Sorry to hear that Bando.

Put her in the ground outside my Daughter's window nice and deep, my Daughter brought the kitten home when she was 8.

Think I'm gonna plant something on the grave, not sure what would be appropriate.

Condolences.
If the grave is close to the house, plant something that has a ball root system.

A cat has gone on a series of camping adventures with his 'dad' - even going hiking with him in the Peak District.

Kyle Kana'iaupuni Robertson, 31, got his cat Pōhaku in March last year and they have been inseparable since - and he soon discovered his new pet was 'dog like' in his love of adventure.

Her story begins in December 1995 when Flossie was adopted by a worker at Merseyside hospital in Liverpool. At the time, she roamed free as a young stray and lived in a colony of cats close to the hospital.


Flossie lived with her owner for 10 years, until that person died and she was adopted by her owner's sister and lived with her for 14 years until the sister died.

At age 24, her previous owner's son took her in. She lived with him for about three years but in the end, he took her to Cats Protection for her "best interests."

"It wasn't an easy decision," said Naomi Rosling at Cats Protection. "He sought our help ... Responsible cat ownership is when someone thinks about an animal's needs above their feelings."

But she was soon adopted by Vicki Green, who has cared for four senior cats, with one living to 21 years old.

"I knew from the start that Flossie was a special cat, but I didn't imagine I'd share my home with a world record holder," said Green, who is 27.

Despite the fact she can't hear or see, Flossie is still playful, Green said. She is also in good health and enjoys cuddles and food. "She never turns her nose up at the chance of a good meal," Green said.

"She sometimes misses her litter box or needs help grooming herself, but I can help with all of that. We're in this together," she said.

The pair have bonded so much, Green said Flossie sleeps through the night with her, snuggled on the bed with her owner.

"If I’m in such good shape when I'm her age with someone who does what’s best for me when I need it most, I shall be a very happy lady," Green said.



Similar to humans, energy or calorie requirements in cats initially decrease in their senior years but unlike humans, energy requirements start to increase around 11 years of age, according to VCA Animal Hospitals. That's because as cats age, they have difficulty digesting fats, proteins, and energy.

The average lifespan of cats is about 13 to 14 years, according to the U.K.'s Cat Care 4 Life, a nonprofit organization that helps people care for their cats.

At age 15, cats are considered geriatric.



The oldest cat to ever live was named Creme Puff, who lived in Austin, Texas until 2005 with his owner Jake Perry. The senior kitty died at 38 years and 3 days old.

"We wish Flossie the best, and we look forward to seeing her next adventures," Guinness World Records posted on its website. "In the meantime, rest assured that this beautiful kitty is being cuddled and adored by her loving family."
