Our cats may be the most dramatic, moody, downright mean beings in our lives, but let's get one thing straight— we love them more than life itself.
If it weren't for the inevitable scourge of mortality, our cats would 100% be our life partners.
Unfortunately, pet life spans are normally a far bit shorter than our own, and it can be unbearable to part with our furry friends.
My orange ginger cat lived till he was twenty-one years old. Twenty-one.
The average cat lifespan for indoor cats is 12-18 years, so anything over that is nothing less than impressive.
Rubble was born in May of 1988, which means that he is currently celebrating his 32nd birthday!
He lives with his owner Michelle Foster in Exeter, Devon, England.
The feline who previously held the title of oldest living cat was Creme Puff who passed away at age 38 and still holds the record for the oldest a cat has ever lived.
He apparently takes medication for high blood pressure, but things aren't going to be running purrrfectly when you're over 140 years old in cat years.
Michelle is extremely proud of her not-so-baby boy's achievements over the years.
Happy Birthday Rubble!
