as Dojango says, 20-25 is pretty much max but fwiw, they are considered physiologically geriatric at 15+ years.
Shhhh, Rio's in the study with me! Don't say that or he says he'll come and kill all your rats as punishment. Geriatric indeed he just said

I don't have no rats, I has a cat :p

its true-a bit like saying horses are all aged at 12+ and we are past our prime at 35 (well, men lots younger of course...). It just means their immunity etc isn't what i was in their prime.

That said, my immunity to b*llshit and flannel has improved steadily as I've got older

shes looking a lot better again

I wormed her with a different type of wormer and she seems to have picked up again. shes lived outside or 10 yrs by choice and iv offered her the house to sleep in but she will only come in for food and then wants back outside again. she spends a lot of time looking in through the house windows though.

if she goes down hill again then it will be time to visit the vet.
thanks

well shes battling on, she has chosen to move into the house now and wants feeding 4 times a day.
still skinny and still active and still putting everyone in their place
