I was looking at pictures of my dear boy Willy, who died unexpectedly last year. I never realised I had him for FOURTEEN years!!! And he was a well seasoned full fledged tom cat when I was finally able to get him! The vets guessed him to be at least 3-5 years old at the time he went in for his neuter etc. Here's a link to his rescue story....http://www.chkittyclub.com/pages/cat.../jan/willy.htm
And the post after I lost him

I had NO clue that sweet boy was with me for as long as he was!!! I miss him so terribly still. Especially when he'd lick my hand, and I'd wipe it across his cheeks so he thought he was cleaning himself. I was determined that I was NOT going to let him live outside like that! And I did make him go *POOF*! And was rewarded by his devotion and determination. I feel better already! He died an OLD MANCAT!!!!! But darn it all..it just wasn't long enough for my heart!
