Blast,
Hopefully not TOO soon - I have 2 cats that make Oz a "young'n" - Coquette is 18, Tux is 16 (well, in a couple of months). yeah, they both spend most of their time eating/sleeping/getting petted by their family while sleeping, but they are holding it together despite long term chronic renial failure, and in Tux's case, being diagnosed almost 6 years ago with Vaccine Associated Sarcoma (a form of cancer that usually kills a cat in less than a year - usually a short number of months)

Anyway, give Oz an ear scratch for me, and make sure he has a nice comfortable spot to lay in a sunbeam...
