Hello Tom and Welcome to the greatest people and greatest site Pet Talk.

Over the years we've had cats live to 18 - 19 years old (my sister had a beauty who lived to 23 years old!!)
So you see your Ingrid is perhaps only middle aged!!!
I wish you many happy and loving years with her - your being such a good Dad - taking care of her and worrying over her!!!!

Any chance of pic., as Randi asked?
