I believe it's safe to speak for all s2go members in saying that he will be missed!

Thats too bad. Frown
But on the upside he did live to be 20 yrs. old,that is a pretty good life for a cat if you ask me. Big Grin

A friend of mine had a cat for 21 years. She was utterly devastated when the cat died. Socks was a cute little feline, wasn't he!

I just thought about this... Is that 20 years old in human years or cat years (if there is such a thing)?

I just did an online real cat age test for my 16 year old cat and it came back saying he was 71 years old in cat years. It takes a lot of things like if the cat goes outside and what food it gets and vet care and everything to come up with the age in cat years. Since socks was 20 in human years - He must have been over 100 in cat years

Thanks for clearing that up, appleknocker.

Yep he was a cute cat. I miss mine I had to put her down because she had a Kidney problem.

The Vet had to inject her twice because I was at the end of the table and she was trying to get to me. So I immediately started to pet her and she meowed at me for the last time.

Not to be a big baby but I can't write anymore.

I will not miss him as I did not know him very well.

Mine will be 15 years old in June. He became diabetic for about a year during which I had to stick him twice a day with an insulin shot. Then, it seems, he became cured from Diabetes so he no longer needs the shots. Pretty tough cat I think.
