Her hand is extended because we were holding hands; she likes doing that - I do too.
Aww. I had a cat who used to hold my hand also! Louie came with the name Louie (long story). We could have renamed him, but he was 11, and we didn't think he needed any further upheaval.
My other cat -- my daughter named her Patagonia. I have always called her Nia (the end of Patagonia). I got Nia when she was a kitten. She is 11 now. Louie is 14.
This is Miss Nia on my messy bed. She is a little black and white tuxedo kitty. She has a lovely little soul. The other day, I was feeling anxious, and she sensed it and came to sit with me all day. Louie is lovely, but a bit more self-centred, which is perfectly acceptable.
Nia looks a lot like Merlin, the cat I lost last year. Had him for 22 years and miss him so much.
It's incredible how they can sense mood I think. Mine know just when to come over for a cuddle or just sit with their paw on me as if to say, it's ok, I'm here.
I just read that you said Merlin was 22. Wow. It's still very sad, but he was long-lived.
I had to have him put down as he had kidney failure and went blind,lot weight and all. He was a tough old cat but that was too much for him. He walked in circles and bumped into everything. The last straw was when he got himself stuck behind a cupboard and panicked. That made my mind up. It was not a good time for me and I was so upset. Five days later I lost my day. This was last year.
I can't think of it without getting upset of course, but I'm grateful for the time we had.

That is so sad. They are so sweet together. It's really hard. I am glad that we live longer than our cats because otherwise, we could not know (with some certainty) that we will always be able to care for them. But it really sucks to lose them.
I have never had a friend like my cat Aslan, who passed away over a decade ago. Never had a cat like him either and I know I never will again. However, the cats we have now are lovely in their own way.
Sad yeah, but I got to spend 22 years with him and that's what I hold on to. He was a lovely little fellow, and loved Cleo so much from the moment she came into the household as a six week old stray.
Aslan, like from Narnia? Cool name.
Aww. I'm sorry to hear you lost your kitty. I lost my best friend kitty Aslan in 2010, and I am still not over it. I am at peace with it, but I still miss him like crazy.
We adopted a 15 year old cat named Leo last year. He passed away halfway through the year, and we were very sad. We missed his fuzzy face and weird little ways a lot. However, it wasn't the same as when I lost Aslan.
I suppose we knew Leo didn't have a lot of time left. Still, we hoped it would be more than a year. Poor little guy.
I always feel like cats deserve a good home, even if they are older. Almost no one seems to want to adopt older cats because they are afraid of getting their heart broken. I know a cat is a guarantee I will get my heart broken, but I will also get and give much love in the interim. And, with any age cat, who knows how long they have? We just hope for the best.
Oh great, would love to hold hands with her someday 😃 I hope I'm welcomed
She's a good cuddler and hand holder. 😊
😂 Then I must say you're lucky to have a cat like Cleo... Not cleopatra cause I'm not angry at her 😊😃
Lol. I'm very lucky to have that little friend indeed.
omg that's so cute😍😅
She's a cutie. My little girl.
