What's the age of your oldest cat?

[Maresche]

We adopted Hana from the shelter two years ago. She's been to 3 different vets and we've gotten 3 different estimates for her age. One said 5-7 , another 7-9 and another 10-15. I'm leaning more towards the later, because she showed me actual physical traits that back up her estimate (spots in her irises, beginning of kidney disease, arthitis (sp?)).

My first cat still lives with my mother and she's roughly 16 at this point (we know what year she was born, but that's about it). She's still doing very well, beating up on her companion nearly everyday.

Just thought I would say it so CHEERS me to read of all these kitties living to ripe old ages, hopefully I have many wonderful years with my Ash and my young Lexie, which I will treasure.

A lovely warm, touching thread I feel.

Thankyou JAZZCAT for starting it.

Our kitties are still pretty young. Opie is about 5 yrs old and Kc is I think a year and a half. She might be older. The people we got her from weren't positive about her age. The oldest cat we've had though would be our cat Mamma Kitty. She lived to be 19 1/2 years old.

Storm will be 8 years old in Jan. 2004
Sunny turned 3 in August
Sky is 1
Cirrus is 1
They're all still quite frisky and playful too.
I sure hope that they'll be around for a long time and remain healthy and happy too. I lost my RB Pepper when he was almost 6 years old and I feel that this was just too young. I wasn't prepared for it.

Princess has to be about 12 , andMicheal the orange Face about the same. The eldest was Smokey 23 , and Orange Blossom 21.So Princess and Michael are still Babies!

Fluffy found us 14 years ago, and at the time the Vet guessed he was 1 - 2 years old, he is still pretty agile for his age.

Lucky just turned 6 in April, and Yoshi just turned 3 in August.

[Cataholic]

My elderly statesman, Tex, turned 12 in May. He is the oldest by 5 years, I imagine.

[catlady1945]

Patty is our oldest. She has been with us just a little more than 19 years. We were not really sure of her age when she adopted us.

Butterscotch is oldest at 5 yrs old (he might be yr older according to neighbors where we use to live at apt complex). We go by what vet said at that time back in 1999.

Thumper follows at 4 yrs old now (according to her records at PetSmart she was 2 yrs old when we adopted her)

Skinny brings up rear at 1 yr old (educated guess by vet)
