When does a cat start to lose its "game"?

Well cats are just like people - some remain more active at a later age than others. My Sasha is 8 years old now. He is nowhere near as playful as he was as a kitten, but he still has his moments when he will run round the garden, chase anything that moves, and behave like a youngster again. Most of the time now he just eats and sleeps, whereas his little sister Lily is 7 months old, and just wants to play all the time like a hyperactive child!

There is no special age when she will stop. She may slow down, but never stop. As with people and other animals. We slow as we age, but everyone at different levels. I had a cat 17 1/2 years that was the same until the last few months of his life. I have a cat now, 9 years old, that was never playful, even as a kitten. Just eats and sleeps. I have a 16 month year old, that is so active, she tires me out, without let up. So, enjoy your furry baby as long as she is active. And when she slows down, love her more.

I have six cats. The oldest is going to be six later this year. She has never been 'playful' as such. She used to walk from one arm over my shoulders and down the other arm. I miss her doing that but she's too big to do it now anyways. Anyways, I really think it depends on the individual cat. Cats are people with age they do slow down but that doesn't mean they don't have a little of the kitten left in it.

we have a cat that is somewhere between 11 and 13 years old (i adopted him from the pound so thats why we dont know his exact age). anyways he has mellowed out quite a lot over the past few years. from time to time we will still catch him chasing a piece of plastic or what not though.. but for the most part he just lays around the house and sleeps though. we have 3 other cats who are all alot more active then him, however they are all younger as well.

My parents own a cat who's now 16 and she's still as playful as ever. She's also in very good health, but she does get tired quicker.

Well, Bob hasn't been in good health since that incident a few years ago with that flea stuff but he's still pretty active. He has his days where he doesnt want to be bothered but he still plays. He'll turn 7 in April.

Most cats tend to slow down as they age. I have 4 cats. My oldest cat doesn't play very often, but she still has times when she wants to play. But she was never a very playful cat. The other 3 cats still like to play, but not as much as they did when they were kittens. They all play like kittens when we play with them with the laser light.
