(Smiles) It does my heart good to hear about furry family members reaching the big 2-0. I seem to recall an age chart at my vet’s office giving cats ages. At 2 years, they are the human equivalent of a 24 year-old. For every additional year of life, add another 4 years.
Grief! She is quite the geriatric girl. Good care will accomplish that.
My one cat lived to 20, the other to 15. It was a bummer when each of them died. I had their ashes scattered over at a beautiful little pet cemetery nearby, so that I can periodically drive over there and think of both of them. It is very peaceful, and a lovely resting place for both of them.
my big mixed breed dog lived to be 16 years old. He was 130 pounds, miss my big guy.
My Mama, and Dad told me at a young age, they can’t fend for themselves, if you take in someone you take care of them to the very best of your ability. Things’ll happen that you don’t have any control over, but do the best you can.
We’ve been blessed with some of the best four legged (and in one case 3 legged) furry family God every graced the planet with.
