Let's see, my oldest is now 14 and going strong.....Poogie, a calico that's mean as a snake. My oldest died last year at 22.......Cutter, all black and a great cat! As they get older they do develop some odd health problems so be on the lookout.

If you have a good vet they can do wonders. Our vet uses some "home remedies" as well. I had a cat with bowel problems and my vet suggested a 1/2 teaspoon of gasoline fer chrissake! I admit that I thought the guy was nuts, but it did work, sorta. It ain't too easy to get a half teaspoon of gasoline down a cat's throat, but when I did, he liked to tore me to shreds getting away. He blasted around the room about 3 or 4 times, ran up the hallway, up the stairs, back down both, and into the den, leaped on the drapes and ran to the end of the curtain rod where he stopped and fell to the floor. I thought I'd killed the poor thing, but it turns out he'd just run out of gas.
