It stinks to get older

Benny is 15 now, and can't jump as good as he used to. We added a step stool to the kitchen where he eats, and he uses it all the time.

Recently I discovered that he can't jump up on the computer chair when I'm sitting on it. I pick him up now, because he loves computer laps so much.

Thanks, Mom.

I love sitting up here.

I'll just settle in for a while. It's good to be warm.

Binga still jumps on the office chairs... a little TOO much, according to my human's boyfriend! He should be grateful!

Well, at least you're getting some special treatment, Benny. :)

Have you had Benny's thyroid checked? Socks had gotten where he had trouble jumping and we thought it was due to old age, but after he got treated for his thyroid he was able to jump again.

Poor Benny. Have you tried a glucosamine supplement? It may help if he doesn't have a touchy tummy like Spooky has.
