- hey guys! this week i adopted a cat for the very first time! he is a senior boy living in his golden years, so he pretty much just sleeps and snuggles & im loving every second! do you think i should keep his name as ‘Loki’ or change it to ‘Dior’?
update: i have had Dior for about a week and he is literally just the sweetest old boy! We had his first check-up and he is actually about 12-13 years old instead of 10! I’ve spent so much time spoiling him and I feel so honored to share his golden years with him 🥰
as much as people may feel i gave him the greatest Christmas gift by bringing him home, i wish he knew it is one of the greatest gifts ive given to myself.
thank you so nuch Beatrice Humane Society for all the work you do and never giving up on any animal that runs through your shelter, Dior deserved a home and i cannot thank you enough for letting me get to spoil this sweet boy.

For everyone asking for an update!! here is the update on Mr. Dior!!
It genuinely fills my heart with joy to see that you chose to adopt a senior cat. That is so sweet and you gave him a chance at a better life, so thank you!!😭
Older cats are the best, they tend to be much more grateful when they are rescued.
Thank you for adopting a senior cat! It is so important to help senior cats.
And adopting any cat
Totally agree❤
He seems shockingly aware of his situation. Wow, 13 years old. He’s probably seen and experienced a lot. He looks like he loves you a lot and is thankful you got him out of the shelter. This is so sweet and he does look like Dior.
My cat is 14 years old now I got her at three years old the thought of ever losing her is unbearable she is part of me by now
Cats believe in miracles!
He is the sweetest boy I have ever met! I am so lucky. He is doing well & is as healthy as can be for his age :)
Senior cats are more smoochy
I think he is 10
Thank you for adopting a shelter/rescue cat!! There’s so many cats in need, im always happy when people choose to adopt a rescue
I adopted a 13 year old cat with a sad life story. As a kitten, "Miss Kitty" as I named her, had been hit by a car. It created a problem with her hind quarters. She could move her bowels, but had trouble because the damage from the accident broke some bones and made the opening to pass her bowels severely constricted.
She had been in a shelter her ENTIRE life, because no one wanted to have to risk spending a large amount of money due to injuries from the accident. The shelter named her "Skid Mark" (which I found cruel) because when she was brought in to them, you could still see the tire marks on her back.
I gave her one terrific year, until the degeneration from the accident closed her up so that she could no longer move her bowels unless she had diarrhea. It broke my heart, but I had to make THAT decision. Many, many tears were shed. But I take such solace in knowing that I gave Miss Kitty the happiest year of her life, free from looking through the bars of the various cages she lived in throughout her life.
He is going to be so loved for the rest of his life. You were the light at the end of his tunnel
he is so loved & so spoiled!! truly feels like i was meant to find him :) 🤍🤍
Beautifully said ❤
This is so wonderful! Here's a suggestion.... try to see him as a "cat" and not so much as a "senior cat".... kitties can live - and be quite active - well into their 20s! High quality wet food (Weruva is a great brand), lots of play time and of course love and Dior could very well be with you for awhile!
So true
I AGREE. CATS AND DOGS CAN LIVE LONGER. SPREAD THE WORD! IT HELPS TO TRY A HIGH QUALITY CAT FOOD. I USE HILLS SCIENCE DIET, and PURINA ONE FOR A SENIOR CAT TAKE IT TO THE VET FOR A FULL SENIOR BLOOD PANEL. ITLL CHECK HOW ALL THE VITAL ATE DOING. EARLY
That first moment when Loki realized that he was not in a cage, but a house is so precious! He's a beautiful boy and if he seems a little shy, remember that he has a past that you know little of. He may have been lost or put out by someone or his owner may have passed away. It's up to you to give him all the love he can accept. I'm sure he'll fall in love with you I'm no time! Siamese cats only love one way...completely! He is such a gorgeous fellow! You, young woman, are beautiful, too! What a pair you make!
He is the sweetest, most handsome, and well-mannered boy! I got extremely lucky with him. He is so cuddly and smart. 🥰
He is so freaking pretty gosh, I'm a foster and this is honestly the fastest I've seen a cat decompress, he's had alot of experience bendito
Hope you guys have a great life, he looks like the sweetest boy
he is the absolute sweetest boy! since the first night he always falls asleep next to my head and wraps his arms around my face. I jokingly call him a “stage 5 clinger”, but he is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I am so thankful for this experience and to get to spoil him in his senior years ☺️☺️
You are one special girl. You thought outside the 'kitten' box and went for the most awesome cat ever. Good for you!!
Dior is just beautiful, and so are you - adopting him and giving him such a great home.
Seniors are some of the last cats, or dogs, adopted, if at all. You did an awesome thing.
He's got that little tooth thing going on, like our senior Grizz. Kind of looks like Grizz a bit, too
Our oldest cats were 22. So you could have Dior for some time 😸 And you'll both love every minute.
Adopting a senior cat is the best thing ever! They really, really know you're giving them a second chance
My husband and I were just talking about this tonight - we took an abandoned senior cat off the streets before he finally died from the cold. I couldn't stand watching him all squinched up, trying to stay warm. Someone was feeding him, but wouldn't let him inside.
So Dec 23rd, we finally got him, Grizz, and he - I swear - KNOWS we saved his life. Whatever room we're in, he's in 💞💕💗
Thats great. i bets he’s a cutie! im a vet volunteer. cats can live longer. i have an 18 y o. heres a suggestion for longevity: Upgrade your cats food a bit at a time. many if the regular brands are unhealthy, according to studies. try Hills science diet (or Purina One). Cut back on dry food, canned mixed with a little water is healthier. Also, take your cat in for a Full Senior Blood Panel. its quick and it tests vital organs for any issues. early. 🐱 🐾.
I've adopted five elderly cats in the last ten years. I'm so happy for this guy! You can trim his nails if they're catching on furniture and clothes. Also, they can't clean themselves as well as they get older so I buy little cat wipes. Just wipe him off and brush him...he'll probably enjoy it. BTW, Wilson lived to be 17, we had him for five years. We had his brother, Sebastian, until he was 19. Charles lived to be 17. Bonnie, who just died, was with us for four years and she was about 16 but had kidney problems. You don't know how long you'll have Dior, but he will live a wonderful life with you, I'm sure.
Thank you for adopting an older kitty! We adopted a ten year old kitty girl four years ago and she is a love. Please keep him and give him lots of love for the rest of his life. ❤️❤️❤️
he is so spoiled!! he has been an absolute joy & I love him so dearly ☺️☺️

He's "Lucky" to have found you, now he's "Dior" cause the life he's living now...🥰
He's a handsome fella and looks to be in good health despite the few things. And pretty chill too. Since he's made it this far, he probably has plenty of good years to come.
he does have a brain tumor that we’ve discovered! however is heavily monitored & is on pain meds & seizure meds to make him comfortable ☺️ otherwise all is normal and he’s a happy kitty who still loves to play and snuggle!!
Thank you so so so much for adopting him :) cat’s definitely will always sit there and stare at you lol
I have definitely learned that! Cats are such funny and fun creatures 😂
I have a Siamese, she turned 12 in July. I have had her since she was about 9 weeks old. She is extremely spoiled, yes, I did it. I needed something in my life after my husband passed away and she has filled that spot.
glad u adopted an older cat! he's only 10 years old and some kitties live up til their 20's so you'll have plenty of time with him!
Thank you for adopting a senior cat. I think Loki suits him because he is so chill (low key).
Looking forward to more videos! Im a 62 year old certified “old cat lady”, and extremely experienced with having cats. You are in for a wonderful experience!
That is a lovely honourable
" certificate" 👏👏
That is awesome! So far, he has been such a joy to have around. He is just so sweet and well behaved. I got extremely lucky!!
me too. I am one of these. youre great for doing this! im a vet volunteer. cats can live longer. i have an 18 y o. heres a suggestion for longevity: Upgrade your cats food a bit at a time. many if the regular brands are unhealthy, according to studies. try Hills science diet (or Purina One).

He's very very sweet and I had a Mr Man. I think that is a great nick name for him.
Awww he is so adorable and seems like a great match for you. I hope you have many years together. Thank you for giving a senior cat a chance. 💗
You are so kind! I just had a gut feeling I was supposed to meet him & I truly feel like it was meant to be :) thank you!!
I can't imagine giving up a sweet little guy like Loki!😢 I would, at the very least, find someone I know, or someone they know to take him. I wonder what the circumstances were. I hope they didn't die on him.
Truly these two found eachother. I had a rescued siamese mixed cat for many years. Just like your guy he had been the most sweet and thankful cat ever. Btw the looking at you for longer periods ist very normal for siamese cats, it's their way of showing their love.
it feels like I’ve had him his entire life, he has both physically and mentally made my life so much better and it feels much more complete!
also I was looking up the history of Siamese cats, apparently originated in Thailand and they were bred to guard temple statues, the folk tale is that’s why they stare and are cross eyed because they stare intensely out of protection and admiration ☺️
It really upsets me to see these precious creatures stuck in those tiny prisons without so much as a toy! It's Cruel!
You are right. He is sooo cute!
Thanks for adopting a senior! 🎉🎉 he seems so precious!
It really is!
Nothing like the love of a sweet cat. You love him and he loves you. Hes beautiful
Just like human seniors, senior cats have plenty of love and companionship to offer. Adopting Loci will end lovelyness for both of you. Live life and enjoy !
You get to touch THE FLOOF! The softest fur in catcreation; (Belly-underbelly)
Mr. Dior settled in nicely, it seems and enjoys his time with you. Enjoy the ride.
Rescuing two cat's nearly two years ago has produced two very happy mouser's 😸
I have adopted a senior Snowshoe Siamese. He was 12 and had character and it was the beginning of four years of love. It was genuinely worth it! He was so cuddly and human oriented! Since this I have adopted three more elder cats and the reward for me has been well worth it!
That's cool. Thank you for giving him a home.
Dude…I just saw him while typing…he made my heart melt..
Mine too!
Tears of joy and gratitude to you. This senior kitty is blessed to have you as his loving hoooman. I hope you will serve as an inspiration to others to consider adopting esp senior cats and dogs. Bec they only have few years remaining in this planet. God bless you both
God bless you and your sweet cat. Brought tears to my eyes seeing you playing with him. My beloved 16 year old cat passed 3 weeks ago and I miss him so very much.
Oh gosh! You don't even know how happy I am for him... he has a home now and how happy I am that you adopted a homeless cat! Thank you so much! He is so cute!❤️❤️
Thank you for giving an older cat a chance at a better life! He must be very grateful to his momma…
Absolutely!
With love & care, your furbaby can live to 20 years plus. God's blessings to you both!1
Love this! Really fills my heart that theirs still people who don’t let cats die in shelter instead of spending the rest of their life with them! ❤❤
Senior cats are the best! They are so appreciative of everything you do for them. Yes, kittens are adorable but they only stay kittens for a little while. Senior cats are more mellow and, in my experience, are more interested in interacting with you than kittens, who are busy chasing around burning off all that energy. I only adopt older adult cats. More people should give them a try.
Thank you so much for adopting a senior cat! He does have several years in him and, in his new luxury life, I'm sure it will be longer than you think. BTW, his cross eyes are due to the siamese in him. So cute!
May you have a beautiful life with ur cat
I'm so happy you found each other. We foster cats and it's always satisfying when one of our fosters goes on to a good forever home. We miss them of course, so there's a little sadness when we say goodbye, but mainly happiness.
So awesome!!! You gave an opportunity to a life, to a senior life. Thanks! You are adorable...🥰 Keep up posted!!!...♥️
My brother adopted a 13 year old tabby named Lucy in Pa. She’s a good girl aside from a few litter box issues . She’s happy . I’m glad you did the same ! Pretty cat !!!!
He is so beautiful, he reminds me of our Blue Point Siamese cat. He was born September 1st 1966, he passed 1980. Sammy was a gift for my Mom from her friend. We went to breeder in Manhattan, my Dad wanted a Russian Blue. So when I saw him, knew he was perfect for my Dad. They were best buds for years. 8 years after he passed we adopted a Black and White Tuxedo cat, who was half Russian Blue. He had been badly abused by his first owner. We got him when he was 10 months old.
Thanks for giving him a second chance. 🙏❤🙏
You are an absolute legend. Thank you for giving an older cat a chance. 👍🤟
Dior can be his middle name. Loki Dior sounds good
😻 This just warms my heart!!! Thank you for giving this senior boy a loving and safe place to be!!! 😻
He’s a beautiful boy! It’s so great that you adopted him so he can have a loving home. ❤️🐈⬛
He is an absolute sweetheart!
As cliche as this sounds, that cat picked you. The headbutts and immediate purring is such a great thing to see. Good on you for adopting an adult cat too, as they are often overlooked for cute kittens. I took in a 4 yr old adult cat that hung around my workplace, and I could not have asked for a better cat! The rescues know when they have been saved. Thanks for sharing this video with us👍
Im adopting a cat who is 2 years old. I hope he likes me just as much as Loki loves youuuuu. Very wholesome video and encouraging for senior cats.
omg congrats!! all pets are so loving as long as you care for them :)
Thank you for giving a senior cat a forever home❤
You have to earn a cats trust. They’re not like dogs where they will love anybody that glances their way. Once he knows you’re going to keep him and take care of him. He will be devoted to you. You have to earn his trust because that’s how cats are. He’s beautiful and I’m so glad you took him home with you. Just love him and he will love you back. God bless you for giving him, a golden life in his golden years. I have two golden cats. One is 15 and is very healthy and one is 14 and has just been diagnosed with diabetes, but I will give her the best life ever for whatever time I have with her. I have had them both since they were kittens.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for adopting and for adopting a older/senior pet
I heard the same thing.. cats should get wet food (because they don't drink enough and they can get dehydrated) if they get water in their wet food, that's good for them. He is impossibly sweet ..but so are you and I hope you have a lot of time together.. He's probably smart enough, but my brother says, 'there's unsupervised toys and supervised toys' - you shouldn't give them feathers unsupervised, cause they could eat/chew them and choke on them
When i was a kid we had Siamese cats & some are cross eyed that is so cute i think. He can have dry food for in between his wet meals. Keep his Cat box in a seperate area where he has privacy to go poddy. Lots of luck w your new furbaby & so wonderful for you to adopt a Senior Kitty. 🐈⬛🐾💞💞
An angelic cat for sure - we're so glad that you adopted this beautiful furbabe. We love all cats, especially the senior ones - they're a lot calmer & more loving for sure. A better fit with our simple lifestyle.
That's amazing that he warmed up to u so quickly 😁
He's so lucky to have you. You picked the right one. Enjoy every second of your cat's love❤.
I've watched this video a few times now because it is so heartwarming. Thank you for giving this beautiful senior cat a happy home. Cats can live very long lives-especially indoor cats. My ex had a 22 year old Siamese. The color and markings on Dior's face and his blue eyes remind me a lot of my see cat except my old boy is long haired Blue Lynx ragdoll. I wish you and Dior many, many happy and healthy years together.
Thank you for giving this little guy a loving home. I can tell you’re a good hearted person ❤
He’s going to love it there.
My Puff was like 12 when I got her, and she's 16 now, and I couldn't ask for a more sweet or loving companion. I hope I can give her a few more good years before she crosses the Rainbow bridge.
thank you for adopting an older boy ! older cats are just want the most cuddles ! I can recommend you crush up the biscuits into a powder and sprinkle it on top of the food ! our older gentleman winston really enjoys food like that. I wish you both the best !
so cool u adopted an elder cat. usually they r neglected !!
Thank you for saving this senior soul
Hes beautiful. so glad you took him home, lots of love there, makes my heart smile when people adopt pets,😻
he is my baby 💗 im so lucky our paths crossed
This is so precious! You guys are so lucky
Oh, what a love! He is so sweet! Thank you for adopting him!🥰
I had to subscribe because you and your senior cat have beautiful souls.
Great job!!! You're being a fantastic fur-mumma💜💙💚🐈😻. He's very blessed having you and you him. Cats are such great therapy for us humans. You've done a wonderful thing for his mental health🤩🥰🤗👍🏼. Love your videos and snaps. Especially when Dior is looking from behind you sleeping 😂👏🏼👌🏼.
Thank you for adopting, he's so handsome
Thank you for adopting him ❤ he is so cute and he’ll thank you forever . I’m sure you’ve been told by now, but he looks to have ragdoll in him ❤ 😊
You’re an excellent kitty mom!
Thirteen is not that senior.If well looked after, cats can live well into their twenties. Mine is 17 and often behaves like a kitten
He is so precious!! And beautiful!
Siamese cats are energetic and opinionated breed that loves human companionship. Their bright blue eyes radiate intelligence and they love learning new things and exploring their environment. They’re very good cats from what I hear. Thanks for adopting a senior cat! Unfortunate that the rescue wasn’t more honest? Knowledgeable? About his condition and approximate age. Sounds like a big difference, between 10 and 13 😂
My 3rd cat (Valjean) was a street adoption here in Korea. He was skinny and dirty and matted in 2017 when he came to live here. He has stomatitis, which we treated with meds for years. 2020 he had dental extractions (except his 4 fangs) and it was a game changer. My guy is estimated at 10 now. He’s up to 15 pounds! Triple his adoption weight, but still smaller than his brother. I’m glad Loki/Dior has a nice place to live his life!
Very sweet. I'm glad the algorithm put this in my feed .
Glad you like it! 💗
Awww....Your such an angel for adopting him. Older cats needs home and they are also the best💕 They will not destroy your house, will always want cuddles, they are amazing😸
I know people usually dont adopt older cats bc of vets bills but cats are way cheaper than dogs. I have a 2y pitbull with allergies and per year its about 1000$(cytopoint, skin&ear infections, medicated shampoo) on vet bills and my 6y cat cost 80$ (check up & glands, no vaccines inside cat only😁).
Also when you adopt an older cat they are already spayed/neutered so you dont have the hassle of the healing process👏(Try to stop you cat from jumping after a spay at home🤦)
He is really well behaved! He doesn’t scratch anything, he doesn’t jump on counters or mess with food/decorations. A true gentleman! I got lucky!!
Bless you for adopting a senior kitty!! ❤️
When a cat looks at you, just stares; he/she is thinking, figuring you out. Sounds silly but it's true, cats are very very intelligent creatures. It means he's interested in you :)
He’s beautiful sooo special you are both blessed 🐈⬛
awesome you chose to adopt one instead of demanding them to be bred into existence! and what a cute cat
He’s so cute I’m gonna cry 😢😭😭❤️❤️
he’s seriously so adorable! And soooo handsome ☺️
A year ago I adopted a 15-year-old cat. I would not change her for all the world now. 🙂
What a lucky boy to be found by you!
Precious boy...
Angela, this feeling that you were meant for each other is no accident. It never is. This gentleman is an old soul, and so are you.
You have known each other forever, and you too came with a purpose: in 4 letters:
L.O.V.E
One that opens your heart to the infinity of your capacities.
He will teach you, and make you the one you're meant to be. Some people will, too, but somehow animals tend to make their way more easily into your hearts. 💖
He is such a sweetie!
He's a keeper.
I've had cats in my life for 60 years and wow. Our first cat was a fighter, he loved to fight us. He had 3 preteen boys to fight with, and he did. His name was Combat, and he adored my mother. He passed away the very day my first son was born, a happy/sad day.
All except Combat have been rescues, as have all our dogs. One of our current cats (of 2) had such a horrendous upbringing, it is still dangerous to touch her, but she is loved and cared for the best we can. Her previous family thought it fun to throw her (as a kitten) to their hunting dogs for them to chase. We grabbed her one day and told the mongrels that if they had any objections they could tell the cops and we would show them the videos of their actions.
Your elderly gentleman will watch over you, he may be standoffish with visitors when first met, but he will devote himself to you.
I'm up at 4am each morning and "Tash" greets me, I make their small breakfast and she sits with me at the computer. We share this time together but if I try to show her some love she bites me quite hard, most times drawing blood, but I accept it without question knowing her past, she is so, so beautiful, there is a beautiful cat inside and she wants to be noticed and needs to be loved. There are 8 humans (4 grandchildren, their parents and my Wife (and me)) in the house plus 2 dogs, 2 cats and about 100 birds. And believe it or not, the cats couldn't care less about our birds, but they keep the scavenger birds and other cats away from them. My Wife hand rears baby birds thrown from the nest and Tash will sit on the kitchen bench beside the babies in their bed and watch as my Wife prepares their food and feeds them. Never once has she tried to grab any of the babies, she is such a treasure.
All our dogs have also been rescues and we have been married 44 years next month, our current 2 were on death row, one was going to be shot and the other was on its way to get put down, daughter almost beat up the first owner, grabbed the pup and ran off, my Wife did similar with the second. We have a weird household, but we're a big family with lots of love.
Good luck for the future, our most sincere best wishes and thoughts to you.
PS. I hope the ol' boy is still doing good.
You’re amazing for adopting an older cat
Hi just a quick suggestion, you should get a flatter/wider bowl so his whiskers don't come in contact with the bowl because they are quite sensitive! Have a nice day!
Thank you!! I am looking into getting the lickimat for him. I thought the bowls I had were wide enough and a bit flatter than a rounder bowl, but I am going to be changing it! ☺️
@@AngelaThornburg Hi no problem! I am glad you are changing it up. Do make sure he’s comfortable eating with the lickmat because some cats don’t like it. I hope he likes it, and thanks the reply!
I'm adopting a 1 year old calico cat tomorrow and I'm so excited, I hope she loves her new home :')
Shower her with so much love!! that’s so exciting for you and your new furbaby. 🩷
Dior is gorgeous and endearing. You two have really bonded! ❤️🐈🥰
he’s definitely got me wrapped around his little paws!! ☺️
Im happy for yall
