I don't claim to know everything however I do know that almost everything in my life was hard for me. School sucked, it was filled with nothing but drama and I couldn't stand it. I ultimately ended up dropping out of high school around the same time I met my boyfriend. My boyfriend gave me the encouragement I needed to go get my GED and start getting my life together. We have a house, 4 cats and a few other miscellaneous pets.
We aren't doing bad for two 20 somethings with GED's. As of right now I am a certified veteraniary assistant.I love animals and hope to persue a career in dog grooming.

I'm 15/f and my cat is a non-pedigree black and white male ....and he's 7 years old (is that considered a senior?) I should also probably mention that he's been castrated since like 4 months old.
My cat is SUPERR lazy....VERY inactive.....and he just sleeps around the house...in any place he can find to sleep on. He crawls ANYWHERE just to sleep. And he only wakes up when he wants to go to the bathroom. I know that cats are supposed to sleep so much...but he sleeps in the day AND night! He's quite fat also. I'm beginning to worry..because he has breathing problems. And I never want to overfeed him....what should I do? How can I make him more active so he'll live longer and be healthier? Because now, he's just growing fatter and fatter :( (link)

First of all, Cats are carnivores they eat meat not "veggies". And yes your cat is considered a senior and sleeping is part of that. ask your vet what the ideal weight for him to figure out if he does need to lose weight. I would get a premium cat food (I have four cats and they all eat science diet) make sure it is for seniors. If he needs to lose some weight get him a light food and read the directions on the can or bag for weight loss. If his weight is good, then you look for directions on weight managment. Once my cat lost her extra weight she became more active and affectionate. The other thing to do is basic trial and error find a toy he really likes to play with, try some catnip see if he likes that, there are tons of toys out there your bound to find something. Hope I helped.
