How long is the longest you have known a cat to live?

My inlaws had a cat that lived to be 21 years old, and it wasn't a case of them misremembering or miscounting. The cat was amazing, really, she has also lost an eye when she was very young after falling asleep on a warm car engine and still being there when it was later started. I reckon that cat had more than nine lives!

23 years and she was a real member of the family, my sister mourned over this cat for 6 months bad and still speaks of it like it's still alive. It was a terrible loss. Keep them on a good diet, shots once a year, wormed and clean the ears. Good Luck

Some can live into their twenties.... when I was a little girl, our neighbor's cat lived to be 21. This is pretty ****** rare, though.

There's a fellow in town that made the news, even got on Animal Planet because his cat, Grandpa, lived in to his 30's, like 31. I don't know how he did it, but I do know that he keeps his cats inside & takes special care of them. The oldest I've had is 16.

Many years ago my Aunt Marion had a Deaf cat, "Baby" who lived 22 years, and went gently into the night at her end. Certainly she lived longer than I will in Human years. Ther have been reports of older, but I offer that as my PERSONAL experience. Steven Wolf

I have 14 yr old now. Two different sisters had cats live to 21 and my brother's cat is still kickin' at 23 (although not kicking as high or as fast....)
