[My cat is 21 years old and acts like a kitten.]
Reran the numbers - Madeline is 24 years old and acts like a kitten.
My Siamese was almost 20 when she passed.
Wonderful story about your Cotton.
But I’m finding this bizarre - I have a Cotton and Corduroy here too, but have never encountered anyone with cats with those same names before. And Corduroy is in the article and your Cotton in the comments.
Their sister Cashmere passed away at the young age of 9 1/2:

My Crookedtail buddy made it to twenty. He’s been over the Rainbow Bridge for four years, but I still miss him a lot.
My daughter, 3 yo old at the time we got him, named him because he was white. We never expected him to change colors to brownish-tan a year later.
Precious. Many more happy years sweetie
Yeah, cats changing colors is weird! although I’ve heard Siamese turn darker if they go out in the sun.
My last kitty made it to 21, about 18 years longer than the rest.
