20 Pictures Of Elderly Animals That Prove They Never Run Out Of Love

It’s beautiful to see your pet grow up.

I know that it is always adorable to see tiny kittens and puppies and I will be the first to admit that I always wanted a kitten myself rather than a full-grown cat. Part of it is because baby animals are just too cute and the other part is because you want to adopt a young one so you can see them grow up. So that is why the following pictures are so beautiful. Many of these pets have stayed in their forever home for a long time and are not considered elderly.

Some of us may find this gorgeous but there is not enough love on the Internet for the elderly animals. And that is exactly why we are here. We wanted to show the animals who stay by our side through thick and thin some love. So if that is what you wanted to see, you have come to the right place. We have compiled some of the sweetest stories that are behind these pictures for you. So just scroll below to see for yourself.

We all change as time goes on as we can never stop time. And while one might say that beauty is temporary, in my opinion, these animals look just as pretty as when they were babies. In some cases, they look even more beautiful just because you have a deep bond with them now and call them family. So who cares about a little grey in their fur or that they aren’t as spry as they used to be? As long as they are with us, we get to enjoy their company.

#11 He looks like he is ready to pounce on someone any second now.
