I feel like 20 year old cats are unusual, though I have personally met several.
And Wednesday only made it to 5, so, who knows with averages.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Shadow made it 14/15, but my Koogie Lich Cat was something like 19. But I think he was the Professor Binns of cats anyway.

Yeah, I wouldn't say it's normal, but it's not all that exceptional either.

The indoor vs outdoor makes a big difference wrt to cat age.

Gracie was mostly outdoor until about 15, when she apparently decided to retire and stay inside full time. While my father appreciated the reduction in chipmunk parts in his living room and dead snakes on the lawn, his allergies suddenly became an issue, which is how I ended up with her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This chart seems right to me. Like, sure a lot of people live into their 90s now, but most don't.

My old cats were 17 and 18 respectively when they died. The 17-year old one had diabetes for about half his life. They were both fully indoor cats, that does make a huge difference. My brother & sister-in-law's cat who just died was, like, 24 and had been an indoor/outdoor cat for part of her life. One time she went missing for 3 months and showed back up on their doorstep with no inherent harm done.

Right, yeah, just like that.

It's weird having all young animals now after so many years with seniors/geriatrics. We hardly ever go to the vet at all (knock wood)!
