My friends kitty, Groucho, who recently passed, was 19. Here is the thread before she passed. Pictures included on #15.

Oh yes my Miss Priss lived to be 21 1/2 years young.. She passed away before I started on PT..

My Pigeon aka Pidgelet and Pidge, is 18 1/2 and, aside from a brief allergy to paint last year, she's never had a sick day since I rescued her at age 2 1/2. She has the sweetest disposition and, considering her start in life, that's amazing. She was dumped in my yard when she was in labor. All of her kittens were born prematurely and died shortly thereafter. She had every worm, flea, tic and mite that you could name but w/good vet care and lots of love, we got her all fixed up and she's been comfy and cozy w/the Fur Posse ever since. She's the one who put Ms. Puddy in her place when I first brought Puddy home at 5 weeks old. She put her big lion paw on Puddy's head and held it to the floor until Puddy stopped hissing and carrying on. Pidgelet spends her days sleeping, eating and sunning, all the things a senior kitty has earned the right to do. Here are a couple of pix:

My mom's one cat, Ashley, lived to be 23. She was healthy up to the end except for a tumor that developed on her skull. Other than that, she had no diabetes problems, no thyroid issues, nothing! She was spunky and funny, and raced around the house like a mad woman! She had been a stray, but we took her in when she was about 2-4 years old. Ashley was an indoor only kitty.

My cat when I had from when I was 5 years old was named Corvette. She was an indoor/outdoor kitty as we lived on a farm. Corvette passed away at the age of 21. That is a grand old age for a farm cat!

My sweet widdle Tabitha turned 20 this past June! She was a barn kitty, living in my (then-boyfriend, now ex-husband's! ) parent's barn. She and I have been through A LOT in our days, and we have always been inseparable! She is my cuddle baby, my purr cat, but most of all, she is my heart kitty! She starts out the night curled up in my arm, and then moves to the side of my head and is there for the rest of the night, purring away. She wakes me whenever she feels the need for some fresh food in her bowl or a drink fromt eh bathroom sink.... never mind the time!

These days she sleeps most of the time. If she isn't on the bed then she is in my arms as I watch TV. I love my girl.... and I treasure each and every hour that we can spend together!

Jade, my tortoise shell cat lived to the age of 21. This picture was taken a few months before she passed away. I'm certain of her age too because I got her as a 7 week old kitten.

My Sam was 22 when he passed - and not only was he a purebred (Tonkinese), he'd been indoor-outdoor for most of his life he was quite mature when I first met him.

Love, Columbine
