My sweet little old lady Muffin will be turning 18 early this June. She is still healthy for a cat her age and other than a bit of dementia and deafness, she can still keep up with our younger (ten years) Siamese. Because of the deafness, she tends to scream to tell us what she wants. In her early years you very rarely ever heard her meow.
I found this poem quite a few years ago and decided that my Grand Lady needed a Diamond Collar. Because of her long fur, I had to settle for a necklace so you would be able to see it. (Don't you just love Photoshop) Click for a larger view to read the poem

That necklace really suits your Lady Muffin! Cats are so much fun. They definitely have their own will!
She certainly looks like a regal old gal. That is such a lovely poem....so cat like. My cat is about 5 now and she is a total brat. Loves to play games and drive us crazy, which is kind of cool because our "old" cat Maggie who passed away several years ago was a completely different personality.

Oh, I just Love this!
She is a Dear! And So very Beautiful! It is a funny thing because the clip art you used below, the polka dotted black kitty, I used to represent my "old girl kitty'! And she was my little love too!
P.S.
I enjoyed that you shared the photos from your vacation to Egypt, I really want to go there some day!

What a pretty dear old kitty.
I love the poem and necklace.
I too had a gray long hair cat many years ago,
a Persian named Purity.

She and the necklace are so beautiful...m.
Oh my, your cat has so much character! You are fortunate to have such an old companion. My first cat lived to be 17 years old, and when she passed on, I'd lived with her, longer than any living being. She was such good company, especially when I was a young wife, and my husband worked nights. Our pets...they really do become part of the family.
Thank you Karen, for your kind comments, and for the sweet birthday greeting. I appreciate them, very much.
what a beautiful cat and a beautiful photoshopped necklace Karen! So cute how she shouts at you :)
That is so sweet Karen and your cat is beautiful!
What a lovely kitty! Still gorgeous at 18!

Oh how sweet is this?! It made me teary-eyed! My oldest cat is 17, and she still does very well (and boy can she keep her ground when our 4 yr old cat gets in her way)! =) Thank you for sharing!
