[quote=Anonymous]One lived to 21, the other was 23. We got both when I was a little girl and they died long after I'd moved away from home. Indoor/outdoor cats who regularly tussled with raccoons or disappeared for a week at a time. Standoffish to strangers, but sweet and cuddly with family. My mom was not exactly a cat person, and they got "annual" checkups about once every 3 years. No medication, ever. So I can't explain it - just hearty genes and good luck, I guess. Both were going strong until around 18 or 19, then started looking "old". Both had a final 3-6 months of steady decline, until they just didn't get up one day. Never had a real cause of death, didn't seem worth any testing for illness when they were that age.[/quote]
