Molly's mom, too!
The cats in throughout my life passed on for different reasons:
Paddy had leukemia and died when he was a few years old. This was before the vaccine was available.
His his mother Cricket, his sister CC, and CC's daughter Cocoa all lived long, happy lives (18+ years) before passing naturally.
Katie died from kidney failure after a short illness.
Samantha got lost outside and never returned. She was only 2, and I have many regrets about her disappearance.

Sable, the first cat I knew as a pet, left our family when he was about 15. He had Cancer.
Nike, he was hit by a car (that swerved into our yard!!).
Chance, he dissapeared last October. I hope he's alive and well, but my gut instinct tells me he is gone.

Well, first of all let me say that the poll looks more encouraging now regarding the viral diseases. Many cats have been mentioned here that were 18 years or older, and that's a very long life!
manda_moo87, I was once told by a vet that heart diseases in cats are more common than they used to think all the time.
catmandu, you have lost so many already!
Kona & Oreo's mom, has Paddy been exposed to his mother and sister when he was sick? Just curious because they didn't seem to have picked it up from him then!
ramanth, I'm so sorry about Chance!!

I can't vote because Ripley is my first ever cat and thank goodness he is still alive but I think this is a very interesting thread/poll Kirsten.

Smokey the Elder died of cancer. She was probably quite old; I was never sure how old she was when I adopted her in 1993. She had had numerous litters. The vet suggested she was 10 in 1996; so she may have been as old as 13. She was such a sweetie.

jazzcat, and I hope that experience will still be many many years away from you!
Smokey the Elder must have been such a special cat! Did you adopt her from a shelter?
