17 Years of Sass: Meet My Furry Roommate

Ever lived with a senior citizen who ignores your existence unless you’re holding food? That’s my roommate, Luna—a 17-year-old cat with more attitude than most people I know. She’s survived three apartments, one heartbreak (mine), and a global pandemic, all while napping like it’s her job. Her hobbies include: glaring at the vacuum, demanding breakfast at 4am, and pretending she doesn’t hear me when I call her. She’s not the cuddliest, but when she decides to curl up next to me, it feels like winning the lottery. Sometimes I wonder who’s taking care of whom. But honestly, I wouldn’t trade her grumpy old lady vibes for anything. Here’s to Luna, the queen of side-eye and my favorite living antique. Anyone else got a pet who’s basically immortal? #Pets #Cats #SeniorCat

Sunrise Routine with My Senior Cat Boss

Every morning, my 18-year-old cat (yes, she’s ancient and yes, she knows it) demands her sunrise check-in. I’m not a morning person, but Cookie—her name, not her diet—has zero respect for human sleep schedules. She sits by the window, staring at the horizon like she’s waiting for the universe to explain itself. I bring her breakfast (she sniffs, judges, and sometimes eats), and we watch the world wake up together. She purrs. I yawn. We both pretend this is normal. There’s something weirdly comforting about starting the day with a creature who’s seen more sunrises than most people I know. She’s grumpy, she’s wise, and she’s the reason I haven’t slept in since 2006. But honestly? Wouldn’t trade these mornings for anything. Anyone else have a pet who runs the household like a tiny, furry CEO? #Pets #Cats #SeniorCat

Meet My Roommate: A 16-Year-Old Cat

So, I just moved in with a senior citizen. She’s got arthritis, questionable teeth, and a serious side-eye game. Her name is Miso, she’s 16, and she’s been living at the shelter longer than some people keep jobs—six years. When I first met her, she ignored me completely. I respect that. But the shelter staff looked at me like I was a superhero for even considering her. Honestly, I just couldn’t leave her there another day. Now, our evenings are spent negotiating over the best spot on the couch and sharing awkward silences. She snores louder than my last roommate, but her purrs are worth it. Adopting a senior cat isn’t glamorous. It’s not Instagram-perfect. But every time she headbutts my hand, I know I made the right call. Give the oldies a chance—you might just find your new best friend. #AdoptDontShop #SeniorCat #PetRescue #Pets #Cats

We Gave a Grumpy Old Cat a Second Chance

So, my partner and I decided to skip the kitten chaos and go straight for the senior citizen section at the shelter. Enter: Doug. He’s 13, has more attitude than most people I know, and his hobbies include napping, glaring, and ignoring expensive toys. Adopting an older pet isn’t exactly the Instagram dream—no tiny paws or zoomies. But Doug’s slow blinks and raspy purrs hit different. He’s seen things. He’s over the drama. And honestly, we kind of love that. It’s wild how quickly a grumpy old cat can become the center of your universe. If you’re thinking about adopting, don’t sleep on the seniors. They might just surprise you (and take over your favorite chair). Welcome home, Doug. You’re weird, you’re wise, and you’re officially family. #AdoptDontShop #SeniorCat #PetRescue #Pets #Cats
