Which makes them 48 in human years - older than I by 7 months. :P

The twins will be 7 around July 1.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. One is four and the other one is four or five

14. Wow!

15. We've adopted a stray who might be one of the oldest cats in the world.

But how can we know his age with any certainty?

He's just pretty darned old, that's for sure.
I've met a couple of over-20 cats, and he moves just like they did.

I may have pictures soon.

16. My cat Tubby is 16

but he has a tumor between his shoulder blades and I don't know what to do. He had the same tumor (non-cancerous) a year ago and they were reluctant to remove it because of his age. They finally did and he made it through fine. I'm sure they will be even more reluctant to do it this time.

I had a cat that died this last August and she was 16, too. I can't imagine losing another one soon. I also have a 12 year old and a 2 year old.

18. My Pumpkin is heading on 19.
