My cousin “inherited” a cat when she and her husband bought their house as the prior owners thought that she was too old to move. The cat, a dark gray tabby female, was then 18 years old. My cousin had her for a further 17 years! She died peacefully, in her basket on the back porch just after her 35th birthday.
