your older cat's life just a little bit more comfortable. We now present you part of of 3. To be continued...
Yesterday's Print is a cool page on tumblr which presents a collection of weird and funny old photographs, historic newspaper clippings and baffling headlines taken from the past. We have compiled the best ones concerning animals.
All three videos are more than a century old and they are actually the oldest known video footage of various animals.
This generosity makes our hearts as warm as a kitten in a knitted blanket.
Old is Gold!
There are few things more heartbreaking than seeing an elderly canine shivering in the unfamiliar confines of a shelter or watching an old dog being callously dropped off at a pound because its owner no longer wants it. But, sadly, it happens every day. For many of these elderly dogs, the stop at the shelter will be the end of the line. Most potential adopters are looking for a puppy or a very young canine, not a graying senior. Thankfully, though, there are a few angels in the world — people like Steve Greig — who purposefully seek out senior dogs for adoption. Via: The Dodo

At the sunset of his life, 21-year-old cat Tigger was abandoned by his human at a local veterinary surgery. Sad and confused, he couldn't understand why. But then Adriene Nicole came along. Nicole saw his story on the Canton Neighbors page and decided to take him home. She wanted to give him the love he needed.
Sadly, Nicole soon discovered that Tigger had kidney failure and a golf ball-sized tumor. But it didn't hold Nicole back. Tigger's story just shows how amazing it is to adopt a geriatric pet and give them the best remaining days!
Nutmeg, the tabby, could soon be given the title of "Oldest Cat in the World". She doesn't seem all that thrilled about it, though...
