I thought everyone here would like to see some pictures of him when he was younger

This photo was taken just as he started to get sick he lost so much strength so quickly

We had a cat who got to 21, Jiffy must really have been quite a cat.

He's welcomed through the gates of cat Valhalla, and he will join my cat who lived to be 21, General Whollery Catticus. Sorry for your loss.

Jiffy looks like the most grouchy, assholey, loveable cat possible. I bet he really loved you OP. Remember him well.

Sorry for your loss, I'm sure she passed peacefully, she'll be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge I'm sure, with tail wagging.

Looking at picture #1 there's no way that death didn't receive some serious scratches.

My wife said he looks like he already came back from the dead once, like the Pet Cemetery Cat. I was like "Yeah, I can see that. Death 1/2

Came for him 5 years ago and your cat beat the tar out of him, so death was like "Fine, you can live 5 more years, but then you have to pass

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

So not only did your cat live a damned long life, it beat up death as well :). Truly Cathalla material.

If we apply the whole 1 human year = 7 dog years to cats, then that cat lived to be 161. Imagine a human that old

How much is this in cat years ?

8 years ago | Likes 23 Dislikes 0

About 108

No such thing as "cat years". Healthy cats often live to around 12-15, but the record is mid 30s. So there's lots of variability.

Rate then ourselves

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

Cat years are a measure of there body's biogical age compared to ours due to the rate they mature is much faster, and so they age at a faste

8 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 2

They are meaningless because there is no 7 per 1 or any other nonsensical measure. They age differently than us.

...hence the term "cat years" and "dog years"
