Most of my cats have lives 15+ years. Raja was about 18 when he passed, possibly older. He adopted up when he was around 3-5 years old.

Wow, so many of you have cats.

Thank you for the great info. I hope I'm one of the lucky ones where they live to 20!

I have had Misty, who just turned 3, since she was a kitten. She followed us around at a Christmas tree farm and the owner told us we could take her home. That was my first experience with a cat, at 26, since my family was always a dog family. My other cat, Ash, who is 5, I just got a month ago from a rescue group. Both of them curl up and cuddle with me every night in bed.

It sounds like I'm doing everything right with them. They are both strictly indoor cats, fed kibble, and are both fixed.
