I'm just curious if there are mostly kittens and one year old kitties here or if there are a few older cats like mine. My cat Sam is 14 years old. I think there are a few other teen kitties here too. So please tell me how old are your cats?:)

Yes, I have some teenagers in my family of fur balls:) My oldest is Shoe-shoo and she is 15 this past July. I also have Snuggles who is 14 this past July. They are mother and son.
They are both very active and Shoe-shoo is my talker of my bunch of 6 babies. I also have Abraham(Abe for short who was 11 last January. My other three are young yet.
I think that with good Vet care they are staying healthy and active longer and will be with us for many years. I had a 17 year old cat Duffy that I lost last December. That was the oldest I've ever had a cat live. I have had several cats through year.

My cat has been very healthy too, she's only been to the vet to be spayed as a kitten then for yearly shots after that. The only health problems she has had are the occasional hairball and a little extra weight which we changed her diet for.
Do you have any photos of your cats? I would love to see them. I hope to get some more photos of my cat on here soon.

Hi Vermontcat:)
No, I don't have a scanner or a camera to post the pictures of them. My Abe is black and white and his markings are real close to Sam's markings. In fact when I saw your picture I thought Sam was so pretty! He and my Abe could be brothers they look so much alike. Shoe-shoo is a Calico and Snuggles is yellow and white. I hope to in the future be able to post their pictures. I enjoy seeing all the beautiful babies on pet talk. I some times just get on to see the pictures.

Actually my cat Sam is a girl - Samantha, we call her Sam or Sammy for short. You should check out a thread under Cat Breeds called Black and White Cats that I did a few weeks ago when I started here. I posted one photo of my cat there and you can see lots of others too.:)
I like to see all the kittens pictures here too since its been such a long time since my cat was a kitten and she's my only one.

Oops --- sorry Sam for calling you a he!!! I should have said you could be a sister to my Abe.
Thanks for the tip on black and white cats. I will go to that thread and see all of those sweet ones. I have always liked black and white cats. Many years ago I had two black and white one around the time that the Happy Days show was on T V. I named my two balck and white cats Fonzie and Potsey after the two characters on that show. I just notice I spelled black wrong up above here.
Out of my six, three are strays I took in. Abe came from my brothers cat.
Thanks again Mom of the six -three teeangers

Butter, we are unsure about, but think he is probably 4-5 years old. We can't wait for him to outgrow his "playful" stage. :eek:

It's nice to see we have a good range of ages represented here so far. When we get to a certain number of responses I will total them up and see what is the most common age as well as who is the oldest and youngest here.:)
We have Misty and she is 5 and will be 6 in December. We had Samantha and she was with us for 13 and a half years her heart got weak. :)

When I brought Marius into my home, the Vet's best guess on his age was about 1.5 years at the time...so that would make him 5 going on 6 years.
Scooter will be 6 next month...so our two boys are very close in age!;)

Does anyone else want their cats counted? So far we have 48 cats with 38 of them age 6 or younger and 13 of them are between the ages of 1 and 2! So far Basil is the youngest at 3 months and Tubby is the oldest at 16 years. If a couple more people answer I will show all the totals.:)

I had no idea Emma and Louise were that old - not that 1 is old, but I thought they were maybe 8 or 9 months or so. My how time flies. :)
And I believe someone here, at one time or another, mentioned that they have a 17 year old. Don't remember who it is, but I don't know if Tubby would make a good patriarch. I don't think he would set a very good example for all the youngsters out there. ;) :D

Don't know if this was what you remember as the 17 year old (Tubby and Peanut's mom) but I had a 17 year old male named Duffy that passed away last December. His birthday was May so he was a little older than 17 but he has went to the Rainbow Bridge and I still miss him:( my next oldest cat is my Shoe-shoo at age 15. Your cat Tubby at 16 in the oldest so far:)

Congraulations VermontCat for your 100th post:)
Also, thanks for the poll of the ages of our babies.
A very specail thanks for the Honorable Mention of my sweet Duffy age 17 who passed to Rainbow bridge last Dec. He was a very dear boy. I know he is having a wonderful time running and playing waiting for me, as the Rainbow piece says. He was blind before he left us and now I'm sure he can see all the wonderful things in his Kitty heaven.

I suspect Livvy is definately older than the 9 months Laura was told when she took her in, but honestly, from the condition of her teeth, I really think she's probably 5 or so. I could be wrong because Laura was told the cat was fed canned and dry food.
It's hard to believe Jackson is so old. He and Ashton were romping through the house just a few minutes ago.
