How has it held up so well! That kitty must be very gentle, mine kicks the stuffing out of hers.

Yeah my little dude has been dragging around his favorite toy going on 6 years now. That toy has had quite a rew restorative surgeries, and likely many more to come. We've got clones of the toy in the closet for parts - he doesn't tolerate a swap lol.

I have a 19 year old cat too. Mine is gray and fluffy. The vet can hardly believe she's so old and would have thought she was 10. She is a energetic, loving ball of fluff.

Unfortunately, one of her sons recently passed. He was 12.5 and died about 10 feet away from where he was born. We are all heart broken but she is just as happy and sparkling as always.

Cat tax, though she's 17 in this image

Here is a more recent picture of her with her last living son

This is the cat we just lost
