Cats age

What is the age of your oldest cat (still living or not). My parents had a cat that lived 19 years.

I think Bonkers was 16 when he died. He was such a great kitty! My parents got him as a sort of wedding present, so he was there before me! Mom said he used to help look after me, b/c if I started crying he would run and find my mom to make sure she was coming to check on me. He was a huge blue persian, and such a sweet heart!

I don't have any cats that old (Leo is 4, Gracie is between 18 months-2 years), but one of my Aunt's cats was 22 when she died!

Oldest was 19.5 so I clicked wrong... currently oldest is 17.5 ...

My mom still has her cat "Beets" that we got when I was 15...He's about 16 now. Mine are all 10 and under.

The oldest cat we ever had was a black DSH named Misty. She lived to be 21 years old..we had to have her put down

Just got Beavis but he is 18 yrs old-- and doing good-- got a slight limp on his rear right leg but we are going to the vet sometime this weektoget it checked out and to get a CBC Blood Chem done to check everything else out before our move next month

We got our Pirate in 1969, when he was 2, and he died in 1990, so he was about 23. Putzi, our neighbor's cat, showed up at our front door in a blizzard in February, 1987. She was full grown at the time. She had to be rehomed because she kept attacking our dog, who wouldn't defend himself. She's got to be at least 19. At present, she sleeps, eats, and uses her litter box, but that's about it. She has meandered over here three times in the past week for cuddles and treats, though.
Jamie will be 7 in April, and ZsaZsa (our half cat; we share her with Putzi's mom) will be 7 in August.

My Snoopy lived to be 20 years old. He passed on to the Bridge in February of this year.

My oldest living cat is Shane and he's 8 years old, now. SunLee just turned 4 and Simba is 2 1/2 years old.

It seems that more and more cats are making it into their late teens and early twenties. I saw something about a 43 year old cat but heard there were verification problems. I also have heard of cats making it into there late twenties and early 30s. Anybody every personally see this?

My very first cat is still going strong at 20 years old - although she lives next door with my old neighbours in Scotland. She hasn't lived with us for 17 years - she moved next door when she took umbrage at having two new cats to keep her company. She preferred it there anyway - bigger garden to hunt "things" in!

I just lost my Princess a couple months ago at the age of 17.

What if it's lower than that? Lol I have bad luck when it comes to animals, liver shunts, heart murmurs, hips dysplasia (dog) you name it. I think my oldest cat was around 8 years old. My oldest dog is still living at 14 but he's the only one that's lasted this long.

We had to PTS my hubby's last cat, Rip (her actual name, not epitaph). She was a lovely love bug. Used to follow me round and harrass me for attention. Softest fur I've ever felt on a cat.
I know of someone who's cat is 23, and still going strong.

Charlotte is the first cat I've ever adopted and she is only 3 1/2 years old. I hope she is around for at least 15 or more years! Oh and Izzie too who is a little younger.

Kiki was 20 when we had to have her put to sleep last year. I still miss her sleeping above my head on the headboard. She was our feral that I tamed.

My other cats are 10, 1 1/2, and the 3 kittens are 17 weeks old.

My cats are both four. But i had read an interesting page on long lived cats, and the oldest verified was 36!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 43 year old was not, as stated earlier by..... touro i think, verified. But it may have been true. But thirty-six!!!! soon they will live as long as humans!!!!!!!! well maybe not , but their spans are looking up.

My Old Lady Shasta (RB) lived to 21+

Katie's my oldest at 12 1/2. She's started to slow down a little bit but has no health problems and still plays like a kitten at times. I hope we have many more years together.
