Who is our "oldest" cat?

[Logan]

Vermontcat has Samantha, who will turn 15 next week!!! :D :D :D I think that is quite an accomplishment!!! :)

My Mimi will be 14 tomorrow. What other kitties are out there, who are living long lives??? Let's post them here!!! :)

[Vermontcat]

Logan, I know that Tubby and Peanut and Grasshopper are all teen kitties.
Maybe they will post here to let us know when their next birthdays are too.:)

Well, My Cat, Mamma Kitty, lived to be 18 1/2 years old. She's now at RB though.

[jenluckenbach]

(RB) Bear was OVER 19 years. (I did not have a birth date on him.)

My oldest is Monte at about 9 years old.

[The Cat Factory]

My oldest cat is Twinkles, she's 10, she'll be 11 on November 1st :)

Well I know I definately don't have the oldest, but have one of the youngest :)

[Logan]

Yes you do, Aly, and thank goodness for you, and people like you, who can work miracles with these babies!!! :)

Our Patty is at least 19 years old. She turned up on our doorstep in the summer of 1984 and she wasn't a little kitten.

[zippy-kat]

Clarice is 13 and Tinker 11.

K'Cee isn't even one yet. ;)


Has anyone heard about Grasshopper? She's up-there too, I think.

wow! she doesn't look very old either! You have been very fortunate to have her for so long! Same as jen, that is great :D

I had snowpaws for 25 years before we had to put her down. She was about a year old, maybe more when my parents found her. So she was at least 26. I was 5 when they brought her home to me and just before my 30th birthday we had to put her down, cancer. :( I know in '88 they said she was the oldest living cat they knew about.


Right now I have Tasha she 19, but not doing well, but we are praying she'll see 20 + also.

[Felicia's Mom]

Felicia is 13 (born in summer of 1989). Beau is 11 (born on March 15, 1992.

Kelcee turned 14 May 5th.
Leroy lived with me for 19 years and was an adult when I got him.

[shais_mom]

I thought that Grasshopper is 19 or 20.
not sure tho


I definately don't have anywhere near the oldest, Kylie just turned 3 at the beginning of June.

when I lived in central Calif, there was a citrus grower who had a very old Texedo cat. I asked about his age. They said he was about 20 years old. I did not know that a cat would live to that age.

[Lacy]

Frisky is 14.

[catlover4ever]

My Tucker is 17 years old. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid65/p898fd701691dc468d40e850dc18a6031/fbe77a7b.jpg

My mom had Sugar who lived to be 18 years old.

[Vio&Juni]

My mom's cat Pantera is 10 years old this year. Our first cat Sura lived to be 15 years old - both outdoor kitties.

[catmandu]

Michael , Princess and moose the Magnificent are 11 ish , the others Bo , Joseph , Roscoe are eightish , the others I think are in the 7 range, Rocca is 4 , the otherrs I dont know as it is hard to guage thier age once they are past one.

[boscibo]

My Bo is 13. I got him as a six week-old kitten for Christmas, 1989.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Tubby is 17 now, and Peanut will turn 15 in the fall sometime. I don't have birthdates on either one of them, but I got them both as kittens so I can estimate that Tubby was born about June 1986 and Peanut was born sometime between August and October 1988.

Sounds like so far Patty is the oldest non-RB kitty here. Way to go Patty! :D

Eduardo is estimated to be 3-4, so he's got a long way to go. :D

[Catsnclay]

Our Fluffy found us 14 years ago this past May. When I took him to the Vet's they said he was and "adult" cat. When I pressured him to give me a age, he said any where between 2 & 5. You can see he is getting old, but every once in a while the "kitty" comes out & plays.

Willie was 1 month shy of his 13th birthday when he passed. He was my best friend, we went through a lot of tough times together, divorce, bad choices in men, etc. But he was loyal!! I miss him.

[smokey the elder]

My oldest cat Mobius will "only" be 10 in Sept. My aunt had a cat who was born in our barn in 1977. This cat lived to be 23! She was a long haired tortie named Golda My Ear because she had a...gold colored ear!

[Cataholic]

The oldest in my tuxie herd is Tex. He turned 12 in May. While he may not be the nawteekat he once was, he has tons of spunk, and attitude, and wisdom. He is the total boss around here!!

[taopjlcpg]

The oldest domestic cat was a tabby called Puss, who lived with Mrs. T. Holway of Devon, England until she was 36 years old! She died on November 29, 1939 just one day after her 36th birthday.
I was interested in the oldest cat on record.....this is the info i consistently found..........my oldest cat, Tabitha (hence the first letter of taopjlcpg;) ) just passed away at Thanksgiving time last year......she was 18 & 1/2..........she was my best friend because he grew up together...i got her in the 2nd grade.........but she is still growing....i just bought a house ayr ago....so i buried her in my back yard and planted a sapling japenese lilac tree next to her....so u see she is still with me just in another form:) ....this tree was picked out special b/c her b-day was may 20th...and believe it or not this tree has big, bold, beautiful smelling blooms only 2 weeks out of the yr...& guess when?...yup the last 2 weeks in may!!!!!.........but since it is it's 1st year i have not seen the blooms yet...............i will get some pics of her on here soon :D ...i worked as a vet tech for 3 & 1/2 yrs , until just a couple of months ago.......so i got to be there for many pets' last breath....it was an honor to look into eyes & let them know they are not leaving this world alone :( .......anyway atbby thanks y'all for listening to her story...and i dedicate my inspiration and love of animals to tabby, my best friend:)
