Recently, a cat owner shared a video of their remarkably aged orange cat, which has been making headlines. Born in 1998, this feline is now 26 years old, equivalent to a human centenarian. Despite its advanced age, the cat exudes a fierce spirit, leaving many netizens in awe, with comments like, "What a fortunate old cat!"
In Beijing, a similar high-profile orange cat has been gaining attention. The cat, also born in 1998, is now 26 years old, which is comparable to 135 human years. Although it no longer has the strength to jump onto beds, it still loves to cling to its owner. Every day, it waits patiently beside the bed for its owner to lift it up, so they can spend quality time together. The heartwarming yet poignant scene has moved many viewers.
After the video was released, netizens flooded the comments section with praise: "The cat is well taken care of; you can't tell it's so old," "The cat's sharp eyes show that the owner cares for it very well," and "I hope my cat can live as long and keep me company longer." Many are curious about the owner's secret to keeping the cat so healthy and long-lived.
Veterinarians advise that owners of elderly cats should prioritize regular health check-ups and feed them prescription food designed for seniors. It's also important to supplement their diet appropriately and monitor their emotional and lifestyle needs. Since older cats often experience muscle degeneration, leading to mobility issues, owners should assist by providing non-slip mats and stairs to make their golden years more comfortable.
