What a beee-u-tiful cat. 18! Wow!. I'm jealous. We had to euthanize our 16 yr. old calico on 5/1. We called her "the queen" because in her lifetime in our household the family went through four dags, but Tigger prevailed! 'Course, she scratched doors to get us to open them so we called her our cat/dog. If the others had only learned, maybe they'd have stayed around!. Go figure!
