Spending 18 years with your cat is an amazing feat. It's something that we wish we could have with our cats. I look at my little fluffball, 11 years old, and I pray every day that she lives so many more years. But at the same time, I know that if I'm lucky enough to have her live till 18, I will still not feel like it was enough time. Because it never is, is it? 18 years were certainly not enough for the person whose story we'll be talking about today. Cats should live forever.
You can never know how long you have with your feline. That's why we say that you should always make the best out of every second with them. Some cats live unexpectedly short lives, some cats live to be super seniors, and some cats even break records. I'm talking about you, Flossie, the oldest living cat who, just last week, celebrated her 31st birthday.
Ginger was loved his entire life by his owner. For 18 long and beautiful years, this cat was spoiled and loved, and his life was everything that it was supposed to be. But the day he crossed the rainbow bridge, of all days, was a day his soul-human wasn't with him. She was at the airport, and she arrived half an hour after she passed, heartbroken that she wasn't able to say goodbye.
But her beautiful kitty wasn't mad. If anything, looking at her own story in retrospect, she figures that he was worried. About her. He's always been there to watch over her, the same way that she watched over him. That last day didn't count. He wasn't upset. And he showed that to her by arranging a CDS delivery for her.
