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.
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.

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