    That’s awesome. We’ve had one get to 20, and at least one to 19, but more than 20 is pretty rare regardless of the record. I believe they say average is between 13 and 20. My current cat is 15, but was recently diagnosed with kidney disease, which is a life shortener generally (super common in cats).

      my old lady is 17, and my new guy is only 13. My old lady has next to nothing wrong with her. She has some arthritis, and she has FORL, but her blood work is perfect. My young man’s health is perfect too. They’re both pictures of health!

      I hope i get many many more years with both of them.

      My old kitty is turning 20 next week. She’s got a myriad of medical problems and really bad arthritis. I don’t think I have much time left with her, but I’ve also thought that off and on the past few years…
