Also from Fanny Syufy : Provide a "Home Spa" for your senior kitty.
Imagine yourself living at a luxurious spa, where you'd receive regular manicures, facials, exercise, massage, and food designed to keep you fit. This is exactly the kind of treatment you'll want to give your senior cat, for both his physical and psychic well-being
My favourite:
Quality Together Time
Don't forget to give your senior cat plenty of petting and gentle massage. It will not only help him relax, but can help in preventing muscle atrophy cause by lack of exercise. And, of course, you'll want to spend as much quality time with him as possible in this stage of his life.
Aging is inevitable for all of us, but with loving care and close monitoring of your kitty's condition and his comfort level, you can both enjoy his golden years for many years to come.
Megat loves to be brushed and would ask for it many times during the day and night. He would also wait patiently for Toro to be brushed and when Toro is distracted, he would quickly cut in. Of course he has been smacked by Toro many times for this but he does not seem to care.
We learned from Dr O the vet acupuncturist how to stroke, knead, scrunge or run fingers along spine. It works. As long yr cat closes eyes and relaxes, it is a spa-thingy.
