Sonny the cat has spent most of her life in the shelter or foster care until September, 2013, at the age of 16 she found Becca who fell in love with this beautiful ginger cat. "She cost $10 at the shelter and I plan on getting my money's worth," Becca said via reddit

Now at 17, Sonny hasn't slowed down at all. "She has tell-tale age signs (the worn teeth, the cloudy eyes, the earwax and those cute little brown splotches) but she plays and runs like a younger cat," she added.

"I can't imagine my life without her. I think she's pretty happy in her forever home."

Sonny was 16 when she came to her forever home. "The day I brought her home! She jumped right out of the cardboard carrier and began to sniff around and make herself at home."

Sonny's first selfie. "She is so loyal and cuddly and gentle."

"I nabbed her most mornings for photos in bed. She wasn't as thrilled as me."

"My Saturdays consisted of Netflix, wine and my little peanut."

Becca brought her kitty steps to use.

She may not have all her front teeth, but Sonny is a happy drooler.

Look at those beans!

"I really really love her little paws," said Becca.

"I can't imagine my life without her. I think she's pretty happy in her forever home."
