Meet My Roommate: A 16-Year-Old Cat

So, I just moved in with a senior citizen. She’s got arthritis, questionable teeth, and a serious side-eye game. Her name is Miso, she’s 16, and she’s been living at the shelter longer than some people keep jobs—six years. When I first met her, she ignored me completely. I respect that. But the shelter staff looked at me like I was a superhero for even considering her. Honestly, I just couldn’t leave her there another day. Now, our evenings are spent negotiating over the best spot on the couch and sharing awkward silences. She snores louder than my last roommate, but her purrs are worth it. Adopting a senior cat isn’t glamorous. It’s not Instagram-perfect. But every time she headbutts my hand, I know I made the right call. Give the oldies a chance—you might just find your new best friend. #AdoptDontShop #SeniorCat #PetRescue #Pets #Cats
