Cat Fancy featured a cat ("Grandpa" or something like that) a couple years ago that was in his 30s. 34, 36... Something like that. Probably the same cat Madame Alto refers to. They had a feature about senior cats and many, many were in their 20s hedging on 30. My aunt's cat lived to 24.

My two turn 12 in a couple weeks. Pookey has always liked his own voice and meows a lot. I have noticed both cats over the last few months meow a bit more in the evenings. It is like they are lost in another room... I'll call them and they'll come running and be fine and stop meowing.

I started taking them to the vet for a check-up every 6 months (rather than once a year) starting with their 11th birthday last year. I had a complete bloodwork ran as a baseline and had thyroid levels checked...
