Seven whaaaaah?! Actually I'm not sure about what a cat's lifetime isDennisN said:A he. A 17 year old he.
.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.Psinter said:Is that young? I got no sense of age here. He looks young. He also looks very well taken care of.![]()

I got him when he was a couple of months old.Psinter said:Did you have him since he was a baby?
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.Psinter said: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?
