How old is your pet, or what is the oldest pet you ever owned?

[Amy10223]

I said goodbye to my sweet Oreo, my tuxedo cat, on September 30th in the morning. He had had a bladder infection, got treated, and was sick again some days later. He had lost a considerable amount of weight within a few months, and he had been trying to urinate on things other than inside his litter box. This is because he associated the pain he was having with his litter box. His infections (he had 2 before which were treated with antibiotics) were a symptom of something much bigger that was unknown. Because he was 23 years, instead of having testing done on him, I decided it was best to put him to sleep. As much as I miss him I am happy with the decision to put him out of his pain. When he put his little head against the post of his scratch post and closed his eyes, as if he could not anymore, I decided this was it.

He was older than 2 assistants!! At his age he was 108 in human years.

That is so sad. But I'll bet Oreo had a wonderful life with you.

I rescued a tiny tortie kitten from the white line of a busy 4 lane highway shortly after my wife and I were married. There was a tsunami of cars rushing toward her when I stopped and chased her down.

The highway was called Rosecrans Blvd, so we decided to name her Rosecrans - Rose or Rosie for short.

We officially adopted her for $50 that also included shots and spaying. The vet said she was 5 weeks old.

She turned out to be the best kitty ever. We moved three times with her. The last time was into our own home. We kept her in doors because we didn't want anything to happen to her.

We had her for almost exactly 22 years. She was happy until the end. She showed no signs of pain. She just got old. But she quit eating about a week5 days before she passed and we knew the end was near.

She used to sleep in a cat bed on our bed right at the foot between us.
On her last morning, my wife found her collapsed at the end of a hallway. She carried Rosie to the sofa and settled her in a soft blanket.

My wife went to work so I stayed right next to our Rose to keep watch over her. I occasionally petted her gently to be sure she was alive. Finally, at 11:15 am, I petted her and she was gone. She died peacefully and quietly in her home.

I put her blanket in a cardboard box and curled her into it like she as sleeping. It was Dec.10, 2019. I thought of putting a rose in the box with her. Our one rose bush was bare, so I walked to the other rose bush at the back of our property. Miraculously, there was one, single, perfect, yellow and red rose. It like the universe had smiled upon our little girl.

We buried her in the back of our yard with a stone to mark her grave.

We still miss her.

We now have a 6 year old boy who we got when he was maybe 6 weeks old. He's a super fluffy, marmalade orange, part Maine coon and weights 20 lbs.

Thank for the MHO, Amy.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
It is the hardest thing to do but it was the right thing to do.
It was your last act of unselfish love that you can do for them.

Sorry about Oreo. He had a good life and you should feel good about all thr good care you gave him

I got Harry from a shelter and I had him for 20 years. He was in renal failure. I had him rehydrate a couple of times but it was apparent that he was in pain. He was a good cat

[Amy10223]

Thank you. I'm sorry about Harry. :(

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I'm sorry for your loss. My cousin had to put down Cotton our older cat, and she was age 22 so figure her real age

Cotton

[Amy10223]

I'm sorry for your cousin's loss. She was probably about in her late 90's.

[Pupweb]

I actually don’t know how old she is because she’s a stray cat i take care of but out of my other 2 cats she’s probably the oldest cause she has a son

[Amy10223]

She's at least 2 because that is the age at which they can have babies and are considered adults. Cute!!! We found our Remy under a rose bush. The dog actually found her, and my girls brought her in.

[Pupweb]

She’s gorgeous but won’t even let me get one pet in

[Pupweb]

Really, I don’t know that. Very sorry for your loss tho🤍

[Amy10223]

Many cats are territorial, including Remy who is still with me. In fact, Oreo was about 10 years old when she was found, and he hissed a little at her when she was brought in. Then she began bossing him around and the dog too. She isn't as nice as Oreo was. Thank you. Good luck with yours, she looks very young by the fur on her.

[Amy10223]

Thank you. They can be territorial.

[RavVid]

Mine is 15 and he is not eating well. I am worried. 15 is about the oldest it has gone.

Sorry for your loss. He was cool. Mine has a white tuxedo.

[Amy10223]

Good luck with your cat! Awww

[RavVid]

Thanks. He has always been fussy but now he is bloody difficult.

[Flower7]

23 years old, wow! But I can tell by looking at him that he was very tired.

[Amy10223]

Yes, I've been told he looked too thin. Poor little guy.

[strateguy632]

Animals shed hair but i interact with my cell phone like a pet relationship.

Feed pet daily, is recharge.

Clean cache like change kitty litter.

Cherish n interact n protect it like a hairy pet.

[DancingQueen16]

I have a fish and it's a little over a year old

[Amy10223]

What kind of fish?

[DancingQueen16]

It's just a normal goldfish

[Bricealan]

This i OLIVER, he was a rescue baby, and I got him at 8 weeks and he died at just under 18 years

[Bricealan]

@Amy10223 Broke my heart to lose him.

[Amy10223]

Beautiful cat! I love grey ones.

[DryGermanGuy]

The family cat lived to be ~22. Several cats from my grandparents that reached ages between 15 and 20 years.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I had a cat that lived all 25 years of his life with me.

He was born just a few years after was.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Meanwhile, condolences to you for Oreo's passing.

[Amy10223]

Thank you! Your cat was amazing and you certainly took good care of him. :)

[mstbooblover]

At the moment I have two cats, one is 15-16 years old, and the other, the oldest I ever had, is 20 now, and he still has his wits ;0)

[AviatorTom]

Our family dog lived to be 14.

[Amy10223]

Mine, too!

[AviatorTom]

@Amy猫猫咪 That's 98 in dog-human years

[Amy10223]

Wow. That’s old. My cat, poor guy, was 108 in cat years. He had been sick at times and I didn’t know it, I found out.

[loveslongnails]

He had a good, long life. I'm sure you took good care of him.

🥹 I Had a calico cat she was put to sleep at 21 years. Of age. Much the same situation. They wanted to do exploratory surgery. I didn't want to put her through that.
