Who has the oldest cat?

Mallotum_X

Whilst i have posted recently about our new kitten, we also have a nearly 18 year old cat (well she will be in May) called Charcoal.

She is still quite healthy although has slowed down a lot in her old age, noticably from about 3 years ago.

Who else has an old cat?

(If you would like to see her, shes got her picture in our blog http://blotanical.com/php/blog_clicks.php?id=http://alternativeeden.blogspot.com&locn=pfr&u= )

She tends to like to be near where we are in the house or garden, and watches from a distance, occasionally coming for some attention or telling us when to feed her.

Shes always been a very vocal cat, and makes a lot of noise, telling you when to feed, fuss, or let her out. Knickers (our new kitten) on the other hand is a much quieter cat (photo here from a few weeks ago http://alternativeeden.blogspot.com/2010/12/wordless-wednesday.html )

Hes got his appointment booked in for Monday morning to be castrated, so hopefully he wont be too upset afterwards.

When we visited the cat shelter the 'cat lady' had a stragley very grumpy ginger tom on the worktop counter (on a blanket) she told me she was 22....... He looked 100

We lost our grand old run of the mill moggy man about 7 years back, after being fit and well all his life, he had a fit one day and died in my arms in the car on the way to the vets. Prince was 25.
Oddly enough our elderly resuce Great Dane (11!) is also called Prince.

My ex-stepmum had two cats that were pretty old when they died - Jessica lived to 21 and Whiskey lived to 23.

Mattollum, aren't you going to sound a bit strange shouting Knickers to come in??

Our Sonny was 23 years old when he faded away and started out when my 3 children where babes so there lives had always known him. We use to do touring with a caravan loads...he always came with us and travelled well. He would follow us about really more like a dog because of his changing enviourment. He was a fit cat and did not suffer any ill health until the last week of his life when he had a bit of a problem with his legs and suffered a major stroke on his final day ...that was just so sad because he did not want to go.

Sadly no longer with us, but our dear old lady cat Magenta lived beyond 21yrs old (spent with us!) adopted as an adult rescue cat, she could have been two, three or even four years older!

my phoebe - tortie is 14 years old - I met and married my husband 7 years ago and he always says in jest that she will visit the pearly gates soon, I keep telling him that all our cats lived in excess of 18 = he does not seem to believe this = ha ha = you have given me more evidence to taunt him with - long live the cat!!
