well i can top that. mike had a cat that died last summer named holly. well, this cat was 21. and she never had a sick day in her life.
she never even had worms.
one day she just died overnite.
mike knew she would be dying within a few years the vet explained to mike that is why she kept losing weight.
she was a small cat anyway. she used to weigh seven pounds.
the last time she was weighed before her death she was only a little over four pounds.

My mother has a cat right now that's wasting away like that. It's a Himalayan. I think that cat is about seventeen years old.
The twenty year old cat is really too fat. She's got her on that weight gaining cat food.

holly was never fat. and she was always tiny. she is the only cat i know who lived so long. my brothers cat tiger is 16 years old. he is a bit overweight. but not as fat as some cats get.

I've always wanted to try to breed mice that live to be ten years old.

I dont know. I gues benji is weird that way. i guess if the possum could use his hands like a mouse could it might be cool.

That would be cool. Mice are really fascinating to me because of how they can use their little hands.

Hi Gingy, I get the queen thing...with 2 dogs and 2 cats, I often wake up feeling like "Guliver" pinned with my blankets by the "little people"! My old gray russian female cat is most regal! She is only content sleeping RIGHT next to my head! Any time I go to the throne...I am immediately surrounded! I like your cher better then the human!

about mice..."mousie" (gray russian) eats everything she catchs...mice, red squirrals, birds...and some-I'm-not-sure-whats!...she leaves only the stomaches! "Herbie" my long haired black and white male kills mice outside but the ones in the house are his friends. Mousie only gave a pass to one shrew the same color gray as her...let him eat out of her dish!!! My critters are a TRIP!!! Full food bowl always. I leave my house door open always except coldest of winter. My sister was afraid a skunk might come in...I said "no, the skunk lives UNDER the house. Bears come to my house to lay with their cubs under the tree by my yard light, 50 yards from my door. they like the special moss that only grows there. The deer are many and come 10 yards from the door. dogs are pitbull/rottwieller cross. They're not mean, but don't allow monkey business..as in you can't take my stuff. I am alot like "Ellie-mae" with the critters. They are nicer then most humans!

oh, the critters all run loose. Tigger's greatest treet is to come into the places where I play music on the last trip in to get my gear. She loves to meet the people...and they love her. She's Brindle with amber colored eyes. Diamond, is her pup from her last litter, black and tan with hazel eyes. Her daddy is a registered chocolate lab...this litter, same daddy dog. Tiggy only stays in her cage, cause she was in heat, if she wants to...she didn't want to. Anybody need a puppy? They will be ready 6/7/08. They don't like coyotes. Wolves go around my property, not accross.
