I think you invented a word...

I smoke a cigarette now and again-both my husbands smoked maybe half a pack a day. The only pets that didn’t die of old age were a dog who died as a result of a fall when playing outdoors, and 4 shelter cats over the years who were disabled genetically or from an injury, but we adopted anyway-and they still lived to be over 12.

My dog-a Husky-is 15 and healthy, and the Chow I had before her was 17 when he died in his sleep. My non-disabled cats live to 18-21-I’ve never had a pet that had cancer.

My human family members live quite awhile, especially the women-late 90’s to 100 is not uncommon-and a lot of them smoke. I’ve not lost a relative to cancer, either...

My wife had a cat I wished would croak from second hand smoke or any other method of death! Finally after 15 years it died a natural death!
