I might be biased, but my very first (and only) kitty that I got at eight weeks old is still alive. She turns 17 in July. She was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a year ago. A couple weeks ago she was diagnosed with small cell lymphoma (cancer) in her intestines.

Money is probably the determining factor for life expectancy because figuring out she had cancer in her intestines set me back $3000. 😅 Now that she’s on medication though, she is as lively as ever and is gaining a bunch of weight back which is fantastic 😊

That sounds like a you problem, not a cat problem

I find that hard to believe too. I’ve never known anyone who’s had a cat die younger than like 15, but I suppose it could be true

There is literally a Wikipedia page dedicated to cats that have lived to be older than 25 years: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest-living_cats

Since then, Citron has focused more on closing its community, requiring users to prove they have a modded Switch to unlock certain features.

I had the same thought when the pope passed away https://lemmy.world/post/28537912
