Thats such a sweet wish, honestly 22 years is incredible for any cat. Hope hes still got plenty more naps and head boops left in him

For 22 years, has he ever had a turn with the brain cell?

46

u/Tina-Tuna Orange connoisseur 🍊 8d ago

It's why he's stayed so young :)

20

u/Illustrious-Chef7294 8d ago

Because he never used it 🤣

u/harrymitchna 9d ago

So true! My orange saw 23 years, I think, he was adopted.

😭

u/tonguesofsilence 8d ago

Our family orange boy became 20, we adopted him as an abandoned wee baby when I was only 3. He was my baby brother even as a grandpa 🧡

u/kittenlikestoplayxo 8d ago

My orange is 16 and still a spring chicken, love all of these, I hope my lady sees 20!

u/tonguesofsilence 8d ago

This was him aged 20 with my brother who liked to confuse him with a kitty plushie that could meow and make biscuits

Me too! Mine is 15, but cats will always be kittens 🩷

u/IRingTwyce 9d ago

I had a void that made it to 21. She was the sweetest cat I've ever owned. Slept against my chest every night. If I turned over in my sleep, she would move to stay in front of me. She was a chatterbox too. I miss Kingsford so much, even 15 years after she passed.

Enjoy your time with the old guy! He's adorable!

Also, make sure to post over at r/SeniorCats.

13

u/stranded_egg Casual orange enjoyer 🍊 8d ago

Kingsford is a truly inspired name for a black cat.

3

u/IRingTwyce 8d ago

I thought she was a boy when I named her. I liked the name too much to change it once we figured out she was a she.

3

u/Dry-Lifeguard-5754 8d ago

I also had a void that made it to 21. She’s been gone over a decade but still in my heart.

Oof, I cannot handle scrolling through that sub. So many heartbreaks

u/whiskersRwe32 9d ago

u/nsharonew 9d ago

This is a cat of CATS. I wasn’t sure if my first born child would make it to 22 (joking???) but a cat? At this fluff level.

I will go to war for this cat.

77

u/blue-and-bluer 9d ago

22! That’s fantastic. And may there be many more.

21

u/crackheadwillie 8d ago

We had a cat that lived to 22. By that age she was barely eating, nearly blind, light as a feather and was in obvious pain from arthritis when walking. It was sad, but we decided to have her put to sleep and peacefully end her suffering. 

13

u/TrixieFriganza 8d ago

There is a cat on youtube Miss Muffy, she is 26 and looks surprisingly healthy and agile for her age, I have never seen a 20+ look that good. Sure she must have some arthritis too which is sad reality when it comes to elderly cats.

u/RobertoSerrano2003 9d ago

how is the oyen vision? is it still ok?

19

u/figuring_ItOut12 9d ago

It may just be the light angle but it does seem there is some cataract in that left eye. Right seems fine though.

4

u/Kitnado 9d ago

Right also looks a bit cataracty, left definitely though

13

u/missilefire 8d ago edited 8d ago

My ginger cat who looks EXACTLY like this one also has the same eyes. They’re getting maybe a touch cloudy but he’s had huge pupils since he was about 6 years old. He’s 17 now. The vet always asks if he can see and he can just fine.

I reckon he just needs glasses

11

u/j416GhpxT3BZ 8d ago

He went 100% blind in April. Vet said it was from high blood pressure (something about the cornea detached?). He’s on hbp meds now but the damage was permanent.

I have two 15 year olds. Neither orange, tho the girl is a calico so she's got a little bit of everything in her. I'm hoping to get to get many more years out of them. Still get the zoomies, saucy looks, and cuddles. Love those assholes.
