We had a family cat who born in our home and lived her entire life with us. She died five weeks before her twenty-first birthday which would have made her an equivalent of 101 years old. She was very nearsighted and a bit arthritic but she did catch a bird when she was 19. She sat in the yard as a mockingbird divebombed her repeatedly. On something like the sixth or seventh pass - the bird approached from behind and ruffled the fur on her head each time - she spun around and grabbed the very surprised bird. She was so fast! I still miss her 15 years after she died. She was a great cat.
