What's the oldest pet you ever had. Tell me about that pet?

Question

I have a 17 year old dilute tortiseshell cat. My grandma called her a barncat. Grandma thinks she's ugly. You gotta love her!

Answer 1

I had a torti who lived till 22. My mother thought she was the ugliest thing going. NOT. She had a beautiful face. An almost perfect split of orange/black/white. Such a lap cat. Always rubbing your face. Never clawed at things she shouldn't or jumped on the table or counters. Slept with me every nite and it was a horrible day when we had to put her down. She loved rough housing. Took me 6 yrs but I got mself another torti just last friday.

Answer 2

We have a 40 year old Morgan horse named Winema. We lovingly refer to her as Grandma. She was rescued 5 years ago after being tied to a tree for 9 years. Her baby was also tied to the tree, but she had to be put down due to an injury that was never taken care of. Grandma has lived beyond her years and is getting a little senile and tends to fall asleep a lot, but she is a great horse and loves to be brushed and loved on!

You can view a picture of her smiling for the camera if you go to the following site:

Answer 3

Hi there.
I had a ginger male called Puss that lived to 17 years. He even survived a car accident when he was about 10 years old, where he survived by spending three days licking dew off the grass under a bush before dragging his sorry *** back home. He hated vets and probably thought if he came home he'd have to have his broken back legs fixed! But his hunger got the better of him. He was a great cat and endured a lot of tail pulling from when I was a baby - he was a tough old cat. I miss him heaps.

Answer 4

The eldest pet I own is Puss. (Original, isn't it? lol) She is about 15 years old, and a toroiseshell. Her black fur has paled, and has flecks of grey, and her ginger markings are silvering. Her whiskers occasionally grow white, and her eyes are smoky look to them, which I fear is a sign of going blind. She meows when you pick her up, her limbs hurting from arthritis, so every night when I go to bed, I'll hear the soft padding of her feet coming up the hallway. She'll use the shelves at the base of my bed as steps, so she doesn't have to leap the whole distance, then she'll sit expectantly on my chest, waiting for me to lift the blankets so she can snuggle down beside me with the electric blanket, the warmth driving away the twinge of pain.
Though old as she maybe, it doesn't stop her from defending herself against the other two cats in my household, whether it's a playful fight over dinner, or over who gets to lie with me on a cold night. (When it comes to the electric blanket, Puss'll always win.) Some think that as a cat grows old, they'll grow distant and cold, wishing to be alone, and independent. If this is true, then Puss is the complete opposite. She'll follow close behind when I get up in the morning, she'll retire to bed with me, and if I get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, she'll drag herself from the bed, just to make sure I'm coming back.
Every day I count my blessings that my beloved pet that I've owned since before I can remember is still with me, but now all I can do is hope that she'll remain by my side for years to come...

Answer 5

I had a horse that I acquired when I was about 5. He was 10, and he died just this year (im 23). I learned how to ride horses on him, and we did everything from horse shows to rodeo to hunting and packing in the wilderness. He was absolutely awesome... we called him bulletproof cause nothing could scare him and he would do anything for me. I would go out in the pasture whenever I had a bad day and lay on him bareback, or else he would lay down and i would curl up next to him. He would wrap his neck around my like he was giving me a hug....it was soo cute!!! He was a fuzzy pony looking horse... he wasn't particularly tall, and had long curly hair. We found out he had Cushings disease, which affects the thyroid among other things, and caused the long hair growth. We had to put him to sleep because of side effects of the disease.... he would have lived for quite awhile longer. He was my best friend and I miss him. :)

Answer 6

We did purchase a canines from a puppy save and that i've got on account that found out he got here from between the main important clearinghouses of doggy turbines - i'm thoroughly disgusted, yet we did no longer be attentive to approximately doggy turbines 10 years in the past! fortuitously we have no well-being subjects with Harley ( a Corgi) We even have been given a canines from an outstanding breeder- Tanner (a Golden) - after lots examine to confirm she wasn't a byb. we've accompanied distinctive canines by the years from interior sight shelters.

She became via a strategies the main unswerving and loving of all our canines. She had super intelligence and became very in song to our thoughts. She became an astonishing canines and could be ignored extraordinarily. I certainly might desire to declare, if I ever get to any extent further canines, i flow to flow to a shelter. i've got served on the board of our interior sight Humane Society and function spent limitless hours engaged on the shelter and elevating money. those canines (and cats) want somebody who's prepared to look previous what form of canines they're and merely seem into their eyes and see the affection and loyalty they might desire to furnish.

Answer 10

My pure black cat that is still alive and very healthy. I'm not sure how old he is since he was a rescue cat. They vet said he was just a baby when I got him, full size but still young. I've had Lucky (Buddy, he has two names) now for 13 years, so I am guessing he is 14-15. I also have his son (Kitty - I let me son name him - my son was 1 1/2yrs old) who is almost 13.
