So according to the chart, I have 2 juniors, 1 geriatric, and 8 who are in their prime. Very interesting.

Thanks for posting that, Maria!

Looks as though I have (of my own four) 1 Prime, 1 Mature, 1 Senior and 1 Geriatric. My RB cat was definitely Geriatric (he would have been 25 this year).

In regards to the four fosters 1 Junior or Prime (not quite sure - he's about 2-3), 2 Matures and 1 Geriatric.

Guess I love the older kitties.

Very interesting; that chart means Hannah, my 'old lady', and I are just about the same age! What does that makes me?!

So that means that:

Whisper and Bootser are both 84 years old (Geriatric)
BooBoo and Ms. Pepe are both 76 years old (Geriatric)
Amber Louise is 52 years old (Mature)
Mollipop is now almost 21 years old (Junior)
And Tabitha is probably around 2.5 years old (Still a little Kitten)

Good grief, four geriatric cats and a mature one. And then two youngsters. No wonder our Old Ladies (Whisper and Bootser) and especially BooBoo look at us sometimes like we've all lost our minds!

Your cat sounds like he could be my best friend! I'm 23 and act like I'm 90 sometimes! LOL!
