How old were your cats when you got them & how old are they now?

Filou: got him at 16 weeks, now 9 years
Tigris: got him at 13 weeks, now 9 years

Tigris is 3 weeks younger than Filou and I got him one day earlier.

Tigris spent his first day sitting in the open carrier before he decided to come out.
He used the litterbox first after 11 hours in the house- of course it was a big big lake then and slept the first night in our bed on top of the covers.

Filou came one day later, jumped out of the carrier and started immediately to investigate all rooms and nooks saying: That's all mine

Fister was a little over a year old when we got him - but he was born in our backyard where he lived with his sister and mother. He is now 8. Oh my, how time flies!!

Both Trevor and Andy were eight weeks old when I got them. With Andy we are sure because the owner of his mom told me his birth date (April 4th). With Trevor it was the vet's best guess. Trevor is now 11 years old and Andy is 8.

Terra was 12 weeks and she'll be 5 years on the 4th (a fireworks baby!)

Misao was roughly 1 and 1/2 years and she's roughly 5 now.

Hana, we think was 10 when we adopted her which would make her 13ish in October.

Bopth my boys were around 10 weeks old when I got them.... Allen is now 3, Pouncer is now 1. My boys are both still young men!

Tigger and her brother Tony (RB 1993 - 1999) I got when they were 4 months old. Tony was going to be 6 the year he died and Tigger is still going strong and just turned 11 years old this year.

Smokey was a rescue from a garbage can. We really thought him to be about 4-6 weeks old because he was so small but as it turned out he was 5-6 months old it was just that he was so malnourished. Smokey is now 10 years old and huge (17 lbs).

Tucker was an adult cat that showed up at the door. Someone did not want her anymore and the closest we can figure her to be is around 18 years old....and still as fiesty as a kitten when she wants to be.

Mystic was also a throw away and had been fixed by her previous owners. She is now 4 years old.

Abner followed a dog to my house when he was about 6 months old and he is now 3 years old.

Ginger was eight months old when we adopted her from the Humane Society, she is now 15.
Louis was 10 weeks old when we adopted him from a pet store, he is 14 now.
Krissy came to us 9 years ago (as a stray), we are not sure how old she was, but probably under a year old.
Our beautiful RB cat, Patty, came to us as a stray nearly 20 years ago; she passed on last December, we were never sure how old she was.

Saphirah - She was my husband's kitty before we married. I think he got her around 8 weeks. When we married, she was about a year old. Now she is 5 years old.

Chloe - We adopted her from the shelter at about 10 months old. She is now 4 years old.

Samson - He moved in under our house, and eventually moved inside. Our vet at the time (hubby's sister), said he was somewhere between 4 and 7 years old. That would make him now somewhere between 5 and 8 years old. (Funny--We asked the vet tech at our new vet's office how old she though Samson might be and she guessed 1 1/2 years. We know that's not right because we've had him for 1 1/2 years and he was grown when he came to live with us! )

Buddy was 4months when we got him and now he´s 10months

[nibblets]

The vet concluded that Julie was about 3-4 mos old when we got her. We don't know for sure because she was a rescued stray that we adopted.
We will have her a year on Aug 3rd so she is just about a year old now.

I feel pretty stupid. Just the other day, I found Chuck's birth certificate and he is two years younger than I thought he was. I got him when he was about 6 weeks old and he just turned 10 on May 18th. What a bad meowmie!! At least I can look forward to a couple more years with him that I was not previously counting on.

[bluekat]

We got Blueberry when he was 8 weeks old and tomorrow he will be turning 2

Wow, time sure goes by very quickly!

[lizzielou742]

I got Tito at about 2.5 months old and now he's 8 months old.

The vet guessed Sophie was 4 -5 weeks old when we got her, so that would make her about 3 months old now.

I'm so lucky!

[Kirsten]

I got Luna at the age of 6 weeks and 2 days - way too young, but her first family wanted to get rid of the kittens. Now she's 4 years and 2 months old.

Lily was 11 weeks when I brought her home, and now she's one year + one month!
