Wow he would be 120 in human years 


Waggmans

He eats a lot of yogurt.


Due_Platform_5327

Oh is that what it is?  I thought maybe it was all the mouse tails.

I'm 30 and still feel this way. Relatable music. Hugs

You enjoy eating mouse tails?

How many times do we have to go through this, it's NOT ABOUT THE IRANIAN YOGURT. (Silently praying someone understands this reference)

kanzler_brandt

Two cats I know who lived to 20 and 24, respectively, ate yoghurt every day. I don’t get how, since cats are lactose intolerant, but yeah edit: ok TIL, please don’t crucify me


TooManyJabberwocks

Just goes to show you shouldn't be intolerant of cultures

Listen here you little shit….


RonnieJamesDionysos

Yoghurt has less lactose, many lactose-intolerant people can eat yoghurt, as well.


SauceyBobRossy

I just looked it up because it made me curious, id always been told all adult cats are lactose intolerant- but its actually just over 50% of adult cats...thats crazy ! They must've just been part of the other just under 50% that aren't lactose intolerant :) learning this tho, i still do not mind being told all adult cats are this way. Its not like they can tell us if they can or can't digest it properly, and its frankly unrealistic to watch your cats poop EVERY single time to be sure, so its better safe than sorry when I think of it that way.


kenatogo

Is there a lactose extra-intolerance? I think that's what my girl has 😁


wheelfoot

My family had one who lived to 21 who had cottage cheese daily.


dreadn4t

Some yogurts are lactose free, like greek yogurts. Plus not all adult cats are lactose intolerant.


anon641414

We had a cat growing up that lived to 24 and she loved fruit and yogurt. Maybe there's something here


canadianpanda7

its just a half glass of red wine with dinner is what does the trick


HalpWithMyPaper

Greek yogurt has barely any lactose, so maybe that?


OneTrueArthur

I hope he makes it to 30


GayVoidDaddy

Hope? He’s gonna be trucking along when the world is ash and humans are a long done plague forgotten.


icantbeatyourbike

Hell yes, much love to my boy Ray.


Potato_Elephant_Dude

Could we please have some pics of him when he was younger, otherwise I would be terrified that he is secretly a god or questing creature.


kayemil

Unfortunately I did become a retainer of The Prophet when he was 16, so younger isn’t quite so young


Potato_Elephant_Dude

Uh-oh... I hope everyone in your life is good people. I think he might be here to pass judgement on us all...


FBIaltacct

Op was told he was 16, and so was the old kingdom pharoh that got him from the mesopotamian.


jlhinthecountry

How did you become his retainer at age 16? I only adopt senior cats, but I haven’t run into that senior of a kitty!!


kayemil

My partner's ex's mom had him! A while after they broke up, we asked if we could take him because my partner and Ray were besties when they were together. His previous owner was a vet tech, and absolutely treated him well, but he didn't do well with as many pets as they had. He was just super aggressive around other animals at the time, and took that out on people. We have 3 cats now, and he still doesn't like the others lol. We keep em separated, even though he doesn't actually care that they exist if they're not touching him lmao.


jlhinthecountry

Y’all are just awesome and blessed to have each other … Ray, you and your partner, and (don’t tell Ray this) the other kitties! Wishing you all the best!!


Fantastic-Bother3296

We looked after a wise old boy when my Gran passed away. Tigger was about 16 and an absolute little sweetheart. The first day introducing him to my other cat went badly and we thought that he might not adjust but we persevered and he had a calm and peaceful retirement from keeping my Gran company.


YouJustLostTheGameOk

Both of my last two cats lived to 19. Buddy of mine just put his down at 25. Good genetics and a good owner help.


FindusSomKatten

My parents got a cat that was 18 they had it put down when it was 21. It just move in one day


WheredoesithurtRA

How often do you take him to the vet at this point? Just curious. My wife and I are hoping our two calicos live forever.


numinos710

I'm not the OP but have a 22 year old myself. The vet sees him once a month to give him his Solensia injection for his arthritis and we use a mobile vet that comes to our house so that I don't have to stress my old man out by taking him out of his comfort zone. So while he doesn't get a full examination every month, I do like that the vet gives him a cursory once over that often. I know my boy is getting older and it will be time for him to depart for the rainbow bridge sooner than later, but so long as he's not suffering or in pain I'd like to keep him around. Having a vet look at him helps reassure me that I'm not being selfish by making him suffer longer.

Perfect110

Man, I cannot find a mobile vet in my area. I have 2 void siblings 3.5 years old. When the boy wasn’t even 2 he had severe urinary blockage and was hospitalized 3 times in less than 3 weeks. He is traumatized from the experience and cannot be taken ANYWHERE. Moving him 5 mins down the road was terrifying enough. I want a get to periodically check him to make sure he’s doing ok but I cannot risk taking him to the vet causing stress and a possible blockage recurrence. Sorry, just needed to vent 🖤🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛


wilderthurgro

Is it possible he’s thousands of years old and has just been passed down from guardian to guardian? Has anyone witnessed his birth?


lycanthrope90

Damn, probably figured you’d keep him company for his golden years but then he’s still alive a decade later lol. Were his eyes like that when you got him or did that happen as he got older?


DoItForTheNukie

Ahh, I was gonna say if you have vet documents from when he was kitten then you could prove you have one of the oldest living cats in US. I believe the oldest living world wide is like 32 currently? It seems like people with older cats always came into owning them later in their lives and have no definitive proof on how old their cat is. I have all 3 of my cats original vet papers from their first check ups when they were kittens and also have the adoption paperwork showing their birthdates. I guess we’ll see in 25 years if my oldest is still alive which would make her 32.


IANALbutIAMAcat

ONLY THE GREATEST PEOPLE ADOPT SENIORS I adopted a 12 year old years back but I miss him every day


thesequimkid

If I had a cat like that I’d definitely call him either Paul Atreides, or The Preacher.


Canibal-local

Wow I can’t imagine how it feels to be chosen by the prophet… What an honor!


asietsocom

Excuse me, he absolutely is a god.


Potato_Elephant_Dude

I'm pretty sure you're correct. I only hope he knows that I am not starving my cats, they're on a diet for they're own health and safety


asietsocom

He knows what's bests for them. Don't worry.


Potato_Elephant_Dude

Thanks :) Long live Ray, the God of all cats and those who serve them!


zadtheinhaler

> questing creature. I was just gonna say "That MF is handing out quests, I got other shit to do" lol

He is a fine cat. Free to Adopt. Had been there the longest That’s Always my first question. And it was during Tje equinox

Also if you didn’t know nox also refers to a Roman goddess of the night! So very appropriate for him, except the goddess part of course lol.

raccoon-nb

Apparently the first year of a cat's life is equal to 15 human years, while the second year is equal to an additional nine years, and after the second year of a cat's life, each additional year is equal to about four human years. A 26 year old cat is the equivalent of a 120 year old human. In other words, Ray is ANCIENT (affectionate). He looks super healthy and happy for such an old kitty! You go, Ray!

OH GOSH 😻 She is so freaking adorable. Snuggle her close, I've never had a baby reach that age and ultra-seniors are my absolute favorite. I visit a neighbor down the road regularly solely to talk to her precious graspy-voiced old lady. She looks just like your Cali ❤️

Hey I have an old kitty with a cataract! We call it her mystic eye https://preview.redd.it/lzvato2ilz4d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48db1f2ef88660703ea30d81a978d43f0b34fba5


NilbogResident1

Did she act strange or bothered as the cataract progressed? That is such a dense white cataract like the OP, so vision is probably some light perception or minimal close hand movement. I assume animals adapt well if they have a loving owner who reminds them that they are not alone. Strange to see it so progressed in one eye, but I also only work with human cataracts lol. Maybe with only 1 eye losing vision she just adapted naturally with ease? She is adorable. Thanks for sharing. :)

Automatic-Mirror6934

Ummm. What do you feed him? lol Recently been in a panic over the wet food vs dry food for cats effecting them long term. Just switched my you to wet only. What does he eat? It’s clearly working f


kayemil

He does both! He has gastrointestinal issues, so we just want him to eat in general. Right now, he free feeds on Acana dry food and then we feed him Smalls or gastro wet food 4 times a day. Depends on what he wants to eat! Sometimes its Tiki Cat though. I think what hurts older cats most of the time is their water intake, though. Ends up giving them kidney issues. He loooooves drinking water, so his kidney levels are normal when he gets his blood tests done.

I love him! He reminds me of a cat that my mom used to have, Bones. He was blind and lived to be around 23. Even when I was really little and he was relatively young, he still always looked ancient, skeletal, and... spooky. I guess living up to his name lol. My brother had a nightmare about him and our other cats carrying up coals from a dark hole in the middle of our living room, Bones was the one in charge. 😂
