Those are both magical. I wish they'd give more info, as far as health/illness, did they receive vet care or no, diet, etc.
A few years ago I read about a cat who was 32 years old when it died. It had been owned by a farmer, a widower. I felt so sorry for him because he grieved for that cat. He said that every morning when he had his coffee he fed the cat some coffee, too, and it loved its morning coffee! __________________ |

I read that Flossie had poorly eyes and was deaf. She loves her food but it didn’t say what kind. That she was wild and her first owner rescued her from the streets. Flossie outlived her, then outlived the sister, then the son took her. He knew she was in her 20’s and couldn’t care for her properly, turned her in to a cat society that confirmed her age, with her vet records. She’s now with a woman who has experience with older cats. She sometimes has trouble grooming herself and sometimes misses the litter box. I had to read a lot of articles to get those bare bones. I’d like to know what she eats too.

I had two cats that both lived just past age 25. I did not really know that was such a big deal. We always made sure the food we fed was low enough n ash. Both cats were male cats. They did both go blind in the last court le years and both eventually died of kidney failure.
