High Empress of Dressing Up
How long do kittens stay playful? Tim just can’t get enough playtime, he loves all his (many, many) toys so much he can’t wait to see them whenever he comes back to the living room. It’s such a joy.
He also loves his carrying sling. Lately after we do some pottering around the house in it, I’ve been taking him into the garden. I sit in the sun and hold him in the bag. He is totally chilled out just looking around at all the new outdoor sights and sounds and smells. I sing to him quietly. It’s also an utter joy.

If you’re lucky he’ll always be like that! Two of mine were. One, admittedly, was brain damaged from a difficult birth (Mouchicha), and never tired of chasing her tail. The other was just permanently daft (Emmy). I just found an old pic of her being so:

Depends a lot on the individual, Radar stayed an utter nightmare (loved him dearly but OMG he was exhausting sometimes) in terms of his energy level and playfulness right up until he died when he was 13, others start to chill out a bit once they are over a year old.
I love that you have a carrying sling for him, my Sonic would have loved that, wish I'd done it. It would have left my arms free when I was carrying him around

Sling time today (he doesn’t like the bright sunshine though, so we had to come in because I got tired of shading him).Depends a lot on the individual, Radar stayed an utter nightmare (loved him dearly but OMG he was exhausting sometimes) in terms of his energy level and playfulness right up until he died when he was 13, others start to chill out a bit once they are over a year old.

He’s taken to sleeping under things (currently the sofa, but also the credenza and last night squeezed between the bottom of the mattress and the top of the storage boxes. Weirdo.

Btw, he looks really grown up, doesn’t he?
This was about 10 minutes earlier.
He is getting big but still quite kitteny really, right?

one of my neighbours' previous kittehs was out chasing leaves one autumn day a few years ago and died of a heart attack
i can't remember now if she was just over or just coming up to 20, so potentially a few years yet

Pretty good way to go for an elderly cat - having fun and sudden end, better than many of the alternatives.
Sounds like she had a good life

she did - next door is run for the convenience of the resident kitteh/s
they had another cat (she was less adventurous and rarely ventured further than the end of their doorstep) who nearly reached her 25th birthday (don't think i have any pictures of either of them - was before i had a decent camera phone)
current resident kitty is 14 and still occasionally chases dogs off the premises (there's a footpath along the edge of the communal garden)

So displeased!

spelling is overrated
I get this everyday from 3.30 on. These cobbed looks, the yowling, the paw of remembrance with the claws digging in a little bit sharper every time. I refuse to feed him before 4.30. He tries it on every day and would push mealtime earlier by an hour everyday if I didn't hold firm.
And he has dried food in his bowl if he actually went and looked!

i seem to remember the phrase 'dripping with disdain' was used to describe a kitty here a while ago
that one's quite a good illustration

I have asked Jakey and he confirms that every day is International Cat Day.
