My old cat passed

[Chris142]

He has been going down hill for about 6 months. He got an eye infection and nothing the vet did helped. He also ate like a horse but lost weight.

He was a great mouser and waited for me to come home and feed him. He ate a lot considering that he was missing lots of teeth for the last 15 years or so. He will be missed.

5/13/93-11/19/22. He lived 29.5 years.

I wanted to add him to the wiki with the oldest cats but can't figure out how to do that yet.

It's hard losing a pet, even more so when they've been a part of your life for 29.5 years.

 

[Dave Hess]

RIP. Remember all the happy times and love he gave to your family.

Although any loss of a pet is bad, having a cat for 29.5 years counts as a blessing, especially if 29 of those years were relatively healthy.

I'm so not over the dissapearance of my cat, not ready to bond with another. that sucks. I wish you won't have that problem.

Sorry for your loss.

29+ years is a heckuva run. Still, it's a painful shock to the system.

I lost my tuxedo boy last month at only 8 years of age. Large cell lymphoma and it progressed incredibly fast. I've had to put 5 pets down as an adult and it's always tough - but this was the worst for me because he was relatively young and seemed perfectly fine 2 weeks before.

[zrxkawboy]

I'm so sorry to hear this, Chris. Thanks for giving him a good life.

 

[Hyundai Respecter]

He must have been a very happy and healthy cat to live to almost 30. You did a great job caring for him. So sorry for your loss.

 

[atikovi]

That's like a human living to 150. Wow.

 

[bruckus]

I feel for you and your family. I had to bury my cat a couple months ago, died a day or two before his 20th birthday.
We've had cats or the last 35 years but not ready for another quite yet.

 

[Snagglefoot]

That’s an incredibly long life, even for a cat. Pets are like markers in life. Their lives crossed yours and both we and them were fortunate for that.

Cat condolences extended.
My wife never fails to mention our 19 and 21 year old 'brother cats'.
A pal in high school had a 27 year old Russian Blue.

 

[Bud]

Sorry to hear about your loss. I have been in the same situation many times as I am a cat lover. Just adopted a new kitten last week. Condolences.

 

[2dogs]

My condolences. Rest in Peace...

You can see in the video I took last thanksgiving that he was still very spry and quick. We lost my babycat the day after last thanksgiving.
