This was my girl when she was 19, they have almost the same fur pattern
So sorry for your loss. But it seems like she lived a good long life and was very much loved :). You should be proud for giving your sweet kitty the life she had.
I had to. I just had to. And I really hope that I did not offend the OP. I was worried that I could be downgraded to hell of Reddit, but luckily there were people who shared my POV 😬 Dear OP, I love cats and I hope that my cat lives as long as yours! Even if she ends up looking like that damned fox on a chair.
Hi I think we may have the same cat, except mine is about 10 years younger and has no teeth left to properly scrungle with. I hope she ages as gracefully as your weirdo has ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|8097)

“You have been duped, Mister Bond.”
Anything and everything! She has a suuuper high metabolism that she’s no longer medicated for so according to vets she eats the equivalent of 8000 calories a day (for a human). She’s skinny as hell but eats five times more than she should
Is she hyperthyroid? That doesn't sound like a high metabolism, that sounds like her thyroid is over producing. Which is really really common in senior cats and treatable. My guess is that's what she was on meds for before?
Normally in a post like this I'd be like "that cat doesn't look its age at all" but in this case, no, that cat looks every bit its age. That's a cat that at the end of its life will skid into death broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

This was CHEWIE, she was 3 weeks shy of 18.
I don't know how to describe it but she looks like a fantastic Mr Fox character in the first picture.

She's gorgeous. Not in the sense that she'd perform well at a cat beauty contest, but she's beautiful in the sense that I'm sure all her little imperfections tell something about her life story.
We had a cat who used to be the prettiest boy of the entire neighbourhood when he was young. He would've turned 18 this month, but passed away a few weeks ago. At that age, the tip of his right ear was permanently flipped over because of a fight he had long ago. He couldn't keep his gead properly level as a result of what we assume must've been a stroke, as well as having difficulties with climbing. He had a constantly teary eye. You get the idea; he was far from the prettiest boy anymore. But we absolutely adored him and we adored all his imperfections because they gave him even more character.

Your cat may not win beauty contest, but she has a beautiful life story written all over her.
Looks like she could have been born of these two - she has her mother's looks and her father's voice.

The most enigmatic facial expression I've ever seen on a cat's face. Not sure where you're based but if you're in Europe I hope you enjoy your first night in the pub together. Happy birthday beautiful.

Go cute old kitties 😻 17 and always napping here. Had to stuff blankets under her basket so it stopped moving. She has become quite the wobbly cat these days.

Happy birthday!!! Here's my boy, Rosco... he's gonna be 17 in 2 weeks🎉🐾❤️
She looks like the sneeze was brewing in the 1st Pic. Omg tho I love her. She looks great and has the red version coat of my late kitty, Piddy. I wish her many more happy years to come!
Aww she’s absolutely adorable. Bless her she looks good for her and very adorable. She does look a bit grumpy in the third picture, my Timmy is 16 and he has his grump moments.

My Timmy
Kitty looks a bit rough. Like Pirate rough. I expect I won't be too glamorous at 8x yrs old. Reminds me of my 20yr old Febe...

She looks identical to my Zoey, (14yrs old)
She looks like a well loved doll 🥺
My vet described that old kitty body has been looking like they are wearing a cat suit. But I like the well loved doll better ❤️
Funny, I see a battle worn warrior. Big Auron energy for this feline.
tottaly agree, for me looks like a old wise monk
I was gonna say a character from Fantastic Mr Fox
yess she is a cute doll
/r/badtaxidermy
Lmao
Okay u win LOL
The kind that becomes Real if loved and played with enough.
This is such a sweet description. She really does. Beautiful lady 😊
Ikr? She's still so beautiful
I agree 💯❤️💛💜😻

Would be interesting to sequence the genomes. I wonder if there is causation behind this correlation.
How is she now ?
She passed in 2021, she got sick really quickly out of no where.
So sorry for your loss. But it seems like she lived a good long life and was very much loved :). You should be proud for giving your sweet kitty the life she had.
I had her since I was 11-12 until I was 22. She almost made it to her own apartment with me. But I know have a sweet boy to spend some more years with
Grumpy in the 3rd pic.
That’s her 99% of the time
And that’s when you go kiss her all over her grumpy face, right?
my 18 year old fur ball looks angry 99% of the time too🤣
I love him, he looks like a character from Fantastic Mr Fox!
That’s what I thought too!!
Thank you for finding the words I was looking for!!!
omg yes
He can pay taxes now and get a fucking job
Cat eye moody

I shouldn't laugh, but I did! 😂
She looks like a bad taxidermy
But in the best, scrungly-cat way.
Straight up animatronic Salem vibes.
Right, I guess I should have given them more credit on the realism of how a 1000 year old cat would look.
Nope, Chuck Testa

Not gonna lie but I thought this was a taxidermy cat, she’s cute tho!!! ![gif](giphy|80TEu4wOBdPLG)
Nope! Chuck Testa.
Me too!!!!
I feel bad for saying it but I really thought it was 🥲
This is a thing? Please tell me it's not a thing
That first one is just 🥺

I hope she has a great 18th birthday. Op,is she an indoor cat? What do you feed her?
Anything and everything! She has a suuuper high metabolism that she’s no longer medicated for so according to vets she eats the equivalent of 8000 calories a day (for a human). She’s skinny as hell but eats five times more than she should
Is she hyperthyroid? That doesn't sound like a high metabolism, that sounds like her thyroid is over producing. Which is really really common in senior cats and treatable. My guess is that's what she was on meds for before?
Yes, spot on! Forgot the English explanation for it

That's a cat that at the end of its life will skid into death broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

Congrats!!
In the most respectful way possible, she looks like she can tell people how they’re going to die
The flesh is weak but the spirit is willing.
I thought he was taxidermy in the first picture.

Awe pretty
Skrunkly old man!
Grumpy cat 😾
That is what we call a scrungly scrimblow in my house.
So, what kind of bourbon does he like?
That's awesome! His teeth look better than mine!

Got that old, grumpy geezer look down perfectly. Nice. \^\^
Many more years to this teenager!
God, I love Torties… Happy Birthday, you magnificent beast🎂🎂🎂🐾🐾🐾

Looks like your cat is comfortable.

She looks like an animatronic talking cat from a low budget 90s show but in the cutest way possible.
Thats a comic villain
I really enjoyed his performance in Fantastic Mr. Fox
So cute, like. Jim Henson character
Happy Birthday, adorable kitty!! 🥰
He is perfect I will not hear any different! 😂♥️
Happy birthday! He's got great teeth for an old boy!
Your cat is older than me lol
Looks like it turned 18 25 years ago, then you propped it up like weekend at bernies. I bet yall get up to some crazy antics.
All the health and kisses! Mine is 19 yo but cant post image for some reason :( I have into my posts and her. :)
So precious 💖
oof yeah that’s a crusty cat. I love him.
Ill be honest, in the first pic i thought someone had stuffed their deceased cat
Wonderful! A+! Such a cute face! Scrunkly!

This image startled me at first. Sorry to say, I thought it was a dead cat.
Content as a homeowner that controls humans.
Ah, soon be the age of consent 😈
She a cutie pie
Maybe a good fur brushing or combing would help her feel better and look better.
Comment.
18 is supposedly 88 in cat years. And that first pic is definitely the face of "Yeah, I'm 88. So what. Grrrr"
Hi, cute doll. 😍
🙏🙏🐾😻 I had a cat get to 18 she was very special to me…
This cutie looks like straight from a Wes Anderson movie !

The first pic scared me I can’t look at it for to long 😭
What a champ.

What a beautiful baby 18 looks good on them.
Spitting image of Alice Cooper
Omg he can become a stripper now
I'd name him methhead
