Is senior American Curl life still kittenish in habits?

From what I've seen with my own senior American Curl, not really. They mellow out a lot after about 7-8 years old. My girl still has playful moments where she'll chase a toy mouse, but she's way more into napping in sunbeams and getting chin scratches than climbing curtains or zooming around at 3 AM. The kittenish curiosity fades, but they keep that sweet, affectionate personality.

My oldest American Curl is 14 and she definitely has her playful bursts. She'll still pounce on a crumpled piece of paper like it's the most exciting thing ever, but it's more of a 5-minute session instead of a full-on play marathon. The kittenish habits are there in short, sweet doses, but the endless energy is definitely gone.

My 12-year-old American Curl still does this funny thing where she'll stalk my shoelaces like a little predator, but only for about two minutes before she flops over for a belly rub. The kittenish spirit is there in those tiny playful gestures, but it's wrapped in a much calmer, cozier package. She's proof that the joy and curiosity never truly leave, they just take on a gentler, more precious form.

I've had my 13-year-old American Curl, Jasper, since he was a tiny kitten, and his nighttime habits are the biggest change. He used to wake me up at dawn for breakfast and play, but now he'll curl up on my chest and purr me back to sleep until I'm ready to get up. That said, he still insists on "helping" me make the bed by attacking the sheet corners, but it's a slow, deliberate pounce instead of a wild leap. The kittenish energy is replaced by a more intentional, loving version of the same quirks.
