Oh my goodness SParky!
Much ~ma for TIm and Steph. THat sounds scary
So the rescue people said Miss Hazel is 11, but I was looking through the vet records they sent along, and they say she is 13! She is awfully spry for an old lady, but it kind of makes me wonder how long we'll actually have.
I got Miss Bobo 7 years ago, and they said she was nine. I do not think she was nine, because she can't possibly be 16!
My older cat is about to turn 12 and basically still acts like a spry young thing. I don't know when most cats start to show their age, but 11/12/13 doesn't sound all that old to me! Most cats I've known have lived into their late teens. (Though my parents' cat is now 16 and their vet says she's showing signs of dementia, which I didn't know was even possible for cats!)
Miss Kitty is 13 and is our old lady cat. She plays with Noodle some, but would rather sleep. When she jumps up or down from the couch or bed, her rear end shock absorbers seem to be failing. As much as I love the new house, watched her go up and down the stairs is rough.
Hooray for inflated lungs!
My cats are 15/16 and only one seems old, but he is diabetic and I think senile. As much as I love animals I am kinda over my pets at the moment. So needy all the time.

I'm inflating my lungs right now AIFG!

Right there with you.
Yikes! Glad to hear Tim is doing better, Steph.

My cousins' cat Sunshine lived to be 23, so you never know.
meara ahoy:
Glad to hear Tim's doing well, hope he's home soon. I vote for napping at the hospital. They usually have a couch or reclining chair in the room for such cases.
Sending ~ma your way, Sparky, to disburse to family as needed. Be sure to keep some for yourself too.

IME vets can get the age wrong. When we brought in Folly the first time they transcribed her age wrong, I can no longer remember if they added a year or subtracted it. And as for how long you'll have, well that can never be predicted anyway so you might as well enjoy the time you have with her.
