His page on the humane society website says he’s 5yrs and 4 months. I met the owner of the humane society who (mistakenly?) told me he is 8 and she knows this because the person who brought him to the mission told her she’s seen him for at least 8 years with people or on his own. I reminded her that the website lists his age as 5 yrs. She suggested I misread the info. I ain’t misread anything.

He’s adorable and literally rough around the edges. His ears are a bit beat up from fights.

He likes me and I like him, but I don’t want to start with a cat who’s 8 years old. He has FIV, but I can work with that in a younger cat, but I’m not sure I’m up to having a cat this mature.

I’m suppose to pick him up Saturday morning, but I’m not sure I’ll go with him.

I get your concern but c'mon....he's soooo cute! Dat face! If you like him and he likes you and you feed him good stuff and not junk, he can live 15-20 years. Cats outlive dogs and even if you come in on the short end, that's still 7 years of good times. Not too shabby, I say.

He'll have a better chance of a long life if he's strictly an indoor cat, too.

Either way, trust your gut, and don't second guess yourself!

I will take two extra strength Tylenol and throw myself off my couch.

Maybe let her know you're interested?

As for myself, I am working on the mess I've gotten myself into. I made my bed and now I have to lie in it.
