      My cat is only five and she’s been pretty medically precarious since 2y.o. unfortunately. Cherish the time you have, I don’t think my cat will make it to 17. In fact, I would be shocked and thrilled if she made it to 12

      My cat is 18 and just in the last few months has suddenly become ancient - fur badly matted, has trouble jumping up on my 1’ high bed etc. She has always looked and acted like an 8-month-old kitten up to this point, very sad thing.
