Good luck, keep us posted on this. I will probably be in your position in 10 years myself.
Agreed. If she's doing well on the raw diet and enjoys it, I'd let her be. When it's her time, she will go. 17 years is quite a long life for a cat. My favorite cat (of many) lived to be 21, but I have no idea how. We fed her cheap dry food and she supplemented it with mice and birds. Good genes, I guess.
