Do you think cats get too boring when they get older?

NOOOOOO I do not think so!! I love cats no matter what their age or personality. They can be such sweet and loving little creatures if you give them half the chance. That's the problem with people now a days, they get tired of a cat once it grows up and then dump them somewhere and the poor thing wonders why and where their owners are and where they are! That's so sad and it makes me very angry. They have feelings too, you know? Let me ask you this, are you boring now that you're all grown up? Put yourself in their shoes. I don't mean to be mean or hateful sounding but it's the only way I can get my point across on this issue. They have feelings too just as you and I do. They just can't talk in our language.

My apologies to you. I'm so glad you don't do that for a lot of people do and it's so wrong and very sad. Maybe if you get the right kind of toy, or some catnip, they'd be more playful?

Some cats become lazy, however my husbands 17 year old cat is full of life still. Try giving your cats some catnip.

Of course not. Cats are not toys here just for himans amusement, and to be discarded when old and boring like a broken toy tractor or something.....cats are living creatures with personalities, and those personalities develop as they get older. Of course older cats don't want to play as much as kittens - just as people in their 50's don't have as much energy as children - but after spending years with a family, they will have developed their own routine, and bonded with the family, and they have characteristics that become stronger and more lovoeble as they age. My oldest cat Sasha is a wonderful, loving, charming, and devoted at his great age, as he was as a baby!

I guess cats are just like people, when they are young they are full of life and getting into everything, but as they grow older they slow down and want to take it a little easier.

I enjoyed our cats more when they got older. They stopped tearing the whole house apart and mellowed out. They still played and would get on the couch with us at night and snuggle. I miss them. We have a dog now and I swear I will never get another dog again. I miss all of the purring and playfulness of cats.
