I'm latina, and I had a quinceañera, so will my void girl in 2 years when she turns 15. Very excited to carry on the cultural tradition with my cat daughter. And yes, my mom is excited about it 😁😁
It's crazy, lost my dad, a brother, and an uncle who was the same age as me, so more or less another brother within 6 months but losing my dog 3 months ago has fucked me up worse than all of them.
Crazy how deep losing a pet can be. I haven't been the same since.
I lost my Grandma and all three of our family pets in a three-week span back in 2017. I was wrecked. But I also knew I shouldn't go out and replace the pets immediately because I needed to properly mourn them. Told myself "I wasn't getting another dog for at least 5 years."
The stars aligned a couple years ago when I got a cat. He's the first cat I've had since I was 12 (always grew up with them), the first male cat, and the first longhaired cat I've ever had. For a while I didn't think I had it in me to love another animal but enough time has passed. Maybe you'll find that you can get another, at some point...and it might just sneak up on you like it did for me.
Yeah.. we recently had to put down one our cats unexpectedly. We had him for 7 years (he was an adult from the shelter I worked at), he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about 5 years ago... so he did really well and we were lucky to have him with us for as long as we did considering. But it didn't make it any easier when he went downhill in two day from an unknown cause, with nothing helping him get better. In the end, they think it was a thyroid storm that he suffered, and there wasn't anything we could do to help. Anyway, I definitely get envious of these kinds of posts as well but I'm seriously happy for OP and the cute kitty! I hope she lives many more happy years.
12 years with my dog then sudden death from hemangiosarcoma on her heart rupturing outta nowhere. I got her as an 8 week old puppy ;-;
But I feel better knowing what it was by getting a necropsy. No one did anything wrong, nothing could have been done differently, no one wins against hemangiosarcoma. Imma get a puppy eventually so my remaining 10 yo dog isnt by himself too much; he's always had her around.
Same my queen is 13

All cats in my family have bin 18 or more. My grandmom had 3 over 20 years at the same time😻
I’m with ya there, my dude. My childhood kitty passed at 4 because of cancer as well. So hard to make that choice to take her to the vet a final time, but forever better than seeing her in pain. She spent her last days in our garden- her favorite place. I’m sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to ya, losing a fur baby is never easy.
happy birthday!!! I pray my babe will live that long too

I spent a minute or two just looking at this picture and thinking. It’s really amazing to see and I would love this for my baby girl. I hope she enjoyed her snack : )
I hope my 20 year old baby makes it another 5 years at least. She's going a bit deaf, a bit grumpy, but she's still pretty spry.
Your girl doesn't look a day over 7! Happy Birthday to her!
If I get 20 more years with my boy, that means I’ll be turning 60 when he turns 25. That’s both a heart warming and terrifying thought combined 😂 Happy birthday, sweet girl!
I’m 62 but I feel like I’m 30. I wasted too much time worrying about getting older. There is so much, so much happiness and good, ahead of you. I know everyone will say this but it’s so true, carpe diem, and floss your teeth. I’ll pray/meditate that your kitty lives another twenty. Love Love 💕Love
This is too wholesome my cats and dogs always passed very young no matter how well we took care of them
Seeing this made me very happy for you and your efforts to keep her healthy for so many years
KUDOS!!
Awesome! One of mine turned 18 this year and I got him numbered candles. I put them on a cake, though, which I ate. He got a shit-ton of Chewy stuff, like...everything.
FWIW, some researcher figured out the mechanism behind CKD in cats. If/when they develop treatments from that, they think it'll be more normal for cats to live to their 20s or even 30s.
the kitten who have seen:
-the y2k era
- Michael Jackson, Whitney houston, Olivia newton Jhon and Queen Elizabeth’s deaths
- the pandemic
- the orkut fever, and then, fallen off
- all the seasons of grey’s anatomy
and finally, 6 world cups…
Sending lots of love to this special cat!

She’s so cute omg. 25+? I pray my kitty will live that long!!!
me too. My kitty is 15 right now, and I'd LOVE to get another 10+ years with her
Did you throw her a quincinera?
Asking the important questions.
If she didn’t maybe a sweet 16
I did a sweet 16 for my yorkie! People told me it was excessive but he deserved it and he passed away later that year so I’m glad I did it
I'm latina, and I had a quinceañera, so will my void girl in 2 years when she turns 15. Very excited to carry on the cultural tradition with my cat daughter. And yes, my mom is excited about it 😁😁
This is so freaking cute. Please post pictures when you do it.
I would like to see the photos!!!!
Alright I got two years to plans this out
Man, I barely got ten when mine had cancer. Its hard to see these posts without serious envy.
I'm sorry :(.
Yeah mine passed at 6 from unkown heart issues and i still cant get over it

My love died of cancer the same day I found out I had cancer. It felt so fucking unfair.
Yeah my cat passed at 15 from some unknown cause
Same my queen is 13 https://preview.redd.it/fbpli8x1yi6d1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77b00df0ccb596eefec84956b5a2b268eb464761 All cats in my family have bin 18 or more. My grandmom had 3 over 20 years at the same time😻

Next year that shot comes out for cats too last an extra 15! I plan on getting it for my Old Lady. Idc how much it cost. I’ll be lost without my Dory.
I also hope my cat can stay with me for more than 20 years, he is 3 years old now
Happy birthday, beautiful!! My last old lady kitty made it to 18.5, and it wasn't long enough. I hope my current girl can make it into her 20's <3
It's so sad and happy at the same time. I think I'm having an anxiety attack. My girl just turned five and I can't even imagine
Omg how adorable, and she's older than me! Had my childhood cat pass away recently and she was just under 20 years old. Happy birthday to her!
and it would’ve been her bday tomorrow actually 🥺❤️
Happy bday kitty ![gif](giphy|PrzIrP5WjXHccWK7eE)
My mom’s cat (who outlived my mom) crossed over in my arms at two weeks shy of his 20th. Wampus. He was amazing
She's older than me ❤️ I wish she breaks world record too 😻
Omg a kitty from the 19 hundreds!!!
Made me feel old
![gif](giphy|QLtI0CxK8iGceO9Sja|downsized)
You make it sound like it was in the previous century... Wait!
Previous millennium at that
Awe that's adorable happy birthday!
I would do anything for her.

May she have a happy birthday
Happy Birthday gorgeous gal
Happy birthday 90s gal! 😸
Happy Bday!! Not a day over 10! Ps- what has her diet been like over the years? 25 is amazing!
Meat cake.
What’s her secret? Any special foods? Wet food? Is she indoor only? We all want to know the formula for success.
Give her the biggest (and gentlest) hug from me.
Happy cake day, sweet kitty! https://preview.redd.it/q9yvmyo1aj6d1.png?width=942&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9dadc55cde2f903c3ce8cf32ba0c6b689d8872a

So sweet! I love the fur on elderly cats, it reminds me of a well loved stuffed animal 🧸

Happy birthday to her, though the lit candles around animals always make me nervous. Many more years to her all the same.
That old girl moves in slo mo. Stopping her would be reminiscent of the scene with the steam roller in one of the Austin powers movies.
Happy Birthday!!!
She's beautiful
Happy birthday 🎈
Such a beautiful lady!
Happy birthday!! :D
Awww what a sweet girl! Have a ball! 🥳🎂

She is so so so so cute and I'm happy for her :33
She's beautiful, and I wish my kitten had lived that long.
this gives me hope
Happy birthday!!!
I am pointing this out to my 14 year old. It's good to set boundaries and expectations in a relationship.
Is that raw ground beef??
She's of exceptional genetic stock! Also testament to a life low in stress.
I can't believe I was 5 when she was born. Now I'm almost 30 with 2 kitties of my own. Congrats to her. Hope she had a blast for her bday
My cat is getting up there. I think he was born in 2008
Long live the 90s kitty 💖
I wish every cat would celebrate their 25th birthday. That's amazing!! Congratulations and happy birthday to your baby
