My cat Kali is getting really old now, she sleeps a lot, she's been losing her teeth slowly, and she now has trouble getting up on things like the couch or my bed.
I do have a chair next to my bed so she can jump up on that, and then jump onto my bed, but she still has a lot of trouble.
I searched all over for a thing to help her like they have for dogs.
You know how they make stairs or dog ramps to make it easier for dogs to get in bed?
Well they don't make those for cats, only for dogs, or at least I haven't found any for cats yet.
I want to either find a ramp or some pet stairs for her to make it easier for her to get up on my bed with me.
She gets frustrated when she can't get up and sleep with me, she meows so pathetically, I know that it bothers her, so I want to do everything that I can to make it easier and comfortable for her now that she's old and having trouble.
She's my baby, my pretty kitty Kali, my princess, I am going to be so sad when she dies, I know she doesn't have much time left anymore.

How old is Kali? Our Dusty is our oldest cat, she's 16 years old now. I've had her since she was a tiny baby kitten, I got her and her brother Mittens at the same time. Mitty died a couple of years ago, of old age.
Dusty is still hanging on, though. She doesn't seem to have lost any teeth, but she has lost a lot of weight. She used to be fat, but now she weighs next to nothing. She still eats and drinks, though.
And she still demands her *brushies*. She follows us into the bathroom, jumps up on the sink, and meows until she gets brushed. She has trouble jumping up from the floor to the sink, although sometimes she can still do it. Now, she has to jump up onto the toilet or the side of the tub, and go from there to the sink.
I don't know how much longer Dusty has for this world, either. But you're right, all we can do is anything we can to make our kitties comfortable and happy while they are still with us.
What about those step stools they have for kids?
Knowing cats, Kali would have no problem using a ramp/steps meant for a dog LOL. My cat was always in the dogs' stuff - food, bed, you name it. He just figured that every single thing in the house belonged to him, so of course it wasn't "dog food", it was "Simon's Property".
