This is China. I have had her for 18 years now, but for the last 11 she has been living here with my mom. They get along really great.
This past year I have noticed many strange changes in my girl. It finally dawned on me this trip that China is almost completely deaf. She does not respond to our voices at all, and she used to. She really needs to SEE you to know you are there.
She is 18 years old, which is pretty old for a cat. Otherwise she looks to be in great shape; no lumps or visible issues there, coat is a bit frayed, but not too shabby, not much gray in her coat, teeth look good, ears look good, eyes clear. My mom and I often joke that China will outlive all of us. Of course I know that is not true, but we do hope that when it is her time that she just goes to sleep. She is such a dear little thing, so sweet.
I just wanted to introduce you all to her. She is my constant companion when I am home.
