OOOH! Kitty :)
She looks remarkably fine for the distinguished age of 18! :)
OK,
Finally, after three years, a face to go with the name!

oooh I love old kitties...so special. My first cat lived to 20. Gretel is precious sunning herself.
There are days (like today) when this is all I want to do. Oh, to be a lazy cat, lying in the sun....
There are 2 new entrants this month!!!! Dagmar from A cat in the kitchen and Mrs D from Belly Timber :)
Awww... she looks so relaxed. I had a cat growing up who lived to be 21 years old. I bet Gretel has many more years ahead of her.
Hi farmgirl - Gretel looks beautiful, I thought she was a kitten at first, is she very small?
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all the nice comments. Gretel is a real sweetheart. Spoiled rotten, but a sweetheart! She gets about ten treats a day--literally. Boy, does this girl love her raw meat (especially venison)!
Besides being deaf and having a little arthritis, she is doing just fine and hopefully will be with us for a long time to come.
Keiko,
You're right. I looked back at the photo and realized Gretel does kinda dinky in it. But she's not. She used to weigh about 12 pounds, but I think she's slimmed down. She also used to be a real bruiser--going after big neighbor cats when she was just a little kitten! : )
Amy,
When you're a hundred and something years old, you have my permission to lie in the sun all day and do nothing. : )
My best friend growing up, my cat Dusty, lived to age 18...I love old kitties...
