The number of cats has gone from 12 to 5.

 I used to have a multi-cat household with 12 cats.

They were all senior cats over 15 years old—at an age where it wouldn’t have been surprising if any of them had passed away at any moment.

Gradually, they all began to grow frail, and last year, six of them passed away.

This year, one cat passed away, so now there are five left in my home.

I don’t plan on getting any more cats.

I’m getting older myself, so there’s a chance I might pass away before my cats do, and that would be

unfair to them.

I intend to take good care of the five cats I have left and stay by their side

until their very last moments.

Let’s live a long life together!!
