Mine is turning 18. She can't jump up on counters directly but she has created a path from the chair to the garbage can to the counter. And she can't hear anything either. She has always had a loud meow but now if you startle her, dang, she YELLS. But she still has spunk. She has Personality with a capital P.
That said, I had to put her buddy down last year. He was my love bug.. Anniversary is next Wednesday. Miss him...
Man, I hate this. My cat is 15, I know what's coming. Sorry for your loss.
We just lost our 18 year old kitty. Give your kitty hugs from me.
Mine is 18 and a half and still holding her own even though she can’t jump up on counters any longer and she seems to have lost her hearing.

Mines almost 17 (woah just realized that)
Her back leg hurts her from arthritis or something. She walks a lot slower than she used to. When do you know it’s time to put them down?
((hugs)) My family sends all of you who have older cats and pets love, as cat lovers.
We had a few cats that lived to the 17-18 range. It's amazing how long a loved kitty will live for.
