Some time ago we were having health problems with our cats. It's been awhile since I've updated the blog on their condition.
Ace
Last summer, it appeared Ace had very little time to live. At one point she appeared to be going downhill so fast, we thought maybe she had only days to live.
But while she keeps getting smaller, she has survived. She has hyperthyroidism and gets fluids every day. She is louder and more demanding than she has ever been (she never made a sound or demanded anything for years, but now she does). She seems to be enjoying life and has become a good lapcat (she never did that when she was young). She is now 16.5 years old and there's no telling how much longer she will go, but she made it into 2016.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin had a couple of ear infections over the summer and got another one in the fall, but since then she has been healthy. She is now over 11 years old.
Random
Random hasn't had any problems but really needs to go on a diet.
I'm glad you are a cat person, too. Isn't it funny how they change over the years. Ace is just like our Annie. We named her Annie because her mom cat was killed when she was only a couple of weeks old so she became little Orphan Annie. As she got older she was like Annie Oakley, always running around and getting in fights with her brother. Now that she is almost 12, she is figuring out that laps and combing and snuggles are pretty good - most of the time. Hope all your fur babies have a good 2016.

They may be old, but they are glamourous. Thank you for posting their pictures.

I use your cats as my background for games and also the cat card sets. Glad they're doing well. We have a new cat after a few years of only dogs. We love our precious Katniss ❤

Misty is a rescue cat and soft, fluffy and cheeky. Tackles our whippet Bella
when ever she can, but also washes her face for her.

My Cat looked just like Ace and I had her for 17 years. Her Name was Scooter and she passed away in Sept 17, 2013
I am still not over it and to replace her would be very costly 150.00 - 175.00 at the SPCA. I live alone and scooter
was great company for me. I hope your Kitties live long and be healthy.

I have 4 rescue cats, all around 11 years old. They bless me every day Thanks for posting. John Wayne is sitting on my lap as I type. Named that by my grand daughter because of the way he walked as a kitten.

Glad to hear they are hanging in there! It is always difficult as they get older, but overall the positives greatly outweigh the tough times. We have 4 that are > 12 years old, and our fingers are crossed - so far, so good..... Best of luck to you and them!

So glad your fur babies are doing well! We have adopted a feral red fire-point and her 4 kittens to add to our Rescue home. We have our original Feral we adopted (believe him to be around 16-17 years old)...we love our fur babies and our human babies (well, not...youngest is 17)...LOVE your game...I have purchased since version 11 or 12...would really LOVE an Android version as we aren't I-people (also for my galaxy tablet would be fantastic as the Android Solitaire games really don't hold a candle to yours)...please consider us Android people in 2016...thanks for an amazing Solitaire Suite :0)
