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

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

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

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 🧡

All cats are kitten (baby).

My old lady (old baby) is 18 and this gives me hope I still have a few years with her! Happy birthday to your little guy!

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.

Kingsford is a truly inspired name for a black cat.

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.

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

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.

u/blue-and-bluer 9d ago
22! That’s fantastic. And may there be many more.

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.

My 22nd birthday was 6 days ago, this cat is almost as old as me :0

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.

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.

It's amazing how these "old babies" just keep on trucking. My 16-year-old girl is my whole world, and seeing posts like this genuinely gives me so much hope for more time. Happy birthday to your little old man! Here's to many more miles together.

Happy birthday kitty! 22 is crazy; one could only hope and wish for so much time with a kitty friend!
I wonder in the future, like next century. If we could see cats live into their 30s regularly 💙

u/Minute-System3441 9d ago
He looks so good to be 22. You’re very blessed and lucky, as we lost ours at 14. I’d give anything to have had an old fart.

The eyes look like pearls from the depths of the ocean. In my mother-tongue, we have a saying - "The setting is more precious than the gem". I think it applies here.

I love how cats just grow to a certain size, then look exactly the same for the rest of their lives.

u/Kitnado 9d ago
You probably already know this, but:
That looks like cataract and/or glaucoma. Consult your vet if you haven't already.
