Wow, she looks great for her age! And her eyes are so shiny, her coat looks so much nicer compared to my pics of my 17 year old Miss Kitty. You'd think Lucy was only about 12 or so from her looks.

i saw that and though i want to believe it,its one of those things that make me go Hmmm....
that cat doesn't look even as old as some 18 or 19 yr old kitties i've seen and barely has any of the signs of old age. you'd think that the family would know around how old she is...wasn't it the aunt's cat? if you aunt had a cat....even if you only saw the aunt once a year don't you think you'd know the kitty? and don't you think the aunt would start saying something like "doesn't kitty look good for ___" or whatever?
i do hope the kitty really is that old and lives a healthy life til the end...may we all have friends who live that long!
