garden is looking great.. a credit to your hard work
Still miss my old moggie 'The Boy', it must be getting on for ten years since he died. He was HUGE!! Four feet long stretched out and nearly forty pounds, all muscle and big bones, no fat. Bigger than my Staffie, but the softest nature ever, never growled, hissed or showed any aggression at all. He just purred. :)

18 - wow, what a magnificent old lady! Can a cat be a mad cat lady? :)
Nice looking cat, Andy, with a 'cheeky' but lovable little face:)
18 isn't so old these days for cats, as like human beings, animals are living longer now, due to improved diets/advances in veterinary medicine, so hopefully she's got a few more years left yet! Our (tabby) cats typically live until their early 20s. Our last black and white made her 22nd birthday!
Fate of course will be fate, but one of the most important things to do with cats (or dogs), in terms of prolonging their longevity, is looking after their teeth! That means a healthy, varied diet, and if necessary keeping tartar under control. That last bit is vitally important, because as soon as any animal starts having tooth or gum problems, it affects their appetite/general well-being, and it can be the beginning of a slippery downwards slope...
Also, just as you would with any human member of your family, keep an eye on your cat(s) and watch for any adverse changes in their behaviour, and if you're concerned, take them immediately to the vet. Plus take them there for regular check-ups and have them immunised annually for cat flu.
Quite simply, if you care for them, don't take any chances with their health, and the likelihood is, barring any unforeseen medical issues, you'll be rewarded with the long relationship of a loving companion.
