Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Thursday, February 23 2006 20:00 Profile Homepage #50 Originally by Tyranicus: quote: You have a 27-year-old cat? That must be some kind of record. From what little I know about the natural lifespan of cats (cars seem to interfere with that a lot), 27 years is impressive but not unheard of. Dikiyoba. Edit: Added quote, since it's the next page.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, February 23 2006 20:51 Profile Homepage #51 I believe the world record for a cat's lifespan is 36 years, and I've known several people who've had cats who lived over 20 years. In general, indoor cats live longer than outdoor cats, provided they're not overfed. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, February 24 2006 02:08 Profile Homepage #54 My cat was always one year older than me. I treated him as "a big brother." Although to be perfectly honest, in comparison to a human, a cat of already 10 years would be 50 years in human lives, although this is very inaccurate. That would mean that my cat was 80 when he died... -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

radix malorum est cupiditas Lifecrafter Member # 6403	written Friday, February 24 2006 02:18 Profile #55 I thought a 10 year old cat would be 70 in cat terms, though I'm probably wrong. One year is one thing, more than twice your age until 7 years from now is something else.

The Lurker Shock Trooper Member # 6821	written Friday, February 24 2006 03:00 Profile #58 As far as I know, it is supposed to be the world's biggest cat. Not sure if it's a crossbreed, though. :) Posts: 363 \| Registered: Wednesday, February 22 2006 08:00

One year is one thing, more than twice your age until 7 years from now is something else. No you're right, I think. multiply it by 7, but that seems even more inaccurate. Is there a scientifical basis for this, actually? That cat on that picture must be twice as big as my cat ever was... It is really enormous! Huge!

Is there a scientifical basis for this, actually? Human ages and cat ages don't really interconvert well on any fixed scale, since humans tend to have much larger periods of childhood and old age in proportion to their total lifespans than cats (or, indeed, any other animals) do.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Friday, February 24 2006 05:05 Profile Homepage #61 I do believe I read somewhere that this picture is photoshopped, and the cat is actually far smaller.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Friday, February 24 2006 08:51 Profile Homepage #63 I once saw a series of graphs comparing various animals' ages with equivalent human ages based on various measurements of senescence. The relationship was not at all linear, but it did average out to something like seven cat or dog years per human year over the first ten years. Obviously cats who live to be 14, which is uncommon but not strikingly rare, are not like 140-year-old humans. —Alorael, who would like to know how long needle/ferrets live and how their lives compare proportionally with human lives.

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, February 24 2006 08:58 Profile Homepage #64 Is an age of 14 uncommon? Why is that? I though that many cats will make it to about 16. Anyway, my cat survived three strokes before he died. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!
