She never really had many problems except with her hearing and vision at age 20-25. The last 5 years she never really declined. We were lucky to not have any internal organ failures and things along those lines.
@Araffallea Thats because old cats don't clean themselves. Probably dont bath her, but some daily grooming would definitly help any elderly cat feel better.

My cat is almost 16 and still has the energy to play, jump around and keep me awake at night. She is a white balinesi and their "meowing" sounds like the screams of a velociraptor.
Both of mine were 17 this year. Different litters but born in the same month. They played and jumped around just like kitten...until they didn't. Both died of Kidney disease, took less than 4 months for each. I want your kitty to live forever and bring you lots of nose pokes. 😢
Thanks for the support. Ironically we did bathe her at age 27 and she stopped breathing for about 10 minutes. I guess the stress and shock got to her. As we were carrying her down to take her outside to begin burying her she came back... for another solid 3 years.
Oh my goodness o.o I'm glad that had a happy ending Edit: For some reason I'm getting a lot of questions about this small comment a year later? I just meant I'm glad the cat wasn't buried alive. Yes, I'm aware it's not alive anymore. I'm not saying I'm happy it's dead, obviously. I'm glad it had owners that loved it so much.
My girlfriends parents cat was 20 odd when she died. She looked a haggard mess 90% of the time. If you had a bit of chicken or cheese in your hand she instantly turned youthful and beautiful.
As an experienced vet tech, I can tell you, she DOES look quite painful. Every step of every paw makes me cringe and feel for her. Hopefully she was on something for arthritis, but even still, yeah, I can guarantee she was hurting. Pets just don't "show it" obviously.
@@awembaweawembawe6116 Every facility has their own policies, but speaking generally, yes. Every service has a charge. You're paying for the expertise to make it a peaceful and smooth process. Veterinary (doctorate) degrees don't come cheap. I'm sure if any professional were asked to do a service for free, that probably wouldn't work well. Also, the cost is for the drugs involved. At the end of the day, we can only help pets if we keep the lights on. If a loved one (human) is undergoing surgery and they die, do you think they'll not charge anything? If someone is on hospice care, do you think there's no cost associated with that? I DON'T mean to sound cold. Believe me, I VERY much understand where you're coming from. That's why we try to keep our euthanasia costs as low as we can. We recognize that this is especially not a time to try and gouge people for money. Again though, every facility has their own protocols. Some charge more if owners want to be present. Some charge more for sedation. To me, that's a horrible thing! If you're tight on money and elect to not have your pet sedated prior to euthanasia, if they go down "rough," the owner is going to feel awful for not paying the little bit extra. Plus, that's not the last memory you want to have with your beloved fur baby. Sedation is always done by us. It's just included in the cost to ensure things are as peaceful as possible. Moreover, after the owners leave, we try to make paw prints for the owners. These get mailed with sympathy cards to the owners. These aren't things we need to do, but again, we want owners to have as good of memories as possible. Every bit takes time though, too. Realistically, utilizing an exam room and staff to ensure everything is taken care of appropriately....unfortunately in the real world, everything has costs associated with it. Like I said, we DO NOT nickel and dime people, especially at these times. It's just a matter of being realistic. Sorry for the long explanation but i just wanted to try and be thorough and clear. Hope that makes sense.
Before, I saw a video of a 23 yo cat which was dated 13 years ago. I was hoping how would it look like if it reached 30 yo. Now, another video of a 30 yo cat, but dated 14 years ago. Why RUclips WHY you like to rip my heart open🤧

I have a 23 year old cat, and the Vet has told me not to bathe him or shave him. He's a Persian Tabby mix. I did shave him very carefully a year ago, and the fur hasn't grown back very well. I have to keep him extra warm everyday, and all of us in the family take care of him. He's very loved, very well cared for, and has always lived the life of a prince as most cats deserve. After 23 years together, I can't imagine a home without him. We are grateful for everyday.
@@scribblecloud older cats seem to have issues with their fur, they don't or can't maintain themselves the way they did when they were younger, fur tends to get knotted, clumps up, can't brush it out, the only option is shaving it off. I think are more comfortable once shaved as long as they stay warm. I have heated cat beds for my seniors.
@@Tom-kn6sr or you could brush them daily like youre supposed to anyway. And instead of shaving you couldf just cut out the mats with scissors and they'd lose a lot less fur. I don't think a cat should ever be shaved unless its been neglected and there's no other option.
Had a dog live for 21 years. Losing any pet is difficult, but when one is there for the majority of your life, it's another magnitude of difficulty when they finally pass on. All you can do is know that you clearly gave them a good life for them to stick around so long.
When you got 30, it's not much different from your 20's. Even on your 40th decade, your body doesn't have too many troubles. But once you hit fifty, that's when your body starts to feel worn. Edit: I was drinking when I typed this comment. I didn't read the main comment properly until later on the next morning. So yes I'm well aware that you can't live to be over 400.
Yeah very true - I just turned 31 and I had to put my 20 year old schnauzer down in October, he was blind and deaf but still pretty mobile and loved to eat. I was in middle school when we got him! I remember laying in bed with him in high school hoping nothing would happen to him while I was in college, I actually think about that a lot.
My cat’s 14 now. I’m kind of occasionally feeling anxious on how he could pass away anytime. I hope he could live for 30 years. I can’t afford to lose him.
I coped with my cat loss by filling my home with cats, never regretted it, 4 are gone now and it helped me mature a lot, you could say I'm mentally stronger than ever haha
@@ThePegasiPony don't be anxious, man, cats can live 20 years in a good conditions, it can be proofed by any vet. My cat was 20.5 when he died, it was sad, but he was really old. If u take care on yours cat his life will be great and long
And now this video is 15 years old… She was a wonderful and strong cat, only with loving people she could reach that age. A testament to the care and warmth she was surrounded with. Thanks for uploading this video, and letting it stay up after all that time. Certified Classic Catvideo. Warm greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱.
I would have liked to have seen this cat interact with a kitten. "You kids these days with your laser pointers and apps. In my day, we just had string! That's all we had to play with. String. Time for my nap."
Wow this is absolutely mental, just imagine being asked "So how old is your cat?" And you're just there like "Ooh well we got him in 1979 and we're in 2009 now so he's 30." Although this obviously near immortal cat is no longer with us I feel happy seeing this video.
My cat lived to 22. He looked pristine, beautiful up until the last three weeks of his life... liver problems. It's been 5 years since his passing and I miss him dearly. Often wished he'd just live forever. At the same time I would like to think our family provided him with a long, happy life. May he happily watch over me from Heaven.
Bro Listen to me. I’m so sorry for your loss since I also miss my cat but I came to the conclusion that We need death. You may think I m crazy but I absolutely mean it. When my cat died I also wished he d live forever but then I think “ Why I loved him so much?”. And the answer is that I loved her because her life was limited. Just imagine what would have happened if someone told you that you would have stayed with your cat forever. I think I would not have loved my cat like I did because I would have took her for granted. It s sad to say but we need death so we can appreciate life and everything that comes with it. We ve loved our cat because we know unconsciously that one day they would have die!
if it’s any consolation this cat is jesus and died at 27 and came back for another 3 years. obviously felt like they had to annoy their owner a bit more

She's in heaven now and she loves u so much. My first love Charles was 21 years old when he passed. I wad also 21 at the time. We grew up together. I loved him so much still do just as much today after 8 years of his passing. I'm 30 now and I have a cat named Penny who is 4 now and I hope she stays with me for as long as Charles did.
My cat was 21 when she passed away and looked beautifully busted. I used to call her my "old dirty wash rag." BTW if this cat is 30yrs that the equivalent of a human living to 134!
My mother was born in 1972. I was born in 2002. My mother was 7 when this cat was born. I was 7 when this cat died. What a strange world, so many overlapping stories that we never even know about.
That’s such a cool video !! My baby boy is 14!! And still very spry and lively he wakes me up every morning by tapping my face. He’s alert and bright and I hope he lives many more years. My parents Cat just passed away at 18. That’s a long time! They were so sad!!
30 years is way too long for a cat, it's more like 120+ in human years Since 20 is likely the limit for most, whichi would translate to around 80 in human years
@lilo lila Well, I injured my back in the army and had to basically move back in with my parents at 37 years old and sit in a chair for about six month trying to get the VA to pay for my back surgery, which they finally did and I am back on my feet and independent again. Jesus has carried me through that uncertain time of my life. How was/is your life?
This cat lived longer than Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse, River phoenix, Heath Ledger, Buddy Holly, James Dean etc. And yet the cat never released an album and the only known film is here. Just goes to show.....
We had a cat that lived until she was 27, and we treated her like a queen, you must have done everything for her for her to live till 30, you must be happy you gave her such a wonderful life. :)
My cat passed away yesterday at 6 or 7 years old because of disease, and I wasn't there when it happened. This is so beautiful it made me cry. I'm sure she was greatly loved and cared for, and that's all that matters. Thanks for posting this. I know she's in an amazing place now.
My cat passed away earlier this year on the 7th of January after three long months of fighting back brain tumor. My country is barely advanced in terms of pet care, so we don't have an animal brain surgeon in the country itself. It was heart rending. He was fighter to the end, but the waiting and the balancing between hope and despair is crippling. I didn't want to put him down, I want to see through all possible method to save him. But in the end, his insides had rotten, he barely ate and probably couldn't digest his recovery meal well, and finally when I combed him, his fur came off too easily. I knew then that he no longer able to fight, his immunity had fallen. So, after a moment of processing this fact, I decided to let him go. I didn't share the days of watching him slowly withering because I feel that it isn't something I should talk about. But now that a few months have passed, I found talking about him therapeutic.
We have 25 year old cat Jasmine. She doesn't walk much and her fur looks horrible, even worse than this. She won't let me brush her much, let alone to take a bath. She is a happy cat though, she has 2 friends now (my new two two year old cats). Rest in Peace, Ashley cat.
@@nashpv No, Jasmine is gone. It wasn’t long after I posted this comment 7 years ago. The other 2 kittens I had at the time I posted this, well one is still here, and another one went missing 7 years ago, so technically the same year I posted this comment. Sorry it’s So weird to read it now. Back then I had no idea the hell I will go through when one of them goes missing. We have looked for him, had posters, even contacted psychics, no result. I now have adopted one more cat and they are fenced in so won’t get out. And we have a dog too. Sorry long comment, just weird to read my old message and realize so much has changed.
@@nashpv Some people won't get their pets microchipped because they believe it is wrong to use technological implants that aren't necessary to sustain their life.
IKR, there are so many humans who haven’t lived till 30 even though 30 is nothing for a human but for a Cat that’s so cool, when I read the title I thought it’s some kind of joke but it’s not
@@Aurora-rw9lp can’t overthink death. We all will die. It’s part of life. I would not be broken. I would be amazed that my cat lived 30 years. I’d actually be proud if my dog or cat lived that long.
Losing a cat is like losing a part of yourself. You can't get it back, but you will always have it. I can't stand the thought of losing my 19 year old cat, precious. If I did, things would never be the same. I would never be the same.
Each time I've lost a pet, a part of me has died with them. My childhood dog and I were virtually connected telepathically, and losing her made the word a very quiet place. The combination of loving them and losing them definitely changes a person. At least take comfort in the fact that they had someone as loving as you, where the very thought of a life without them is incomprehensible. Not every pet is so lucky to be loved that way, with all the warmth and comfort that comes with it.
God damn, this cat was a trooper. She even passed when she was 27, and came back for another three years, like Cat God accidentally killed her and brought her back as consolation. These kinds of cats, that live for 20-30 years (way beyond average lifespan), they go when they decide to go. And I’m sure Ashley had a peaceful passing. R.I.P.
This gives me hope :) Our cat is 17 and I keep wondering how many good years he has left with us. 30 years is amazing! I'm just hoping we'll get to celebrate our cat's 18th :)
@@MyPumpkin00 I forgot all about this comment. Unfortunately he passed away shortly before his 18th birthday. He got a really bad case of fleas and was just too old to handle them :( I really miss that little booger.
@@Snuzzled sad to hear that :( my cat's 17 and I really hope I'll get to celebrate her 18th birthday, she's healthy and in a good shape. Anyway thanks for your answer, I didn't really expect it since it's been 8 years!
The average lifespan for a pet cat is probably around 13 to 14 years. However, although their lifespan varies, a well cared for cat may commonly live to 15 or beyond, some make it to 18 or 20 and a few extraordinary felines even pass 25 or 30 years of age.
My girlfriend gave her 16yo cat a bath and we're pretty sure that's what set him on a downward spiral. That kind of shock, as small as it may seem, can be all it takes.
I had seen a person with elderly cat just wipe with wet cloth and gently brush out their fur to prevent matting. I guess bathing shock is too much for their wee little heart at that age. I m sorry for your loss💔
we bathed our cat once and it ruined his fur for months, his skin was rly dry which caused random cuts and he had a lot of dandruff, he's an outdoors cat and he had gone for a swim in the neighbour's pond so we thought it'd be best to buy some cat shampoo and give it a go, never again will we put him through that trauma oml
That's just how ancient cats look. They've lost muscle mass. Their bone structure has changed. These two facts or factors, combined with a thinning coat, make the fur look much more raggedy than it really is. I brush my 24-1/3 year-old Ragdoll every day. I've changed brushes several times because of bony protrusions and thinning skin. A stranger might think that I don't take care of him. I'd gladly trade what's left of his appearance if I could just get some of his mind back.
Same. I had my cat for 9 years, and I still miss him so much one year after his death. But having a pet for 30 years...I don't even want to imagine the pain after losing it.
This cat would've lived through: The reunification of Germany The collapse of the Soviet Union The invasion of Iraq The invasion of Afghanistan The Yugoslav Wars 9/11 And definitely many more.
She was born right after the Iranian Revolution and she died after Michael Jackson's death Also: She saw the ascencion of China as the 2nd Global Superpower
Must have one hell of a family to live so long. 30 years is incredible. Looks fairly healthy too considering her age. Didnt even know cats could live past low 20s. Well done.
@@maven9323 The owner said in one of the comments that they bathed her when she was 27 but she didn't breath for 10 minutes. They thought she died but when they wanna buried her she came back alive for the next 3 years hence she was 30 when she was passed away. I don't think it's mud just matted fur. Btw cat don't really need bath tho. Very old cat like this one really need to be very careful about giving them bath because they can get shocked and their body might can't handle it.
My cat was circa 15-16 when she died. Someone in the neighborhood poisoned cats and they got to her too. My heart broke that day. She was perfectly healthy when she left and she was dying when she came home. Not even a miracle could've saved her.
That's terrible. I'm surprised she lived for so long (being an outdoor cat, they tend to have shorter lives), but at least you had over 15 years with her.
yeah, especially if they were born in the wild, or released into the wild at a young age. we found our cat in the woods and he’s a natural hunter now. and he hates humans. a lot. but we praise him like a king 👑😭🙌🙌
My mother owned a cat that lived to the age of 22. He was born in October 1999 and died in Feburary 2022. My mom had him from the age of 18 to 40. What's sad is he eventually got so old and crippled she decided to put him down because he was suffering.
Still inquisitive and interested. So nice to see. My cat was the same, though only 23 years. He may have lived longer, but quality of life issues were getting to him. I can only hope my other 3 cats have lives just as long and healthy as my first cat.
My cat was also 23. He was amazingly healthy for the most part, but we ended up putting him down when he starting having small fits. But amazingly he could still move around completely fine and if anything overgroomed himself sometimes. Somehow was this healthy after being run over twice before the age of 8. He was a weirdly lucky cat
She's definitely loved so much. If she lived in the wild, there's just no way she'd live that long. Props to her hooman Edit : Apparently there's a debate on religious views in the reply section. Just wanna give you a heads up 😂
My grandfather cat lived 24 years. Nobody knew his real age, my grandparents pick up him from street 🐈⬛ I remember him from childhood, he be very smart, gentle and brave. When grandparents live in country house by summer, he fight with all cats around. His name be Sharkey in honor of Captain Sharkey (one of Conan Doyle literature characters).
My eldest cat is now 7 years old. I found her as a newborn on a rainy day in an alley, and I would wake up as early as 4 am to feed her and put her back to sleep. She's my baby. From time to time, the thought of her growing old and me moving on with my life without her breaks my heart. I'll never be prepared for that moment. 🥺😢
That’s pretty amazing your cat was able to live that long . It’s heartbreaking when we have to let our loved ones go. I’m never ready when my dogs die , it sucks but sadly that’s life. We just gotta treasure the time we have with one another. :)
You are an immensely good human for not discarding her, just because she's old and frail. Too many people discard pets when they become old, preferring the eternal kitten. I can't express how low I'm bowing down to you.
We lost our female cat Princess in May, 2023. The same day she was euthanized we got another shelter cat. Tomie, our "new" male, age 5 was glad we didn't wait. We are so used to two (or more) cats, we couldn't face returning home to our one remaining feline name Tigger.
She never really had many problems except with her hearing and vision at age 20-25. The last 5 years she never really declined. We were lucky to not have any internal organ failures and things along those lines.

If you're tight on money and elect to not have your pet sedated prior to euthanasia, if they go down "rough," the owner is going to feel awful for not paying the little bit extra. Plus, that's not the last memory you want to have with your beloved fur baby. Sedation is always done by us. It's just included in the cost to ensure things are as peaceful as possible. Moreover, after the owners leave, we try to make paw prints for the owners. These get mailed with sympathy cards to the owners. These aren't things we need to do, but again, we want owners to have as good of memories as possible. Every bit takes time though, too. Realistically, utilizing an exam room and staff to ensure everything is taken care of appropriately....unfortunately in the real world, everything has costs associated with it. Like I said, we DO NOT nickel and dime people, especially at these times. It's just a matter of being realistic. Sorry for the long explanation but i just wanted to try and be thorough and clear. Hope that makes sense.

I have a 23 year old cat, and the Vet has told me not to bathe him or shave him. He's a Persian Tabby mix. I did shave him very carefully a year ago, and the fur hasn't grown back very well. I have to keep him extra warm everyday, and all of us in the family take care of him. He's very loved, very well cared for, and has always lived the life of a prince as most cats deserve. After 23 years together, I can't imagine a home without him. We are grateful for everyday.
why did you shave him?
@@scribblecloud older cats seem to have issues with their fur, they don't or can't maintain themselves the way they did when they were younger, fur tends to get knotted, clumps up, can't brush it out, the only option is shaving it off.

I have heated cat beds for my seniors.
@@Tom-kn6sr or you could brush them daily like youre supposed to anyway. And instead of shaving you couldf just cut out the mats with scissors and they'd lose a lot less fur. I don't think a cat should ever be shaved unless its been neglected and there's no other option.

My cat passed away earlier this year on the 7th of January after three long months of fighting back brain tumor. My country is barely advanced in terms of pet care, so we don't have an animal brain surgeon in the country itself. It was heart rending. He was fighter to the end, but the waiting and the balancing between hope and despair is crippling. I didn't want to put him down, I want to see through all possible method to save him. But in the end, his insides had rotten, he barely ate and probably couldn't digest his recovery meal well, and finally when I combed him, his fur came off too easily. I knew then that he no longer able to fight, his immunity had fallen. So, after a moment of processing this fact, I decided to let him go.
I didn't share the days of watching him slowly withering because I feel that it isn't something I should talk about. But now that a few months have passed, I found talking about him therapeutic.
This cat had lived such a beautiful, and happy life I can tell. This cat was blessed for living 30 years, God bless❤

The average lifespan for a pet cat is probably around 13 to 14 years. However, although their lifespan varies, a well cared for cat may commonly live to 15 or beyond, some make it to 18 or 20 and a few extraordinary felines even pass 25 or 30 years of age.

That's just how ancient cats look. They've lost muscle mass. Their bone structure has changed. These two facts or factors, combined with a thinning coat, make the fur look much more raggedy than it really is.

yeah, especially if they were born in the wild, or released into the wild at a young age. we found our cat in the woods and he’s a natural hunter now. and he hates humans. a lot. but we praise him like a king 👑😭🙌🙌
I don't think so
@@vousfou1378 actually they are right, i have a cousin who is much much under 30.
My mother owned a cat that lived to the age of 22. He was born in October 1999 and died in Feburary 2022. My mom had him from the age of 18 to 40. What's sad is he eventually got so old and crippled she decided to put him down because he was suffering.
Still inquisitive and interested. So nice to see. My cat was the same, though only 23 years. He may have lived longer, but quality of life issues were getting to him. I can only hope my other 3 cats have lives just as long and healthy as my first cat.
My cat was also 23. He was amazingly healthy for the most part, but we ended up putting him down when he starting having small fits. But amazingly he could still move around completely fine and if anything overgroomed himself sometimes. Somehow was this healthy after being run over twice before the age of 8. He was a weirdly lucky cat
@@somebodyyoudontknow3980 Small fits = euthanasia?
@@somebodyyoudontknow3980 It seems to me from the comments that cats live much longer than dogs.
@@NotGord yeah cats usually have a longer lifespan
14 years later.....And that cat is still alive.....in our hearts. RIP❤
Still looks beautiful at 30 may the cat rest in peace
RIP Ashley. You were a great cat.
She's definitely loved so much. If she lived in the wild, there's just no way she'd live that long. Props to her hooman
Edit : Apparently there's a debate on religious views in the reply section. Just wanna give you a heads up 😂

i hope this cat is getting all the treats in kitty heaven
No, it decomposes in the ground
@@kenjivideos5292 i wish you nothing but the worst in life.

I’ve already made it to adulthood, had many pets die due to age sickness etc. And this little guy still has a decade on me.
I feel this! But it will be 6 more years before I’m older than this kitty was XD
15 years ago this video has created!
My grandfather cat lived 24 years. Nobody knew his real age, my grandparents pick up him from street 🐈⬛
I remember him from childhood, he be very smart, gentle and brave. When grandparents live in country house by summer, he fight with all cats around. His name be Sharkey in honor of Captain Sharkey (one of Conan Doyle literature characters).
What did you guys feed him? Any tips?
My eldest cat is now 7 years old. I found her as a newborn on a rainy day in an alley, and I would wake up as early as 4 am to feed her and put her back to sleep. She's my baby. From time to time, the thought of her growing old and me moving on with my life without her breaks my heart. I'll never be prepared for that moment. 🥺😢
How does she look now? My oldest cat was just 5 years old the he died because of an illness he was a stray too
@@milesrn2312 Aw I'm sorry to hear that. 💔 Mine looks well and healthy, thankfully. I had her spayed so she never leaves the house on her own.
Rest in Peace my friend.
Mad respect to the owners for giving him a good life and taking so much care of him.
Female cat
My cat is 16. The way she acts I swear she will out live me.
Oh, cat of my age.
No matter how old they get. The love they have for you will always be strong
Man, that cat was older in this video than I am currently. And I'm a grown ass man who's graduated college and has a 3 year old son. That's insane.
This is a gem. So happy for the kitty to have lived that long. Rest in peace sweet baby kitty.
That’s pretty amazing your cat was able to live that long . It’s heartbreaking when we have to let our loved ones go. I’m never ready when my dogs die , it sucks but sadly that’s life. We just gotta treasure the time we have with one another. :)
You just need to remember that you will also be deceased one day, and you might underestimate how long it will take.
Yeah, and you recommended this to me 11 years later. Good job, RUclips, good job.
Yes good job *compliment *
If this got recommend to you 11 years ago will you even watch it?
@@maven9323 i live for cats so you could say so haha
Haha i have a cat too
You are an immensely good human for not discarding her, just because she's old and frail. Too many people discard pets when they become old, preferring the eternal kitten. I can't express how low I'm bowing down to you.
What an amazing strong creature. She made the absolute most of her life.
she
We lost our female cat Princess in May, 2023. The same day she was euthanized we got another shelter cat. Tomie, our "new" male, age 5 was glad we didn't wait. We are so used to two (or more) cats, we couldn't face returning home to our one remaining feline name Tigger.
