Just how old is that cat, anyway?

So you want to adopt a cat, but you’re afraid of long-term commitment? An elderly cat could be just the ticket! To make sure it’s an an oldie, check for these signs.

• Exhibits wrinkles, melanomas and faded tattoos
• Keeps repeating the same “meooowwws” over and over and over
• Forgets how to use the litter box; uses your briefcase or purse instead
• Stops chasing mice, starts playing pickleball
• Complains that “kittens these days don’t know how good they have it”
• Needs a little stairway to climb the bookshelf and push breakable ornaments over the edge
