I wonder about this batchlor.  

He's 71, never married lives by himself iwth 13 cats.  He stays home all day holed up in his house watching horror and Sci-fi movies, reading sci-fi books, and playig his guitar.  He doesn't have a car because he sold his and walks to the market for provisions at night or very early morning.  Takes a buss to any medical appts. 

I met him 43 years ago and he never forgot me. 

Could he need help? He says he's content with his life.

Leave him alone. That sounds like how he wants it.

Sounds like he's doing just fine with his life exactly as he wants it.  Not everyone has to be gregarious and out-going.  Some people are introverts and loners and are happy with that life.

Sounds like the bachelor has found a lifestyle that works for him. If he is happy, I think it is wonderful that he isn't trying to please others but is taking care of himself.

All I can say is 13 cats? I don't think so. If they are indoor cats I can only imagine what the inside of his house looks like?

I would mind my p's & q's and live and let live.  Though I understand you are concerned but as others have said some people are happy being left alone.  My son is 39, lives alone with 3 cats.........he's normal (LOL).

His business.  A lot of people have a lot of cats with no issues at all.  From the OPs description he sounds like a responsible person.

@Nightowlz  That's a very valid concern.  It must be hard to monitor and clean up after 13 cats.  I think that men can be set in their hobbies and ways sometimes.  He has 13 cats and watches horror movies day in and out- these are hobbies that are part of his core identity at this point. Any woman that befriends him or dates him will have to accept all of these things.  I'm sure he's a nice and lovely guy, but I wouldn't be able to handle that many cats or scary horror movies each day. 

 

@Puzzle Piece  You seem like a very nice lady and a great catch Smiley Happy- I know he says that he hasn't forgotten about you for 43 years and I'm sure that he has a place in his thoughts for you after all these years.  You're not obligated to date him or even befriend him- you can wish him well and say a warm hello whenever you run into him.  Listen to your intuition or any hesitations you have about him.  Its ok if this isn't a love connection.

I think you're being a little judgemental.  I have 5 cats and my house is clean because we change the litter and run the sweeper more than other people do.  I think you can have 1 cat and be the smelliest house on the block.  It all comes down to maintaining your home.

@Puzzle Piece If he hasn't asked for your help, MYOB and stay out of it.
