Just like older people, senior pets often have restricted movement.
A woman on Instagram shows how she always has her cat grandma with her.
Older pets often require more care and attention.
Especially when cat diseases such as osteoarthritis, hearing and visual impairments, senile dementia or feline diabetes occur with increasing age.
A woman who creates
enthusiasm among the community with an
Instagram post shows how she offers her velvet paw a fulfilling life despite all the restrictions.

Woman uses a baby sling for her older cat - and the cat loves it
On the
channel
seniorcatmk,
an owner regularly gives insights into life with her senior cat, which she adopted from the animal shelter when she was ten and who goes by the short name “MK”.
This includes a video that went viral online within a short period of time and has already received around four million views.
In her clip, the woman shows how she lovingly carries her older cat around.
So that she has both hands free, she gives her followers a tip: “You should buy your older cats a wrap for their chests,” she advises.
Wrapped in the sling, which is actually intended for babies, she gently rocks the velvet paw to sleep.
And she clearly seems to be enjoying it, which the woman confirms in another video.
“She loves it so much that I almost can’t put her down.”

Adopting an old lady cat was the best decision for the owner.
She sees the time with her velvet paw as a true gift.
This is exactly the message she wants to convey with her touching videos.
Older cats are often overlooked in animal shelters or are deliberately given away there.
Instead, the future owners prefer to adopt young kittens.
“Proof that sometimes people don’t really know what they have.
MK is the most unique, cuddly and friendly cat I have ever met.
She is a diamond among the rubble and someone simply left her behind,” writes the affected woman.
