My Georgie only lived to 15 years. Such a personality she had! Her and her sister Huey (short for Humongous Furball) would keep all dogs out of our yard. If they stayed on the sidewalk the dog was safe. But step a paw on the grass and the girls would attack. A woman was walking her little poodle who decided to stop and do his doo in the grass. Big mistake. The girls were on the porch, alert and waiting for one wrong move. As soon as he got squatted they flew off the porch and jumped on him from behind. I think he probably was traumatized and never went potty right again! "Never Mind the Dog. Beware of the Cats!" was a sign I made for the yard. The size didn't matter. The lab two doors down wore a cat as a jockey more than once as he hightailed it home. One day Georgie dislocated her one hip, and after a trip to the vet they said to just allow her to rest and she will get better. She did. We had set up a quiet corner with food, water and cat box close by. Refused to use that cat box! Dragged herself to the regular one to use it. Talk about set in her ways! She got better. Then one day, about 4 months later, when she jumped down from the top of the toilet she dislocated her other hip! This time, she didn't bounce back. She didn't eat well, and she went downhill very fast. And really, it doesn't matter if you like cats, dogs, or whatever, you shouldn't be childish and cut others down because what they like isn't the same as you! God Bless all those long lived kitties!

If you have papers of birth or from their first vet visit, it is as good as a birth certificate as are photos. I have dated photos of my 2 babies since before they were each a year old. There's no way to dispute that, is there? Or would you insist upon dna testing? Hey, just cut one in half and count the rings? Not! I think any owner can find some type of proof as to the age of their animal, to within a year at the very least. I suppose it's a valid question, but i'm also sure they are carefully scrutinized before they are recorded.

My grandmother had a cat named Boots that lived up to 23. Died of kidney failure almost 20 years ago to the day. I was 21 and had to berry her before moving away. Mean cat that I never cared for. She used to hiss at me and my sis as toddlers. Boots never let me hold her till the last few years. Funny old cat. I personally know quite a few others that have made it past 20 too. I knew my Punky's mom before she was even born. Had her since she was 6 weeks but only had her 14 years. She went from cancer in only 3 months. My only other one is 14 now, a year later. He had a PU, (his boy part removed) due to many years of painful and expensive urinary blockages. almost died twice due to kidney failure from bad blockages and no money. last year he blocked twice and the 2nd time mom said, "let's fix him right this time". about $1,800 later he has one less organ, but he can PEE! So, he's probably worth about $600.00 a pound now. luckily he weighs about 13# so i got plenty of bruisermaw to love. thanks mom : ) Hmmm, this was all news to me as well.
