She didn't expect to stay with her new pet for long, but the old cat is still alive and thriving nearly two years later It's the sweetest thing!
Go, Roxanne! I love seeing old animals wreaking havoc, just like a child. It's perfect proof that older pets can be just as fun, silly, and affectionate as younger pets! My 13-year-old cockatiel is still as mischievous as the day we rescued him, and I know there are countless other pet parents who can say .the same thing about their fur babies, What a gift it is to care for them throughout their lives!
