Yesterday I needed to do some vacuuming downstairs. The cats are terrified of the vac. As soon as I fired it up, one cat ran straight upstairs. Our older male cat, who is a bit of a klutz, tried to run and leap from the side of the staircase up to the 3rd step. He missed and fell backwards into a large water bowl we have on the floor near the stairs. Water and wet cat went everywhere. I didn't know whether to laugh about the sight of the cat thrashing around in the water bowl or cry about the mess I had to now clean up.

Golden nerves

My sweet Golden love to just lie down in the backseat Rarely looks out the window. I think she may be afraid.
I'd post a photo of her but don't know which button to use to upload

An easy way to post pics is to go to "Go Advanced" and use the paperclip icon.

we had one. definitely a unique dog. SMART dog! sweet when she wanted to be, but also her teeth were nearly the same size as our 75-lb labrador. the JRT bullied that lab to no end.

if JRTs were the size of labradors, they might rule the planet.

LOL. We really lucked out. She is pretty lazy overall, and the only ones she ever terrorized were my friends that would use my shop while I was at work.
We had a Husky that would get my friends attention, then the two small dogs would come in from behind and try to hamstring them. They were like little Velociraptors.

Kitty is lounging, which she does a lot. She also loves to play and run through the house (zoomies) and get lots of love. She will be 11 this year. She is very sweet and is my favorite cat and I've had them all my life.

We're in the process of adopting this little flufferbutt.
His name is Tucker. He's part sheepdog, part poodle.

As a former trackster, in this household we call those zoomies 'track meets'. They're the furballs' equivalent of the indoor 60-meter dash: super-fast start, extremely quick acceleration to top speed, and over with about the time you realize what all that noise is about (hard flooring here). We love that sound, as it tells us that our 16˝-year old cat is still getting it on!

According to the internet:

"Creme Puff is the oldest cat ever at 38 years and 3 days old. She was born on August 3, 1967, and died on August 6, 2005."

Which means our kitties have the possibility of many years of fun and exhilarating zoomies left. Possible, but not likely to go that far.

Thirty-eight years of age for a cat is unbelievable, isn't it.

Going back to the mid-70s, we've had six fur balls, and the current one is the longest-lived. We've never stinted on food quality or medical care, so maybe a specific cats' native longevity is about genetics.

I'll say this: if our fur ball lives to 30+ years of age, she's definitely going to outlive us, and not by just a few years!

My oldest cat lived to 14 and died from lymphoma. It was very sad. I loved him dearly.

My older sister had a cat that lived in to his 20s. I think he was 22 but I'm not positive.

BTW, dradernh, I like “track meets.” We might start using that expression around here. I’ll ask Sam (my kitty) and see if she approves.

According to the guys on VinWiki, its safer to call them 'rallys'. I think the flooring takes a hit either way. At our place, the starting grid usually forms as I start a work video call.

Funny story about one of my former cats.
Christmas tree tinsel is made from plastic. Joey decided to eat some. Well he came running out of the litter box a few days later with a turd following him attached to the end of a piece of tinsel.
When I pulled it out the rest of the way, he took off faster than any car I've ever seen. Zero to 60 in 1 second.
We stopped using tinsel after that.

^ I pulled out some string one time from one of my cats. He didn't like it at all. He hissed at me and took off running. That must not feel too good. Don’t think I’d like it either. lol
