Photograph of my black longhair cat Newt laying on a purple tartan blanket, which is partially covering a left leg visible from the calf down. The leg's foot is wearing 2 socks, 1 black & 1 grey, with the black sock visible approx 2" above/under the grey sock. The gray sock has wear damage to its heel & you can see the black sock underneath between the fraying gray material. Newt is lounging along the length of the leg's shin & his fluffy tail is laid across the leg's calf. He is looking straight at camera. All of this is taking place on an orange-brown leather sofa in front of a milk chocolate brown-painted wall.

i watched Newt drag this leg from a skip in the street, through the park railings & into the house.

Photograph of my 18yo shaggy-haired black cat Newt sleeping on his side, stretched out in an arch, his sun&piss-bleached brown belly exposed, back legs & tail stretched out straight & together, his front paws bent away from his body & crossed left over right. He is sleeping on a purple, white & blue tartan James Pringle Weavers woolen blanket systematically destroyed by him over the years.

Sleeping so soundly & so very deeply, Newt's breathing is undetectable. At 18 he's perfected his JFC I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD sleep mode. The only reason i know he's still with us & just blissed out is the odd fart.

A picture of me cuddling my sleeping cat.

Day 5 of at home IV treatment. He's having some bowel issues tonight. My husband doesn't think it will be much longer for this little guy 💔 #seniorcat

It's the final 30 seconds of Friday night, #Shylo and I are relaxing. Caturday #Saturday begins as EVERY day begins, with her first feeding at midnight. Shylo streaks like an orange laser to her midnight snack.

Trying out the new-to-me #Hasselblad Stellar. I haven't had a point-and-shoot in yeeeears. I still need to learn the menus but it may be good as a pocket-sized camera.

Hmm, I wonder who this fuzzy brown tail belongs too? 💕 #seniorcat #catsofbluesky

Seriously guys, if you need a good companion to help you weather these hard times, I cannot recommend adopting a senior cat more. At this point he's my Sam Gamgee. "There's still some good in this world Mr. Frodo...and it's worth fighting for."

Photo of me cuddling my sleeping cat. I was crying right beforehand, Oliver jumped up and started snuggling me as if to say "I'm not gone yet!" 😅 I told Oliver that I expect him to "send us" the next cat that needs our love and that I trust him to choose well. Somebody has to take care of us idiots, right? ☺️

It's a little weird to cry about him being gone when he's still here but I'm cherishing every heartbeat, every purr and every meow. I'm thankful it hurts so much because it means he has been so deeply loved and has made a huge impact on our lives. #seniorcat #catsofbluesky

Enjoying what little time is left with my perfect cat son, Oliver. It's hard not to cry all the time 😅 I know the old boy is tired. I'm soaking in all the snuggles before it's time to say goodbye 💔 #seniorcat #caysofbluesky
