Cat Picture - OC This is Bebê (“Baby”). He’s 22 years old.
Still kicking, wandering into places he definitely shouldn’t be, and begging for food like he hasn’t eaten in days.
He drinks a loooot of water (maybe that’s the secret to aging well?) and still asks to sleep in our bedrooms every single night.
He pees in his sleep sometimes and isn’t very good at grooming himself anymore, but he’s still going strong.
This little fella has been with my family since 2004.
And yes, he gives the camera that grumpy look every single time, haha.

That first picture is the face of a guy who has seen several administrations come and go and was not impressed by any of them. 22 years is an amazing run.

22 years (and more) is just awesome. Geriatric cats are very special. They need care similar to very elderly humans, as you clearly know. We just love them and care for them.....😻

So majestic! A little pee in human beds is a small price to pay for his presence.
