We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

That was Gracie, for sure. She made it to 22.

Okay, THAT is an eternal cat.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think the longest a domestic cat has been recorded to live was 24 or 25? I knew a cat named Daughter who lived to be 22. She'd been owned by the same woman since she was a kitten so there was no doubt how old she was. She was a furious kitty in her old age, we used to say Death was just too scared of her to get close enough.

Slinky may have deflected the grim reaper towards Toke. I would believe that 100%. Slinky is wily.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And yeah, interpreting cat signals is tough.

So true. They instinctively hide weakness, even from us who just want to help.

Yeah, we worked out Gracie's age from my sister's - H was just starting in middle school when we got Gracie, and she's 36 now.

I kind of hated picking Koogie up when he was so bony, I couldn't help thinking having your bones handled like that had to be uncomfortable.

Performance review done - 4% raise. Last year was 3.5 and the year before that 3, so I guess I'm okay with this trend. I have very little idea what the impact will be on my take home will be, but there's at least a possibility it will noticeable.

Longer than that, my cousin's cat made it to 24.

Yeah, I wonder about that. But we have to pick Slinky up to give her the liquid meds (because she sure won't come running for them; she hates them), so we just try to be as gentle as possible.
