Sorry to say Baby passed over the Rainbow Bridge a few years ago. Her human companions continue to miss him daily. Thanks Al for sharing Baby with us - GOD Bless you!
Some things TOTALLY AMAZE us. Is Baby still a live after what would now be 41 years? Surely if he is he MUST be VERY frail now as he must have been 4 years ago. Could he still go out hunting even at 36 yrs? Surely not. PLEASE let me know if he could still be as active then & if he's STILL alive? I've worked animal husbandry, I saw a cat that was around 20 yrs old in my job at RSPCA & EVEN he was becoming frail.
my cat has just dide in the last hour her name was rats i am a 21 year old man and i am in tears :( rip rats you had a good 16 years with me and will never be foregottorn
Great Stuff Baby was almost 39! Unbelievable! Hope My Cat makes it to its 30s! She is about 6 Rescued from kids in neighborhood in a shopping cart throwing sticks and stones at Her! Cat Was about 2 yrs when found as per Vet in august 2007! Cutest thing Ever, Thats her Name Thing, Short 4 Thingamajig!
Baby was a stray. I have no idea just when he was born. All i could really go with was from what the Vet, and Animal Rescue could tell me. I don't know breeds either. Baby was more than just a cat to us.. He was Family. I don't know of Burmese.. he was smart when he was growing up. I could throw his toy. He would sit by me untill I told him to fetch it. He would then run and get it and bring it right back and drop it by my foot.
Baby made it to 38 years. He may have been the oldest living cat, but he would never make it into the books.. I was told that they wanted a birth certificate.. When do they issue birth certificates to animals..
Did Baby break the world record for cat years? If she was 36 i this video and the oldets is 38, and this was in 2007, what year did she die and did she break the record?
Al I think it is great that you posted baby on here. What a pretty kitty. Sorry to here of her passing. Know that you all had a beautiful life together.
I don't think I can take it when our cat dies :( We got it when I was 2, so, well, his not THAT old yet, and I think I'll still have many great moments with him. I hope I'm way more grown up when he dies. Then I might get over it.
there isnt anything unusual about a cat living that long. ive had cats all my life. we had one that lived 22 years. my neighbor has one thats 24. the one i have now is 9. and all these cats are outside/inside cats.
Why is it hard to belive. Then it is very hard to belive that people can live past 90. I can't answer why Baby lasted that long. The pictures of Baby you see there were we he was 36. He was about 20lbs then. Baby diesd at 38. He was 4lbs then. Not much after that interview Baby started to go down hill. I took him to the Vet, but was told that because of his age.. There are alot of things happening inside of him. He was old, and some parts were not working well.
@TheGregEgg Sorry.. I didn't know that I needed a written note from the Vet as to the age of Baby.. Jut let it go.. Baby is dead now. he never hurt you in any way shape or form. He was just a poor little cat that lasted a long time., and no the cat in the picture is Baby along with the other cat we had then.. Mama Kity
@westgateblvd And when did I say or imply that he had at some point hurt me? When outrageous claims are made then it's time inject a healthy dose of skepticism. I could claim my cat died at 37, but that doesn't make it so. Anybody who would believe my statement without questioning it is very gullible. Now, if I told you that my cat died at 18 years old then it would be reasonable to believe me as everyone knows cats frequently live past 18 years and there is nothing outrageous about my claim.
My grey tabby Tabitha is going to be 18 years old tomarrow June 15. She was born in our old house in 1993. She needs special attention cause she gets confused but we love her. Baby looked really good for an old cat. They are really good companions.
its hard when you get close and bond with a critter when they die i know i lost my cat zelda my first year of college she was 23 yrs old she waited till i got home and climbed in my lap and went to sleep i dont think the pain ever goes away to be honest it just gets a lil easer to deal with
I would have beat the shit out of this kids hey if you kids that hurt that kid read this come throw fireworks at me and see what happens and yeah your prob like 40 now so I can beat the shit out of you. Don't mess with the cats
My cat is 24 years old and he is very healthy, except for a cough is that normal? hes had it for years now and it only happens when you pick him up or wake him from his sleep. I also rescued him though which seems odd as the cats i purchased from a pet store died after 7 years.(either way my cat is older than i am)
My cat was abused and lived on the streets. My dad took care of the whole litter before I was born and soon took the kittens and the mother and found them homes, one was left in a cooler at a party by toddlers and killed. My 19 year old cat looks the exact same as baby same color shape and eyes. She lives in y room because m. Famy is extremely allergic. She doesn't get too much exercise and is a little light but has many years to go!
Baby was just a baby when I brought him home. He was very small. The runt of the litter.. Was I suppose to rename him before he died to something else?? Baby died March 22, 2008. He was 38 years old. there isn't a day that goes by that I don't catch myself thinking about him..
@westgateblvd Well I didn't mean it like that. I think it's great that he lived so long. I almost hope my cat Ellie will be like Baby. She's probably one of the greatest cats I've ever had. But by the time I finish high school and college, she will be about 12 years old. I'm almost inclined to keep living at my parents until she passes on. Just watching the video I can tell Baby was a great cat. Reminded me of my cat in a way.
When I got my Boy.. There was never a way to find out just where Animal Allies had gone to pick Baby up. As for the parents of those kids goes.. Bobbing for french fries has a good ring to it.
As far as what others say about my Boy. I kind of look at that like water off a ducks back. Baby was with me for 38 years. He became a member of my family.
Now at Christmas insted of giving presents to various people. We give presents to the shelter.. People can fend for themselves.. The animals can't..

@squawkingbeak I really don't like it when people get all self-righteous and pulpit-pounding like you are. no offense, but tone it down a little, would ya?
I believe it's up to God who or what is saved..........it doesn't say anywhere that our beloved pets don't have a chance. Those of us who believe in our hearts that our pets may be there with us aren't going to hell because we believe that!! You're a bad example of Christianity. Keep your uptight beliefs to yourself! If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Ever heard of the Golden Rule??? Yeah, stop and think about that before you open your mouth or type something out. Geez!
Just who the Hell is this lazer59882 guy think he is.. My name is Al. Baby was my cat.. Got a problem with it??? Probably never had a pet before, or just another smart ass..
For the rest of us.. Our little friends are our family.. They become a part of us.. Yes and someday we will see them again.. Then others like him.. Won't!! Al
What an amazing story and cat! My eyes are welled up from watching the video and then reading in the comments that Baby passed. I've had my Simon for a little over five years now and I hope he outlives me! My previous cat, Nikki, I had from 1992 until 2005, and losing him to cancer was the worst thing I've ever been through.
I wrote to you quite a long time ago (shortly after you posted Baby's video.) I'd mentioned my black cat, Canuck. I rescued her when she a couple weeks old & almost starved. Like Baby, she was a wonderful companion. Canuck, age 25, crossed to the other side Dec. 5, 2009. I miss her. It's hard to write this. What can you tell me--how long does it hurt? I held her as she left. She was very vocal and said three distinct murmurs before the light left her.
I don't know if it hurts - we held our sweet kitty Tigger when he left us a couple of years ago too. It's so painful for us too because we are the ones left behind. I really believe that if we believe in JESUS and put our faith in HIM, we will be reunited with our loved ones.
@squawkingbeak Followers of the bible have slaughtered an estimated 8.8 billion people in the past 2,000 years, and there are historically proven religions that predate the first mention of Jesus by 3000-4000 years, all of which, the christians sacked, murdered, destroyed, and took their traditions. Sorry, won't put my faith in the biggest cause of genocide and intolerance mankind has ever known.
@Jeepers1996 one of my cats lived to bout 23 or 24, he was a great cat, was always up to something, mine stopped eating, but we decided to get him put out of his misery.. was a sad thing todo, but I think it was the right thing.
@Marlockie Glad you wrote. I didn't have Canuck put down. She was healthy up to less than a week before she died. The vet said it was bladder infection & prescribed some antibiotic. But it was too late;she went downhill in only a day. I was fortunate to hold her when she left. I've since adopted a stray black kitten I hope will prove to be as wonderful a companion as Canuck had been. By the way, I live in the middle of Montana. Where do you hail from?
@Jeepers1996 I hail from mid east of Illinois, I always enjoyed my cats company, he was extremely smart, could open stuff, cabnets and such, he'd always be at the window waiting for me to come home, and would meow as I came closer, it was a very tough choice for me to make, but I think it would have been better, vet said he wouldn't have lived past another day. he probly gave up eating cause maybe a month before our other cat had died from Liver failure.
@Jeepers1996 here let me help you: grow a fucking pair and move the fuck on. its just a goddamn cat. dont be such a fucking pussy, with this "crossed to the other side" "light" bullshit.
That was the interview of baby when he was 36 Another interview was done when he turned 38. After that he went down hill fast. From about 15lbs to 4lbs. The Vet said everything was starting to fail.
If I could figure out how to post a picture of him about a week before he passed I would.. Al
Our cat lived 18 years. My dad would treat her every Friday to one of those little half-&-half containers from McDonalds. Boy, did she ever lick it up. Then she would jump into my dad's lap for some cuddling. Cats are so neat. Perhaps if my dad gave her a cheese puff to go along with the half-&-half, she might have lived longer!
What do you want.. A picture of Baby's box?? I had him cremated.. I also have other pictures of my Boy. Otherwise I don't know if I can help you much. Baby is also listed under 38 year old cat. He did live to 38 years. Everything failed on him in the end. We both had a good life together.. Al
Hey. My Boy is dead.. Leave him alone. Why did he live so long?? I don't know. All i can say was he was my best friend. There were alot of real nice comments on this site as to Baby, but there is always the rotten apple in the bunch to spoil it. I have another cat now. She is 2. She will never replace Baby.. He was one of a kind.. Al
The cat you see now is dead. Baby died March 22/ 2008. Baby made it to 38 years of age. He weighed less than 4lbs went he went to the Bridge.. I will always remember my Boy.. Al
@westgateblvd I'm sorry to hear that he's gone! What a wonderful kitty. Thank you for giving him such a wonderful life, especially after he had such a rough start! My condolences. R.I.P. Baby :)
Al, I am really sorry to hear that Baby went to the bridge, but what a trooper and an amazing testement that he lived to such a ripe old age. You must have done EVERYTHING right! .
My oldest cats have lived to 23 and 25 years old; Daggot the 23 year old had health issues in her final year, but Moses had none and died peacfully in her sleep.
I have a 10 year old boy right now and hope he lives for a very long time yet.
Sorry.. I can't read that trxt stuff, but baby died March 28th 2008. I guess you won't have to worry about Baby anymore. Baby made it to 38 years. I have a couple of pictures that show the decline of the kitty. He went from near 10lbs to less that 4lbs when he died. All of his organs were shutting down. He is missed very much. I had him since I graduated High School. Why Baby lived that long?? I don't know.. I guess that had to do with him..
Actually 30 is about normal for cats on raw, or natural diets , your cat is just one lucy cat, probably like the 122 year old woman that smoked for 60 years.
The truth is pet food probably kills most cats when they reach the 50 years in human-14 or 15,cat years. If you ate garbage from toddler age I don't think you would live to see 60, even with the best of health care, on average. Most pet food is as low as it can be in quality, cost reasons, to maintain life not to have it thrive.
Baby had a little bit of white on his chest. In his later 30's he started to get lots of white hairs.. He was a good Boy.. I hope all of the other cats out there make it as long, or longer than Baby..
Today is the day my Boy Baby passed to the Bridge. I miss him every day. I had Baby cremated, so He is still here. There are a few on here that don't belive that Baby lived to the age of 38. Most of the people here do. To all of the senior kitties.. Well I hope you make it.. Baby lived a very good life. I wish He was here now..
@westgateblvd You're a braver man than me. I've had two go on me one at 6, and the other at 18(had him since I was 7) and I had buried them both. I couldn't bear to cremate them. Those who say man up and they were just cats, if one had said that to me at those times, let's say I would have gladly went to jail for what I would have done to the the one who said that.
No. I had to put him down. He was near death, and I didn't want him to cry anymore. A pain killer would not have helped. The Vet said he needed to go to sleep. I held my Boy threwout. He died in my arms.. I have him here with me now.
i would have done the same thing. im sure you have some wonderful memories. it's a terrible loss losing a cat that you've had for so long and loved deeply.
You did the right thing, Mr.Palusky. It's almost unbelievable that Baby lived so long and was still happy and active. He must have had a great, loving home. I recommend the book, Dewey the Library Cat. This cat lived 19 wonderful years at the Spencer, Iowa library. He touched the lives of many folks. Good reading. Cats are so underrated.
Thank You.. I will look for that book.. We now have another cat that needed a home. Emma is only a little over a year old.. She came from our local animal rescue. My Wife and Myself go there at least once or twice a month. Mostly to pet, and hold the Kitties that are afraid. Al
Wow 36 my cat Jason is 23 still a youngster then, he is pretty active and goes out every day to patrol his'manor' from other cats he's as tough as old boots.!
Damn! My dog was only 13 when she got old and died.

I wrote to you quite a long time ago (shortly after you posted Baby's video.) I'd mentioned my black cat, Canuck. I rescued her when she a couple weeks old & almost starved. Like Baby, she was a wonderful companion. Canuck, age 25, crossed to the other side Dec. 5, 2009. I miss her. It's hard to write this. What can you tell me--how long does it hurt? I held her as she left. She was very vocal and said three distinct murmurs before the light left her.

I don't know if it hurts - we held our sweet kitty Tigger when he left us a couple of years ago too. It's so painful for us too because we are the ones left behind. I really believe that if we believe in JESUS and put our faith in HIM, we will be reunited with our loved ones.
GOD Bless

@squawkingbeak Followers of the bible have slaughtered an estimated 8.8 billion people in the past 2,000 years, and there are historically proven religions that predate the first mention of Jesus by 3000-4000 years, all of which, the christians sacked, murdered, destroyed, and took their traditions. Sorry, won't put my faith in the biggest cause of genocide and intolerance mankind has ever known.

@Jeepers1996 one of my cats lived to bout 23 or 24, he was a great cat, was always up to something, mine stopped eating, but we decided to get him put out of his misery.. was a sad thing todo, but I think it was the right thing.
Marlockie 1 year ago
@Marlockie Glad you wrote. I didn't have Canuck put down. She was healthy up to less than a week before she died. The vet said it was bladder infection & prescribed some antibiotic. But it was too late;she went downhill in only a day. I was fortunate to hold her when she left. I've since adopted a stray black kitten I hope will prove to be as wonderful a companion as Canuck had been. By the way, I live in the middle of Montana. Where do you hail from?
Jeepers1996 1 year ago
@Jeepers1996 I hail from mid east of Illinois, I always enjoyed my cats company, he was extremely smart, could open stuff, cabnets and such, he'd always be at the window waiting for me to come home, and would meow as I came closer, it was a very tough choice for me to make, but I think it would have been better, vet said he wouldn't have lived past another day. he probly gave up eating cause maybe a month before our other cat had died from Liver failure.

That was the interview of baby when he was 36 Another interview was done when he turned 38. After that he went down hill fast. From about 15lbs to 4lbs. The Vet said everything was starting to fail.
If I could figure out how to post a picture of him about a week before he passed I would.. Al

Our cat lived 18 years. My dad would treat her every Friday to one of those little half-&-half containers from McDonalds. Boy, did she ever lick it up. Then she would jump into my dad's lap for some cuddling. Cats are so neat. Perhaps if my dad gave her a cheese puff to go along with the half-&-half, she might have lived longer!

Hey. My Boy is dead.. Leave him alone. Why did he live so long?? I don't know. All i can say was he was my best friend. There were alot of real nice comments on this site as to Baby, but there is always the rotten apple in the bunch to spoil it. I have another cat now. She is 2. She will never replace Baby.. He was one of a kind.. Al

Al, I am really sorry to hear that Baby went to the bridge, but what a trooper and an amazing testement that he lived to such a ripe old age. You must have done EVERYTHING right! .
My oldest cats have lived to 23 and 25 years old; Daggot the 23 year old had health issues in her final year, but Moses had none and died peacfully in her sleep.
I have a 10 year old boy right now and hope he lives for a very long time yet.

Sorry.. I can't read that trxt stuff, but baby died March 28th 2008. I guess you won't have to worry about Baby anymore. Baby made it to 38 years. I have a couple of pictures that show the decline of the kitty. He went from near 10lbs to less that 4lbs when he died. All of his organs were shutting down. He is missed very much. I had him since I graduated High School. Why Baby lived that long?? I don't know.. I guess that had to do with him..

Actually 30 is about normal for cats on raw, or natural diets , your cat is just one lucy cat, probably like the 122 year old woman that smoked for 60 years.
The truth is pet food probably kills most cats when they reach the 50 years in human-14 or 15,cat years. If you ate garbage from toddler age I don't think you would live to see 60, even with the best of health care, on average. Most pet food is as low as it can be in quality, cost reasons, to maintain life not to have it thrive.

Today is the day my Boy Baby passed to the Bridge. I miss him every day. I had Baby cremated, so He is still here. There are a few on here that don't belive that Baby lived to the age of 38. Most of the people here do. To all of the senior kitties.. Well I hope you make it.. Baby lived a very good life. I wish He was here now..
westgateblvd 2 years ago 2
@westgateblvd You're a braver man than me. I've had two go on me one at 6, and the other at 18(had him since I was 7) and I had buried them both. I couldn't bear to cremate them. Those who say man up and they were just cats, if one had said that to me at those times, let's say I would have gladly went to jail for what I would have done to the the one who said that.

No. I had to put him down. He was near death, and I didn't want him to cry anymore. A pain killer would not have helped. The Vet said he needed to go to sleep. I held my Boy threwout. He died in my arms.. I have him here with me now.
westgateblvd 2 years ago
i would have done the same thing. im sure you have some wonderful memories. it's a terrible loss losing a cat that you've had for so long and loved deeply.
jmurray01 2 years ago
You did the right thing, Mr.Palusky. It's almost unbelievable that Baby lived so long and was still happy and active. He must have had a great, loving home. I recommend the book, Dewey the Library Cat. This cat lived 19 wonderful years at the Spencer, Iowa library. He touched the lives of many folks. Good reading. Cats are so underrated.
cyrix01 2 years ago
Thank You.. I will look for that book.. We now have another cat that needed a home. Emma is only a little over a year old.. She came from our local animal rescue. My Wife and Myself go there at least once or twice a month. Mostly to pet, and hold the Kitties that are afraid. Al
