What an adorable old lady! :) I agree, though. There are older cats, aren't there?

This guy was in the news a lot not so long ago....granted this is The Sun but I saw him somewhere else too. ;)

He was I think. Bless him.

But this guy is 29....that definitely pips 24!

If you believe anything you read in the Sun  :evillaugh:

Janey's 25 is slightly more reliable  :shify:

My parents had a cat (Arthur) who lived to 25. I think he would have gone on longer than that given half a chance, but sadly had to be PTS as a result of skin cancer eventually (he was pure white). He was a darling.

There you go Mark, two more sources that aren't The Sun. ;)

Arthur sounds lovely. :hug:

Byron was over 25, we have her vets details but not all and the rescue had the rest as far as I know, they were pretty sure of her age - if you'd seen her for real you wouldn't doubt it I didn't post photos near the end but she had no fur on her ears, nose and feet bless her  :Luv2:  My friend's next door neighbour's cat lived to 25 so I don't think it's so rare to get to that age.
