@edgarblythe,
I disagree as I am 71 and could probably run circles around you .. you cannot make generalizations about age as we all age differently ... I look like I am barely 55 ... and have no disabilities, take no medicine, go to the YMCA regularly and am a sailor and avid outside walker. I guess I actually had a good laugh over this since I have three baby kittens for adoption now ... and if I did not already have two other cats, I would no doubt keep two. If I live to be 90+ and kept them, they will have had a good life and that is more than most of them do.
