Old cats never die... they just throw up on your carpet.

[Mouser]

Dear Tom:

This past summer, my 18 year old cat Stinky passed. While he actually smelled pretty good, he WAS a real stinker.

Please tell me about the oldest cat who ever owned you?

Warmly,
Mouser

Dear Mouser

We have a cat by name of SOLOMON, who was a very good mouser. Now, however, he's past twenty and doing rather well for such a great age, though he staggers a bit. But he is still our beloved and golden Solly and we dread what the future certainly holds. But then if you can't stand the loss then you should not have a pet. We once had 17 cats! But they broke up into little clans and the spitting and hissing became unbearable.
