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.
Please consider the harder to home cats in rescue.

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.

But this guy is 29

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

Janey's 25 is slightly more reliable  :shify:

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

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