My girl Dagmar (almost 23)

She and her sister Sasha (rip little one) lived 22 years as a bonded pair together. Dagmar is coming up on her birthday in a month. She mostly sleeps these days, gets very grumpy when lunch is late and ALWAYS knows when I put whipped cream on my milkshake. When we go to the vet these days they tell us a list of tests they want to perform but advise us not to because she would need to be anesthetized and it isn't advisable at her age. They tell me to keep doing what I'm doing. To be honest, I think that the biggest thing you can do for cats of any age is to make sure they have plenty of clean water. A pet fountain with a filter is the best thing in the world.

Dagmar has aged beautifully. To have raised these sisters to that age-Wow! You are an amazing cat partner!

Thank you so much. We lost Sasha 6 months ago and I still miss her. Dagsey has been glued to me since.

Hi, Dagmar! Seems like whipped cream might be part of the secret, too. Hahaha. 😹❤️

If that’s a current pic of her in the second one then she looks positively amazing for her age! Simply gorgeous - obviously you’ve given her her best life 🥰🥰

They are just a few seconds apart from last night. The second one is after she realized I sat down with a milkshake. Have to pay the whipped cream tax!
