According to\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/icatcare.org\/advice\/elderly-cats-special-considerations\/#:~:text=In%20recent%20years%2C%20feline%20ages,their%20age%20in%20human%20terms.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Cat Care<\/a>, cats are elderly once they reach 11 years with senior cats defined as those aged between 11 &#8211; 14 and geriatric cats 15 years and upwards. My Zoey has been a senior for a couple of years now, but I&#8217;ve never considered her a senior. With today her 13th birthday, she continues to astound me because, with her, nothing has mellowed with age. If anything, all of her behaviors have intensified over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Her meows, already piercing with their bleeping, yelping yowl sound have become so loud you can hear her outside. She still runs around the house like a kitten, jumping up on things and scaling walls and doors like she&#8217;s Spiderman with ease.<\/p>\n<p>She still &#8220;kills&#8221; plush toys and drags them all over the house and her eyes remain bright, clear, and highly alert. She&#8217;s a handful, too. But I love my girl to the ends of the earth and back and every night without fail, she settles on the couch to cozy up with me for the night. Happy birthday, Zoey, and wishes for many, many more.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20264\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DebZoey.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20264\" class=\"borderGreen wp-image-20264\" src=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DebZoey.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"460\" height=\"753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DebZoey.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DebZoey-183x300.jpg 183w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DebZoey-626x1024.jpg 626w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DebZoey-768x1257.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DebZoey-938x1536.jpg 938w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-20264\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An image from 2011 of Zoey and me on the couch.
