Sorry if this has been posted before but I have not seen it - I find this sort of news so reassuring, bless her little socks!

Re: News about a 26 year old cat


That's great if she is 26. I found the artical a bit confusing though. At one point it said the lady took the cat in when her son was 4 and he is now 30. Then it went on to say she had lived ferral for 22 years????

Or am I totally wrong again

Re: News about a 26 year old cat


I think what she's saying Jac, is that the cat kind of lived 'alongside' them. That is was an outside-cat and essentially fed itself until the fox attack.

A heartening article Angie, considering your current concerns with Merlin

26 Thats a good age, my two came close but not close enough.
