Awesome picture! I have an 18 year-old cat, too (two-year cancer survivor) along with a 12, an 11, a 10, and three 9 year-olds. Tell Nick happy birthday,and if you ever want some righteous catnip, I'll be happy to send you some of my homegrown. Before the pot jokes start, it really IS just catnip... but along that route... a friend of ours mixed up her baggies and gave us some "wacky catnip" by accident a few years ago. The cats just ignored it but I'll bet she got an odd buzz the next time she smoked up.  ;D :mrgreen:

Happy Birthday Nick ;D.
 I'm a big time cat lover. My wife and I are currently fostering a beautiful siamese momma and her six kittens. We also have two of our own.

Happy Birthday to your cat. Cats can live a long time. My last cat lived to be about 20.

Happy B-Day Nick! I don't think I've ever been without a cat in the house.

Everybody is wondering, but nobody dares to ask, so I will, is Nick un-neutered and having a ball or two on his birthday?

Thanks, everyone! Nick is one of the four cats I've had since the past 18 years. His brother Finway died at 12, Gideon died at 13 and besides Nick I still have Magnolia, the calico. She's a youngster at around 8. I used to think 4 cats was too many then when Finway died, three suddenly wasn't enough!
Nick's been great, through lots of bad times and lots of good. I'm grateful to him for sticking around so long!

Uwe believes in calling a spayed a spayed... ;)

Hopefully he's slowed down enough to stop bringing home feathered creatures...

Wow - that is amazing! Happy birthday to your cat! My cat is 15 (adopted her when she was 11), I hope she makes it to 18 and beyond! I just turned 40 today myself...

Otanjou-bi Omedetou Gozaimasu! Harry-San... ;D (hope I got that phoenetically rite :o)

Cat to human years is not as easy to calculate - a quick delve found that it is a sliding scale, unklike the 7-1 with dogs...

That chart is very interesting.  I've never seen anything like that.  I'm going to share this with a friend who should find this very useful.

the dog thing is also on a sliding scale. the 7-1 ratio does not apply anymore.

Happy birthday to da kitty!

I just did a quick calculation on my 12 (?) year old dog Max and found that he's about the same "age" I am.  

No wonder he's such a fine 22-pound specimen of canine studliness!

Cool cat Denis!  We have 4 of them.  3 indoor females and one outdoor male, all fixed!  The outdoor male just showed up one day about 1 1/2 years ago and we still call him Gray Stray. (even though he is ours)  The others are Angel Cake, Yoshi and Banshee.  They range from 3 to 6 years old.
