Our pet cats are growing older and weaker.

We have two cats which are 14 and 15 years old.Both are brothers and came from our older daughter's. Our older daughter,Haruna,who lives with her family in Sapporo,likes animals very much and she has two dogs and three cats indoors.14 years ago,three or four cats,(I've forgotten how many), were born to one of her cats.Haruna's cats were pedigree Chinchilla cats and they were popular in Japan.So,all the pussies but one were soon adopted by Haruna's friends.The one left at Haruna's had some trouble with its eyes.When it was born,his eyes were open.( When cats are born,their eyes must be closed.) So,Haruna took it to animal hospital, and had the eyes of the pussy closed by stitching the eyelids. After a week or so,the stitches were removed,but the pussy seemed to have trouble with its eyesight. About a year later,Haruna brought to our house the pussy with another cat,one year older brother of the pussy,and asked us to keep them. Since then,the two cats have lived with us for 14 years.They have been so well and lovely as any other cat, and we have loved them. But recently,the cat which had trouble at birth seems to have grown old and weak, and is not able to walk well. He wears diapers. We care for the cat every day so we can't be away from home even a single whole day.We like traveling, but we can't go anywhere now. The other cat,a year older brother, is very well. Anyway,we now hope we will live happily,nursing our two old cats tenderly.
