My neighbor has a 17 year old cat that sleeps in other peoples driveways and the street. It will not move for any dog, and it acts like it owns the whole neighborhood. When its keepers are away it comes and yowls at me rubbing against my leg. I know it is not long for this world because it sleeps all the time now, and I hate to see it go. It is a real character.
Being a curmudgeon is not always easy.
