What's the age of your oldest cat?

[jazzcat]

I don't know if this has been asked before but I'm curious of the age of your oldest cat? Up until the past few years I thought cats had a life span of 10-12 years at best. Glad to know I was wrong!

Ripley is 11 years 7 months and is my first and oldest cat. I hope and pray to have many more years with him.

My husband's cousin's cat lived to be a little over 20 years and that is the oldest cat I've known personally.

When Sherman came to us in 1993, I think he was between 4-7 years old. So that puts him between 14-17, maybe even 18 now... however, he's still pretty agile, so maybe he's on the lower end of that guestimate. I hope he is.

According to the vet our Georgie is somewhere between 9 and 14 years old. He is our oldest kitty & the softest & purriest too.

I hope this photo worked. Our Ernie died this past April and he was 17 years old. This is the oldest any of our cats have lived. He was just wonderful and so sweet - he would come when he was called and his "person" was our daughter. She was 2 when we rescued Ernie so they grew up together. I can remember her dressing him up in doll clothes and pushing him in a little buggy!! She was the ONLY one who could get him to do such things! He developed kidney failure and died several days before our daughter's wedding. He died peacefully in his sleep. I am so thankful she was still home to be around for him. Right after she married, she moved to Japan. So it all worked out well though I sure do miss him. We immediately adopted a pair of kittens to fill our "empty nest" - there are pictures of everyone here including our new grandkitty in Japan.

Bo is almost 14. I got him for Christmas, 1989. He was approx. 6 weeks old at the time.

Trevor turned 10 on March 15th (This is an estimated date on the part of the vet). He was just a wee little kitten at the time I got him, so at most he is probably just off a week or so.
