It is old. If he was a human, he would be about 70-80 years old. He gets special food due to kidney problems, which is common in old cats, and the special food combined with the old age, makes them a bit smaller and thinner than normal. But he is a great and very affectionate cat.
:bugeye: That is a lot of years. Send him a hug from me!

Did you have him since he was a baby?

I have seen many kittens opening an closing their fingers like that. I wonder why they do it. Does your cat also do that? Or is that something only babies do?

I got him when he was a couple of months old.

Yes, my cat does that too, when he is relaxed and when I touch him, like in the animation you posted. It is called kneading (wiki article: Kneading) and there are different hypotheses why they do it.

The German word for it is "milk-kick". That always made perfect sense to me.

Cats have an evil streak, not just because they are highly evolved predators but because of things like this.

one of these is a kitten I think, its also a demonstration that upright walking is not off the table for cats as the next evolutionary step.

Sadly, last month marked the exit of our two cats. The Abyssinian had been very sick for at least two years, but modern medicine kept him alive until he passed 16. The other one, a Norwegian Forest, had been sort of silent and sleepy for some time. We put it down to age, but X-rays showed a tumor on the lungs...

Anyway, here is the new cat in residence. He is a Korat and at 15 weeks still a kitten.

Looks to me like the special fragrance is shared all around. It's just that some of it has a distinctly crotchy musk, and some of it carries the pungency of the bum.
