I know my 19 year old cat can't live forever. But it is surprising how tough cats can be. Last year my cat had an operation for malignant cancer. The Vet got it all, she came through with flying colours, and she is gaining weight. She can easily jump up on the kitchen counter. (Not that I want her to!) My dogs both really like the cat. She and my little dog sleep an inch apart. He will be lost without her.

This isn't a picture of my cat, but I thought I'd post it anyway! It's one of my favourites.
