A catless writer is almost inconceivable. Its a perverse taste, really, since it would be easier to write with a herd of buffalo in the room than even one cat; they make nests in the notes and bite the end of the pen and walk on the typewriter keys. ~Barbara Holland 10 Reasons Senior Cats Rule 1. When senior cats are adopted, they seem to understand that they’ve been rescued, and are all the more thankful for it. 2. A senior cat’s personality has already developed, so you’ll know if he or she is a good fit for your family. You can teach an old cat new tricks (I do every day with my own cats!): 3. Senior cats have the attention span and impulse control that makes them easier to train than their youthful counterparts. 4. A senior cat may very well already know basic household etiquette (like not attacking your feet at night) anyway! 5. In particular, senior cats are often already litter trained and are less likely to “forget” where the box is. 6.

Senior cats often know that scratching posts (not furniture) are for scratching and toys (not hands or feet) are for biting. 10. Senior cats are some of the hardest to find homes for — so when you adopt a senior cat, you’re truly saving a life. Attack your week, my friends! (Playfully.)

Be in touch if you are looking :) Here is a great page that talks about the benefits of reaching an older cat! Think...
