Thanks, he is and always has been a good mate. We are both growing old and grumpy together now. He's fifteen.
I think he always was very conscious of his good looks, especially his four white feet. He was guaranteed to turn heads when he sat on the wall in the front garden of our previous house, but I used to dread it if people came up to him as he doesn't like being touched very much, and was not unknown to take a swipe at people if they took a liberty.
When we sold the house there was an open day for viewing. Me and Mrs Roofless sat around in a cafe most of the day, but obviously Buddy had to stay at home. When we got back I was most gratified to learn that had bitten the estate agent.
Although not overly playful, he is very vocal, and appreciates a good conversation when you enter the room. Never fails to say 'Owdo' when he comes through the catflap. And, he is scrupulously clean. Right from a kitten, he has not once slipped up inside the house in all these years.
He is in almost all the time now, but we have some quiet and sunny patios where he likes to sun himself in the summer. As you can see, he is starting to have trouble keeping all that fur in good order. He gets back pain and just can't get round to groom it himself. He is, however, showing signs of accepting some help with the brush, but still very wary when you work towards his flanks.
We'll miss him when he goes.
Sounds like you're subconsciously willing him dead!I think he always was very conscious of his good looks, especially his four white feet.

A lot of cats make it to ~20 now. He should have a few years left. Just load him up on Dreamies and it'll be all good.
