    It’s so crazy, when I was a kid a 14 year old cat was on it’s deathbed. Now 17 is completely normal. I love it.

      How old are you? I was a kid in the 1980s and most cats I knew as a kid lived till around 18. Oldest cat I can recall was 22. My spouse and I commented recently that it’s weird seeing so many people online these days thinking that a 12-14yo cat was old and wondered what the heck was going on that kitty lifespans have shortened so much from when we were kids (or our own cats). 🙀
