At 19 years old, my senior cat has entered her garden goddess era

Meet Abby, who always wanted to go outside, but could never be trusted. Finally this year, as she has slowed down in her old age, we thought maybe it's time to bring her out with us on calmer days.

We only let her out while we're out with her in our fenced yard, where she happily sits quietly in the flowers and supervises the garden. She's too old to run away or chase squirrels. But she's so incredibly happy.

Our vet says she looks great for being such an old girl. We hope she has a few more years to enjoy these sunny days. Long live the garden queen.
