Elderly kitties - Did you have one?

I just wondered what was the oldest cat you've had or have atm, just to get an idea of life spans. Our oldest was 17, but she did have melonoma, so she may have lived longer had she not gotten sick.

The oldest kitty I've ever had was Bootsie. We got him when I was 6 months old and he lived to be 22 1/2 years old. We had him PTS because he had a stroke and couldn't make it to the litter box unassisted, or even stand or walk anymore. My soul-mate kitty, Spooky, went to the Rainbow Bridge at the age of 17. My sister's Tuxedo kitty, Billy, went to the Bridge at the age of 18, and my parent's cat, Samson, went to the Bridge last Christmas Eve at the ripe old age of 19 1/2. I guess we've been lucky...our kitties have stayed with us for a good long time! With the exception of Bootsie, all of our kitties have been indoor only cats that have gotten yearly (at least) veterinary care (Billy, Spooky and Samson all were being treated for CRF at the end, so they were under nearly constant veterinary care.)

Now we have relatively young cats in our homes. My sister has Missy (9 years old) and I have Cleo (7 years old), Maggie (6 years old), and Lola (4 years old.) Cleo and Maggie are both CRF, so we visit the vet regularly.

Ours are still healthy with the oldest being 12, we haven't had any that have gone to the Rainbow Bridge yet

Katie is my first cat and my oldest at 14. She's healthy, active and quite mischievous.
My others are Gracie, 8, and littermates Peter and Claire who will be 3 in July.

Our oldest was Io and she passed quietly at age 13. Her mom, Astrid, made it to age 12.

My sister's cat, Packy, is over 10 and she is quite an active outdoor kitty. (With major attitude! )

my guys are my first cats of my own. raven and nabu just turned 10 on may 1st.

two seniors here, Dino and Pepsi both over 13 yrs

Pepsi is still like a kitten, she regularly catches things, bunnies & bugs as DH calls them. She loves a throw about with her crinkle toys and totally loves cat-nip parties

Dino is a bit more laid back, but thats his character, he does catch things but they are usually dead leaves or an old crisp packet he also loves his cat-nip parties too

Both got good results in their annual check up

My wonderful cat, SuLing was 17 when she passed away, but she had developed diabetes only 2 months prior to her passing and we could not get sugar regulated, or she probably would have lived to be 20 or older.

We now have Lady, who was 12 on her last birthday in May and the two wonderful kittens, Douglas and Deacon who are brothers and will be 1 year old in August.

P.S. Lady was adopted at 8 weeks old when SuLing was 7, and before the two kittens came was the only other cat Lady had ever been around. She grieved badly for over a year for her sister.

The 3 oldest cats I've had were 13 (first one), Spooky who died at 15 1/2 yrs old and Tax (will be 18 this July).

My dear little Fred was 18 when he went to the Bridge.

My Cajun is 12 this year, and Smudge is 10. They all get younger from there, the youngest being 2-ish. Not sure how old Bob is since he was a stray, but guessing anywhere from 6-10.

Frannie and Crystal are both turning 14 this year, not sure which month Frannie's b'day is though. Crystals b'day is July 14.

Winnie and Stormy are both 11 years old.

Our oldest cat lived to be 21 years old.

The oldest cat I have had was 15.

The oldest cat I have seen/met was 25. Now that's old!

The oldest cat I have had was 20, but I adopted her when she already 18 years old so I don't know if that counts.

I only adopt oldies (have adopted one youngster), the eldest has got to 15, the current two are 14 and 13. The oldest I have met in the flesh is 21, but know of 25year olds on forums.

Spike, my childhood kitty, lived to be 16.

And Tucson, who was 8 when we adopted him, lived to be 15. I miss him alot even though it's only been a year and a half.

There was a cat on our street that was 23 when she died. She was so sweet.

Currently, my oldest is 13, oldest I have had though was my Siamese, she was 19 when she passed away.

Nikko lived to 19.5yr s... He passed from CRF ( I was only 8)

Kandie lived to nearly 19 ( 5 weeks from) ... As much as I tried she too was lost to CRF
