My 21-year-old cat loves canned food as a treat

[Roon]

This cat used to belong to my ex and he would feed her canned food every night. Well, I just can't afford it, but I usually give her a little of my dinner every night or a can of the tuna that I keep stocked. I had an early dinner tonight and she really didn't get anything and now she's crying and crying for a treat meal.

So I am roasting her a chicken breast. I am cooking for my cat! :crazy:

On edit:I forgot, this month she turned 22 according to my ex. :)

1. You have gone over the edge...

The cat owns you -- you know that, don't you? :-)

3. Yeah, I kinda knew

but I just wanted to confirm it!

2. You're a good person

Any cat who has loved people for 22 years deserved the best. Every day I hope my cat lives as long as that. She looks a little like yours, and she's my girlfriend. I've painted her portrait a few times, and I sleep with her every night. Be glad you've got a great old cat, and give her what she wants.

4. Yeah, she gets everything she wants

I she hates other cats so she has a little house set up by my computer with a bed and her litterbox. She spends 90% of her time on my computer desk. I eat at my computer and she demands a little of what I have.

Be happy you have a great companion, and treat her well

5. I would have guessed it would be a calico. They're real durable.

6. I thought so

A friend of mine had one that lived to be 17.

9. You know that cat owns you, right?

She's too cute!! But, she's the master!

10. She is absolutely adorable, and deserves the treats!

My ex had a beautiful cat who lived to the ripe old age of 27! You can bet she was treated like a queen.

My guys are a bit younger than that, the oldest being about 6 1/2 years old, but they definitely know when it's time for their treats (in this case Whiskas envelopes of meat in gravy or sauce). My Maine Coon devours most of it, but not after letting the two classic tabbys have their share.

13. Wow! 27!!

This cat has a lot of years left in her I think!

11. You sound like me. Except my cat isn't that venerable age. I can only

hope he lasts that long. He's not a calico..but he's my baby..and he likes Tuna too.

12. I'm just jealous

my beloved Bettina only made it to 19 (and canned cat food took a distant third to her favorites, crab and avocado)

Seriously, she's beautiful! Here's to many more years of cat care slavery.
