A lot of cats will make it to 20. Its the upper end of average, even. The oldest confirmed living cat is like 27.

The real unbelievable one is that according to guineas records, the oldest cat ever was a whopping 38 years old, out of Austin Texas. 1967 to 2005.

Good to hear. We have a pair of sisters pushing 14 and still going strong. They're part Maine coin and fluffy as hell so we joke that they're too majestic to ever die.
