cats regularly with proper medical care make it well past 20 these days.

You shut your damn mouth, my cat is 17 and fit as a fiddle.

My cat is 18 and just in the last few months has suddenly become ancient - fur badly matted, has trouble jumping up on my 1' high bed etc. She has always looked and acted like an 8-month-old kitten up to this point, very sad thing.

Oh, your cat will live forever!

Or depression. Or anxiety. Or learning disabilities.

Oh they can have anxiety alright

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)
