RIP Poppy

[lamboman100]

A good age.

May be a lucky name. A neighbour owned a tortoiseshell called Poppy that made it to 21.

We lost our wonderful Wednesday 3 weeks ago. She had just turned 23. Didn't realise she was that close to the oldest cat at the time.

Miss her terribly.

I lost mine on Sunday.

He was 21.

Missing him very, very much at the moment.

[Ace-T]

Very sorry to hear that. It sucks doesn't it. For lttle creatures they sure do leave a fricking enormous hole in your life.

I was just saying exactly that to my wife.

It's going to take a fair while before it feels "normal" not to have him around the house after all these years.

It's very sad.

Two of mothers cats made it to 21.

Our Tortoishell; Pepper, made it to 21 in Jan, she would have gone on longer but was arthritic and going a bit senile so we did what was best for her.

My partners cat Tia is 20 years old and showing no signs of I'll health, she has had her from a kitten. Tia certainly bosses our 2 dogs and regularly gives them a swipe if they happen to be in her way! And still chases other younger cats away from the garden!

The oldest cat I ever met belonged to a girlfriend's boss, 25 and looked every minute of it. A very impressive age for cats, over 20.

My bosses cat 'Pussen' (who then actually moved in with the neighbours!) was in his 24th yr when he passed away a few months ago . He was a right character!
