Longest living fuzzy buddy? (Past or present.)?

Question

I had 2 oldies:
Juliet (Calico): Passed at 26
Rocky (Unknown breed, Juliet's son): Passed at 25

Answer 1

Wow, I guess my cats qualify as being middle aged (lol). I have two, one is 14 and one is 15.

Answer 2

Here is a really nice age comparison chart which appears at the end of a long article on the subject at
http://www.messybeast.com/longevity.htm

CAT'S AGE = EQUIVALENT HUMAN AGE

2-3 months = 9-12 months
Weaned and becoming less dependent on the mother.

4 months = 2-3 years
Talking (children). Kitten fully independent of the mother.

6-12 months = 12-15 years
Both are sexually mature and able to breed although they may not have reached their full growth.

2 years = 24 years
Could already have offspring.

3-6 years = 28-40 years
Human career-making

6-9 years = 40-52 years
Middle age spread, menopause for some women.

9-13 years = 52-65 years
Human menopause and retirement. Cats are slowing down.

13-17 years = 65-85 years
Active but ageing. Signs of senility in some individuals, senses becoming less acute, injuries heal more slowly or incompletely. Internal organs are less efficient.

17-19 years = 83-92 years
Growing frailty; bones less dense, less subcutaneous fat, poorer muscle tone, more fragile skin, less supple. Hearing, sight and mobility affected.

19-22 years = 92-100 years
Ripe old age. Female cats have bred at this age.

22+ years = 100+ years
Exceptional old age, but becoming increasingly common in both species.

30 years = 136 years
Several cats have attained this age.

34-36 years = 152-160 years
Longevity records noted in the Guinness Book of Records.

43 years = 188 years
Unverified feline longevity claim.

Answer 3

Our clinic cat, a Siamese named Zephyr-- Zeph is 26 and still does his "job" of making sure the papers on my desk don't fall off and keeping the printer company, LOL!

The oldest cat I ever knew was a patient at a clinic where I first worked as a vet tech. That was Mama, a 31 year old Domestic Shorthair. She passed away in her sleep just a week shy of her 32nd birthday. She was SO sweet-- she was my buddy even though she lived with someone else. I guess that counts!

The oldest cat I've ever had is still going strong at 15. She's a Himalayan.

Answer 4

The oldest cat I ever had was an American Shorthair by the name of Kylee Marie. She was 19 yrs. old. The average house cat lives until they are 15-16 yrs. of age. A strickly outdoors cat does not live a long life as a rule. They encounter other wild animals, diseases and are often run over by vehicles.

My neighbor and cousin had two cats. One was blind and the other deaf. Both lived until they were 22 yrs. old

Answer 5
