she is 25?

[Roon]

My ex-lover claimed that he got her when he was 15...I just can't imagine a kitty cat living so long. My ex gave her to me when he moved out. I don't care how old she is, she is my baby girl!

1. I think he must have been wrong.

25 is ridiculously old for a cat, so I wouldn't believe it. Gorgeous girl though. :loveya:

2. My mother has a 20 year old cat that still jumps on counters and chases pit bulls.

I don't think she'd win if she caught him, though.

Some cats, rarely, live to be 30. My neighbor has one that's over 20, though I'm not sure how old. He looks like a dirty dishtowel you'd find stuffed under a couch, but he still gets around.

6. My kittey eats and sleeps

that is all she does.She is always there for her bologna and her sliced cheese though.

11. This cat stayed outside during Katrina.

She snuck out somehow, and they didn't discover this until the hurricane was nearly over. This is about ten miles from the beach, and the eye passed over the house. Apparently when they finally let her in, she ran and hid under a bench and didn't come out for a couple of days. Though I saw her Sunday, and she's finally slowing down a little.

My mother works at a vet's, and the vet talked her into getting an exam. They were convinced that an outdoor cat her age would have all forms of parasites and diseases, but she was 100% clean.

So, who knows? It's easy to misremember a cat's age, add a year of two, but it's unlikely he said the cat was fifteen when she was really 8. So any way it goes, she's one senior catizen.

Not unheard of. :)

5. My first cat that I got when I was 11 lived till I was 36

so she was 25 when she died. Coincidentally, she was a calico, too.

7. calicos have been known to live a long time

i have no data on that, just people from this forum

[charlie and algernon]

10. my Calico is 5, it would awsome if she was still around when I'm in my 40s

[jobycom]

13. That would be nice.

That means my calico could be alive until I'm in my 60s!! I'll be sick of her by then. :rofl:

9. Our vet treated this cat

Granpa Breaks "Oldest Cat" World Record
It’s official. In mid-August, the Guinness Book of World Records confirmed that
Granpa, who appeared in the March 1997 Cat Fancy centerfold, was the world's
longest-living cat. Granpa, who died on April 1, 1998, lived to be 34 years,
two months and four hours. The previous record was 34 years and one day and had
been set in 1957 by a tabby from England.

couldn't find a picture

16. Cats can live that long.

I wouldn't rule it out. My mom had a cat named Sid Vicious who lived at least that long.
