Bassetluv: that first picture of Kaya isabsolutely adorable! As for your 14 year old cat, we ahd an18 year old Ragdoll, he was older than I was, my big brother, until afew years ago, he fell (we think) and broke his hip, the vet couldn'tdo surgery since they said the anesthesia alone would kill him, and theonly other option was a full body cast, so we had to put him down, poorkitty. Until the whole hip-breaking thing, you would havenever guessed he was that old.
