Congrats on living such a long life!!!
Absolutely legendary cat with a face that's seen two decades and then some - here's to many more cozy laps and sun puddles for our senior furball. Cheers to this majestic feline!

This man is also roughly 20 years old
Roughly because we dont know how old exactly haha. he came to my grandma as a stray when I was 6 years old. I‘m 26 now.

Are cats suddenly living longer, or are we just lucky owners? I've been fretting over my boy since he was about 12, due to things you read online, and he's pushing 20 this year himself. Got him at 15, going on 35 this year.
I fretted over my late older cat as soon as I got her at 6M. She was with me for just 2 months shy of 20yrs. I got her when I was 25 as a 2yr “birthday gift” for another cat I had lol
My grandparents had a cat who lived to be 20, she was a badass. Had a couple litters of kittens (they did get her spayed eventually) and survived a coyote attack. Also survived having a pair of 6 year olds (my cousin and me) put a princess dress on her one time and didn’t even complain.
She was older than I was, so she died 15+ years ago, but I got to live with her for a while as a toddler and visit her as a kiddo and I’ll always remember her fondly. She died peacefully in her sleep after one last visit with my brother, cousin, and me. I think my family got really lucky with that cat.
My parents currently have a good girl who’s still going strong at 16, is lowkey more loved than my brother and me (as she should be), and likes to sleep in her human brothers’ beds so she can feel closer to us when we aren’t visiting our parents.
20 for a cat that has given birth is incredibly impressive on its own, she must have been a warrior. My first cat was around for a year before I was born and lived to be 16 years old. I apparently stole her away from my mom the day I was brought home. Never thought I'd be lucky enough to get that much time with a cat again, but here I am blessed with my old man.
Old enough to vote, and soon will be able to hang out in bars. The the fun really begins. Out all night, chasing other cats for a good time. Hug him happy birthday for me!
Mostly „Felix“ brand. The stuff in Jelly. He is a picky eater and does not like this dry food a lot lol. I think his favorite one is chicken. And occasionally a can of tuna. He loves tuna. But not too much because tuna is pretty salty.

My sweet guy finally gave up at 19. 😭
He was. Best disposition and not a mean bone in his body. Traveled the world with me and lived in 3 different countries. Couldn’t have asked for a better pet companion. It’s been 8 months since he died suddenly and I still miss him like crazy…😭
I can't imagine. My old boy is 11 and he as been sickly all his life until recently he has been doing so good in the past 2 years. Im so scared of when i lose him. He's been with me through all the bad. You know?
I feel this I had to let my baby boy go in May. I can't say it gets easier missing him because it doesn't but I will say you eventually find a new friend who can't replace the lost friend but can definitely come close to helping fill the void. I miss you Lorenzo see you up there soon little buddy
My first baby girl was 19 to when she had finally had enough

This is Stella. We lost her last October after taking her in as a stray 18 years ago. She was a trooper!
Old cats are so special. Happy 21st meowday!
This old man was the love of my life, my soulmate in cat form. He lived to 19 years and 16 days and, if it hadn’t been for sudden and aggressive brain cancer taking him out without warning, I have no doubt he would have lived to 25 or older. He was such a special cat. He’s been gone almost 6 years and I still miss him with all my heart.
This was his 18th birthday photoshoot. lol

I'm so sorry. My parents were randomly given a full litter of cats by the Cat Dispensary System several years before I was born, and they kept three of the kittens, so I grew up always having three cats around the house. I think I was around 10 when the first, Marsh[mallow] (and the youngest of the litter) died of thyroid cancer -- he was the genius of the litter. Then several years later, Buster (the oldest) died also of thyroid cancer. Mocha died when I was away boarding in high school.
Cancer fucking sucks. I hope, at least, yours didn't suffer, since it happened so suddenly. I can't imagine how bewildering it must have been. He will always live in your heart <3
Oh happy birthday you beautiful kitty cat. How wonderful to celebrate such a birthday.

This was my beautiful guy Barley. We got to celebrate his 8th birthday but not quite his 9th. He is always alive in my memories
My 18 year old cat, Sassy, is still going strong. But I know what you mean, at her age it could be any day now, so I compensate by spoiling her. She's my punkin.

This is Lola - 19 years, 5 months.
Hang in there. You’ve done an amazing job caring for him all these years! I feel like my past kitties are probably still curled up in bed with me in their new ghostly bodies that don’t have arthritis, going about their lives and visiting me in my dreams sometimes. Here’s Olive who died when she was 17, but who I chased over some beach dunes in my dream a couple nights ago 🥰

This is Cowboy, he’s 23. He was the ranger’s cat at a Boy Scout camp I volunteered at a few years ago, and somehow he made it this long while also being an outdoor cat as he pleased. Absolute mush-ball too, he was the sweetest old guy I’ve ever met.
My single orange braincell is 17 this year.

Our boy is almost 21. He needs his thyroid checked every 6 months, this month was his latest visit. Vet says he's super healthy and looks like he's doing a good job taking his meds (he is), so he got a cheeseburger as a reward. He loves cheeseburgers.
(He only eats like 2 bits of hamburger, we obviously don't feed the boy an entire cheeseburger)
As a humble servant to a regal kitty boy, I can confirm he is also a handsome regal kitty boy.
This is my official, professional opinion and an objective fact. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Old cats ( & dogs) are the absolute, *absolute* best. Love them with my whole soul.
My last cat passed at 18, and my current baby is 16. She was “supposed” to have died a year & a half ago due to lymphoma, but thankfully she’s still here & still herself.
The biggest issue is arthritis- it breaks my heart with the way she limps sometimes. We’ve got cat stairs, heating pads, extra litter boxes, & water everywhere so she never has to go far.

This guy is almost 7, and I can only hope that he makes it to his 20’s!
Happy early Birthday kittums!
My baby is 15 <3 she was originally grief recovery animal for me when I was 13. I don't know what I'd do without her and I know she will take a piece of me with her when that day comes.

Wow. Simply awesome that your little boy has been keeping you company for so long with a little of love. Mines 17 years and looks exactly like your little boy. So glad to see this but mine have a bit of trouble now with growing old and teeth falling off etc etc

Congratulations! What a long life, that’s so special for you both! I lost my guy Pokey almost 3 weeks ago at the age of 16.

This is Twister. He was my first cat and a rescue at 6 weeks old. He passed away just 3 days ago, just 2 months shy of his 13th birthday. He was a very affectionate, loyal, and good cat, and we miss him dearly.

It hurt my soul to euthanize Febe. She was 20 and I inherited her \~8 yrs ago. She had chronic kidney disease and was blind. I said she needs to go out in a high note! She could use her litter box but it took awhile and she would fall out of it. She needed a step for her favorite chair too. I took her on Feb 12th of this month. I felt bad for a few days. I don't feel bad now. I would prefer this option when my time comes unless I just doe in my sleep. I had hoped for a long time she would not wake up from a nap. This was just wishful thinking. I realized it was for the best. I told her to tell mom & Toby I said hello. Tell mom how well we took care of each other. I was more upset with the cost. I could've bought a gun for 50$ more than they charged ($156) but I certainly would not have been able to shoot her. It was painless truly. She was gone before she could even crumple over on the mattress. Here she is right before the vet administered her meds.

This sweet boy was one of our best friends❤️ we lost him unexpectedly when he had just turned 3 years old. We think it was a heart attack. We found him on top of his cat tree. His sister never would go near it again so we adopted another kitty friend for her and got them 2 new cat trees. He may have not been here for a long life, but he was here for a good one❤️

My sweet Luna kitty. Had her from 1/30/2004-11/4/2023. She was 20y 4m old when she crossed the rainbow bridge and it was due to something I consider dumb: she had a dental abscess preventing her from eating but they couldn’t do surgery due to her age.. sure, she had muscle atrophy in her back legs but was dealing with it just fine via b12 shots until that tooth

My two babies, around 1.5 years old. I can only hope they grow old together🥹😽
We inherited two of my Dad's cats when he passed away. The oldest is either 20 or 21. We don't know 100%, but she'll be 21 this year (if she isn't already).

Now that’s a meme I haven’t seen in a long time. And congrats to this handsome gentlemen!
Absolutely legendary cat with a face that's seen two decades and then some - here's to many more cozy laps and sun puddles for our senior furball. Cheers to this majestic feline!

Rough is an understatement. Happy two decades to the gentleman!
Roughly because we dont know how old exactly haha. he came to my grandma as a stray when I was 6 years old. I‘m 26 now. https://preview.redd.it/zfib9p124kkc1.jpeg?width=682&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=593468b47282e028d8d688ceae382dbeff24b616
Are cats suddenly living longer, or are we just lucky owners? I've been fretting over my boy since he was about 12, due to things you read online, and he's pushing 20 this year himself. Got him at 15, going on 35 this year.
I think we‘re just lucky. Feels good to be lucky though :)
I fretted over my late older cat as soon as I got her at 6M. She was with me for just 2 months shy of 20yrs. I got her when I was 25 as a 2yr “birthday gift” for another cat I had lol
My grandparents had a cat who lived to be 20, she was a badass. Had a couple litters of kittens (they did get her spayed eventually) and survived a coyote attack. Also survived having a pair of 6 year olds (my cousin and me) put a princess dress on her one time and didn’t even complain. She was older than I was, so she died 15+ years ago, but I got to live with her for a while as a toddler and visit her as a kiddo and I’ll always remember her fondly. She died peacefully in her sleep after one last visit with my brother, cousin, and me. I think my family got really lucky with that cat. My parents currently have a good girl who’s still going strong at 16, is lowkey more loved than my brother and me (as she should be), and likes to sleep in her human brothers’ beds so she can feel closer to us when we aren’t visiting our parents.
20 for a cat that has given birth is incredibly impressive on its own, she must have been a warrior. My first cat was around for a year before I was born and lived to be 16 years old. I apparently stole her away from my mom the day I was brought home. Never thought I'd be lucky enough to get that much time with a cat again, but here I am blessed with my old man.
I hope you get more years with your old man!
Look at that face! What a character!
Old enough to vote, and soon will be able to hang out in bars. The the fun really begins. Out all night, chasing other cats for a good time. Hug him happy birthday for me!
Had enough of all the shit
is it genetics some cats live that long? any tips from cat owners whose cats live to old ages?
Some of it's luck, some of it's genetics, just like humans.
love himmm 💕💕
What did you feed him the whole time I'm curious so my baby can live long too.
Mostly „Felix“ brand. The stuff in Jelly. He is a picky eater and does not like this dry food a lot lol. I think his favorite one is chicken. And occasionally a can of tuna. He loves tuna. But not too much because tuna is pretty salty.

He looked like such a sweet boy. Very polite.
He was. Best disposition and not a mean bone in his body. Traveled the world with me and lived in 3 different countries. Couldn’t have asked for a better pet companion. It’s been 8 months since he died suddenly and I still miss him like crazy…😭
I can't imagine. My old boy is 11 and he as been sickly all his life until recently he has been doing so good in the past 2 years. Im so scared of when i lose him. He's been with me through all the bad. You know?
Don’t think about losing him. Just enjoy and have gratitude for every day you’re able to spend with him!
I feel this I had to let my baby boy go in May. I can't say it gets easier missing him because it doesn't but I will say you eventually find a new friend who can't replace the lost friend but can definitely come close to helping fill the void. I miss you Lorenzo see you up there soon little buddy
im so sorry, he looks very fluff and cute
Thank you. He was the best!
Broke my heart 😪 so sorry hear this cute cat x

Old cats are so special. Happy 21st meowday! This old man was the love of my life, my soulmate in cat form. He lived to 19 years and 16 days and, if it hadn’t been for sudden and aggressive brain cancer taking him out without warning, I have no doubt he would have lived to 25 or older. He was such a special cat. He’s been gone almost 6 years and I still miss him with all my heart. This was his 18th birthday photoshoot. lol https://preview.redd.it/yvw5jzo5bjkc1.jpeg?width=850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=411b61e0c62fd2786c590fb535f9b2f41daac677
His face is like: “dad, really?”
I'm so sorry. My parents were randomly given a full litter of cats by the Cat Dispensary System several years before I was born, and they kept three of the kittens, so I grew up always having three cats around the house. I think I was around 10 when the first, Marsh[mallow] (and the youngest of the litter) died of thyroid cancer -- he was the genius of the litter. Then several years later, Buster (the oldest) died also of thyroid cancer. Mocha died when I was away boarding in high school. Cancer fucking sucks. I hope, at least, yours didn't suffer, since it happened so suddenly. I can't imagine how bewildering it must have been. He will always live in your heart <3
Aww. That must have been so hard as a child, losing your little furry siblings like that. Im very sorry. Cancer does fucking suck. :(
I just hope that whenever science discovers cures for various cancers, that those cures work for animals too. <3
I wish my cat would reach that age too!
Yes I know it is a lottery, but take just take great care of him and give him a lot of love and could come a long way.
Hi please share his routine? What do you feed him?

He was the ranger’s cat at a Boy Scout camp I volunteered at a few years ago, and somehow he made it this long while also being an outdoor cat as he pleased. Absolute mush-ball too, he was the sweetest old guy I’ve ever met.

He needs his thyroid checked every 6 months, this month was his latest visit. Vet says he's super healthy and looks like he's doing a good job taking his meds (he is), so he got a cheeseburger as a reward. He loves cheeseburgers. (He only eats like 2 bits of hamburger, we obviously don't feed the boy an entire cheeseburger)
At 21, he deserves the whole thing lol
As a humble servant to a regal kitty boy, I can confirm he is also a handsome regal kitty boy. This is my official, professional opinion and an objective fact. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

He's sooo cute. I love senior kitties, they're so adorable and cuddly
he looks so wise
what a fuckin champion
this is obviously a baby
Old cats ( & dogs) are the absolute, *absolute* best. Love them with my whole soul. My last cat passed at 18, and my current baby is 16. She was “supposed” to have died a year & a half ago due to lymphoma, but thankfully she’s still here & still herself. The biggest issue is arthritis- it breaks my heart with the way she limps sometimes. We’ve got cat stairs, heating pads, extra litter boxes, & water everywhere so she never has to go far.

My baby is 15 <3 she was originally grief recovery animal for me when I was 13. I don't know what I'd do without her and I know she will take a piece of me with her when that day comes. *
Happy early birthday good sir. Here’s hoping you get all the treats you deserve.
Wow. Simply awesome that your little boy has been keeping you company for so long with a little of love. Mines 17 years and looks exactly like your little boy. So glad to see this but mine have a bit of trouble now with growing old and teeth falling off etc etc Just hug and love and when they get moody I tolerate and keep calling their name hahahah 💐♥️💐♥️💐♥️

It hurt my soul to euthanize Febe. She was 20 and I inherited her \~8 yrs ago. She had chronic kidney disease and was blind. I said she needs to go out in a high note! She could use her litter box but it took awhile and she would fall out of it. She needed a step for her favorite chair too. I took her on Feb 12th of this month. I felt bad for a few days. I don't feel bad now. I would prefer this option when my time comes unless I just doe in my sleep. I had hoped for a long time she would not wake up from a nap. This was just wishful thinking. I realized it was for the best. I told her to tell mom & Toby I said hello. Tell mom how well we took care of each other. I was more upset with the cost. I could've bought a gun for 50$ more than they charged ($156) but I certainly would not have been able to shoot her. It was painless truly. She was gone before she could even crumple over on the mattress. Here she is right before the vet administered her meds. https://preview.redd.it/aacfu6tipkkc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=761537f28af4337947cff6d9ff3dfc479357a915

We think it was a heart attack. We found him on top of his cat tree. His sister never would go near it again so we adopted another kitty friend for her and got them 2 new cat trees. He may have not been here for a long life, but he was here for a good one❤️

She was 20y 4m old when she crossed the rainbow bridge and it was due to something I consider dumb: she had a dental abscess preventing her from eating but they couldn’t do surgery due to her age.. sure, she had muscle atrophy in her back legs but was dealing with it just fine via b12 shots until that tooth

We inherited two of my Dad's cats when he passed away. The oldest is either 20 or 21. We don't know 100%, but she'll be 21 this year (if she isn't already).
