I once had a wonderful, huge Burmese cat who lived to 24. It was amazing.

I have a 14 year old black cat... She lost weight and is now quite lively.

I have a cat that’s about 20. She used to be an outdoor kitty, and fairly cranky, until she discovered that inside was nicer. Now she is stone deaf, and has alzheimer’s. She has forgotten that she was cranky and wants to be a people cat now.

I know that dog lives are one for every seven years for a human, any idea what cat years are to human years?
To: longhorn too
It’s a little more complex than just a straight conversion. The one I’ve seen goes like this:
First year = 15 human years
Second year = 10 human years
Beginning with the third year, each year = 4 human years
so a 26 year old cat is:
15 + 10 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 121 human years

I have 12 cats, my two oldest are Nibbles - who is 18 years old, and Bootsy - who is 17 years old. They get around great and are in very good health. I love my cats!

We have a dog who is developing doggie dementia, we believe. Stares at a corner for long periods of time, stuff like that.
All the cats are still good.....they now treat him like a big mama cat and burrow in his fur.

Bootsy is one very cute cat! Yes she is, but looks can be deceiving! The other cats are scared to death of her - she definitely rules the roost. My husband found her when she was a kitten wandering around the refinery where he worked, the guys there named her "Bootsy" because she has 4 white feet. She's a real survivor!

I remember seeing a CNN story about a broccoli-loving cat that made it to 33, but I don't have a link.

I had one who made it only to 19. (As near as the vet could figure.) I miss that ol’ gal. She was the only cat who waited for me at the door, when I came home from work. And the old doll was blind and arthritic.
Pussywillow is a lucky ol’ Lady!

Oh I just love your putty cats. I have a 15 year old. He is doing well he just is shell shocked because I have a 4 year old daughter that chases him around the house. I also have two 9 year old cats and 1 seven year old. I also feed 4 stray cats on my deck.
