Adopting a Senior Cat for a 9 m² Room

My room in São Paulo is 9 m². The shelter suggested a senior cat and it was the best advice I have ever received.

Oswaldo is eleven years old. He sleeps around sixteen hours a day, wants a warm lap and a cosy heated blanket and has no interest in climbing anything. A younger more active cat might have struggled here but this peaceful space suits him perfectly..

If you live somewhere small, consider adopting an older animal. Many are waiting for homes and want little more than warmth, comfort and companionship.
