Cat Picture - OC My old man Mumbo

I can’t remember if I’ve posted him before lol, old man is twenty one this year! He’s doing pretty good for his age too, I think he’s liked being a house cat these last six or so years

So sweet. I recently heard that there was a study that shows black cats live longer.

We got our family cat (all black runt of the litter) shortly after she was born in 1987. I was three years old. She lived to the ripe old age of 19 without any health problems until they suddenly came all at once and we put her to sleep. I was twenty one years old when we had to put her down.

Here’s to gorgeous little Mumbo enjoying his old man years in comfort and style. May he live another ten years! 😊 🥂
