I posted a reference to my cats' ages earlier today (but I've already
forgotten which thread...what a memory). My "oldest" cat lived to be almost
20, next was Amber who lived to age 16. My current two are still youngsters
(by comparison) -- Holly, age 12; and Duffy, approximately age 9. Both are
still alert and active, so I really don't think of them as seniors.

I remember a story in Cat Fancy Magazine many years ago about a couple of
cats reaching 35 years old. There were pictures of them also. I wish I
could remember the date of the magazine article. Princess , my Siamese)
was approximately 16 . She was an adult stray when she adopted me. The
Vet guessed her to be about two years old and I had her for 14 years. I
still miss her. MLB

Shmogg is approximately 17. I'll never know quite for sure, but 17 is close.

Had to put our last kitty down at age 20 years and 3 months. He had
been hyperthyroid for the last couple years of his life.

Sesame was 21 when she was put to sleep in January. She would have been 22
now, we adopted her as a kitten around the end of June/beginning of July in
1985

Kathryn, still missing her lots.

Our oldest was Philip who died at 20 years, 8 months.

Next were Custard at 19+, Speckles at 18+, Chico at 16+.

I would never have known even an approximate age for KFC until I met an
ex-neighbour in the local supermarket a few years ago and asked him if he
had any idea who the tiny black and white cat might be that was living in my
garden, and he said she had been theirs, and they had got her as a kitten
when their daughter was a baby.
When I posted to rpca that she was missing- several years ago now - and I
subsequently found her injured, the vets estimated her age at 18+ and so
were reluctant to anaesthetise her for x-rays, preferring to wait and see if
she improved over the course of a few days once her body temperature was
raised from subnormal and any bruising she might have become less painful.
Which she did.
You've perked up my interest now to discover her year of birth. I know
someone who knows their daughter, who is still in the area, so if I explain
why I need to know I'm sure they will help me with this. Watch this space!

Kitty is still remarkably well. Despite her early kidney failure she eats
like a horse. I have to groom her now myself although she does have a bit
of a go at it herself but all she does is leave snail tracks in her fur
which never looks bright. She sleeps a lot but she still has the sort of
personality to say "today I am on UR DUVET.." if I don't shut my bedroom
door quick enough, otherwise she has to make do with the bed in the spare
room.
She ventures outside now only if the weather is dry, which it hasn't been
since.. when, you fellow Brits? April?
AND she ate a whole young 6" rat the other night that Boyfie brought in. I
expected her to burp because she's so small, but she didn't ;-)
She couldn't eat it all in one go. If I went into the kitchen where I knew
the remains were she would stroll in and stand in front of it "you won't eat
my rattie, will you?" Only a few hours later and not one atom of it was
left.
Whatta girl!
