I have never seen age 6 before. I've read often that senior age is over over 7 years. Last month, my vet mentioned over the age of 7 being being senior, too. Surprised me -- because hearing it from her (rather than websites), hit home for me. Last night, I signed up to receive a free sample of pet food from http://www.sciencediet.com, and they said over 7, is senior, too. :P
Scotchie cat was 12 (13?) - and in awesome shape. The two I have now are about 10 years, in great shape. Dogs go downhill much faster than cats... I'm surprised the cat senior age isn't higher than it is for dogs?? Odd..but probably something I'm missing.
-------------------------- Those pix on the wall of that movie scene look might familiar. I can't figure out from what though...
