    Samantha is 17, she will be 18 on June 26, 2006.
    It looks like DonnaJ's Tabitha is just a couple of weeks older than Samantha so she isn't the oldest girl kitty.
    When is Peanut's birthday?
    I'm pretty sure that Mimi is 16, Logan will have to tell you when her birthday is.

    Here is a recent photo of Samantha, laying around enjoying the good life of a spoiled senior kitty.
    RIP sweet Samantha

    Glacier , you seniors are beautiful ... and I HAVE thought seriously about adopting a senior! I just wouldn't want to stress one out by bringing him into my herd. Would have to seriously work out a safety zone for him / her.

    SAMANTHA, you KNOW how much I love you!

    My cat Chaucer just turned 14 on Thanksgiving day. Here is a picture of him with my guinea pig Paco.

    Isn't that gorgeous, the cat and GP together. My cat could never tolerate GPs.

    My former neighbor has a cat that would have been about 21 in March but I haven't seen either of them lately so don't know if kitty is still with them.

    So, so far it looks like Speckles takes the Grand Matriarch status at 18+ and Fluffy gets the Grand Patriarch status at an estimated 18.

    Seems there is quite the fight for the 16-17 year old status. When it comes down to whose birthday is when, you know you've got a close one. I don't know Peanut's exact date of birth, but she was about 8 weeks old during Christmas of '88 which would put her at just 17 recently.

    I can't believe how well Samantha is holding up. She doesn't appear to have started the severe aging that I noticed in Tubby and that I can see in Twicket (because I know what to look for). I believe she will live to a ripe old age, which hopefully all the matriarchs and patriarchs will do!

    Interesting though, how there seem to be so many more elderly ladies than gentleman here. Wonder if cats are like people and the ladies have a longer life span than the men?

    Speckles, I would love for you to keep my sweatshirts warm for me. And I have a spot on the couch that would fit you perfectly, and one on the bed too, so come on down sweety!

    Unfortunately we don't know how old any of our cats are since they were all rescues, either feral or tames.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    I got Bo as a baby (about six weeks old) in December of 1989, so he just turned 16. I think he is aging remarkable well. He does need help now with his grooming, but then again he has always had that thicker undercoat. He will look ratty if I don't comb his fur for him. He still jumps very well and has no problem jumping up on my lap or onto beds. He is even gaining a little weight back (in his belly) after his hyperthyroidism treatment in August 2004. I sure love him lots, and he is a very affectionate cat.
