A sweet lil anniversary for the ages

My handsome prince aka My grumpy old man aka The man of the household aka Scott just celebrated his 14th anniversary of being a part of my family today. Who’s gotta put up with 3 girls cats and 1 girl cockatiel.
Scott and his late brother (by cat adoption) Fritz (a red point siamese) had their 15 minutes of fame at 10 months old on a local news channel. Only thing I’d never do again would be getting a pet before halloween (or any huge holiday).
I’m not sure how much longer he is gonna be around. Thought we’d have to put him down a few years ago due to his bad knee turned into a bad hip problem. (he looks drunk when he walks). But he still likes to jump from the ground to the ottoman (where his bed is). He is now slowly going blind and deaf. But the brain is fine. Getting old is not fun at all. :frank4:
I thought for sure that he wasn’t gonna last the move, but so far so good. I take every day for granted as he was the 1st one out of the kennels (the 3 girls weren’t interested). It may take him some time but he does go up and down the huge flight of stairs in the new place, but the food/the main litterbox is on the floor his bed is on. I’d rather see this guy moving around then sleeping for 23 and a half hours a day.
We celebrated with a tin of tuna fish. (I had a tuna sandwich for lunch and the cats got the clean the tin and had the juice.)

Aww, it’s always hard to think of how long a pet is going to live much longer or not.
Aww, what a cute cat! Hehe! 14 is an impressive age!
I just wanna give him a hug, not that he would accept it ’cause cats take a long time to warm up to new folks, mostly.
Pets, so sweet, so loving, so sad they don’t live as long as we do.
My thoughts are more than with you.
Having to decide whether a pet still has enough quality of life left, I hate that. It feels like you have to play God a little. I recently had to have my guinea pig put to sleep because she couldn’t eat properly anymore (throat tumor) and was slowly starving to death. So sad. But I hope your kitty gets to enjoy many more years of old age! He’s still looking good, that’s for sure.
Aww, he is cute, and you have had him a long time.
We had our first cat for 13 years, but we had to have him put down 2 years ago at Halloween. If only pets lived a bit longer as they are part of the family.
