Cats can live for 20+ years. Maybe there are a few left that were born in the 90s and are just chilling.
Not all dead. World record for a cat is like 35 or something crazy.
Our cat who died last year was born at the tail end of the 1990s.
All of the 90s cats are dead.

How do you do this? I’ve seen it for years, but never thought to ask before. Lol.

Because he’s not a '90s cat. He’s a '70s cat.

My 24 year old cat died a few months ago :(
thankfully he passed quietly in his sleep, up until maybe a year and a half ago he seemed like he was going to live forever, perfect health in body and mind, then all of a sudden he started to struggle moving, went fully deaf (became an indoor cat), and not long after he passed

I would even say that most cats born on or before 2010 are dead

Now playing: Them Bones by Alice In Chains. (not linking it because of the iconic AAH! intro, adjust your speakers and if you can hear the flies clearly it's probably too loud)

Yeah, now I’m thinking about my two cats born in 2000 and 2001 that I lost 8 and 4 years ago.

I’m so sorry.
One of my childhood dogs started having seizures until one night she started seizing and just never stopped. We laid her in the laundry basket with towels and I gently held her down so she didn’t thrash too hard to further hurt herself.
My dad called the vet to see if they could have her put down ASAP. They said they couldn’t, but it was well after hours though. I probably sat there for 3-4 hours or so myself until finally my dad just told me to go to bed and he’d take her in the morning. I even offered to put her down myself because, I mean fuck. I couldn’t just sit there and watch her struggle let alone imagine how she felt. We tried to do whatever we could to help ease her pain/passing including crushing up a muscle relaxer with water and syringing it into her mouth. I would have tried anything.
I don’t know when I feel asleep but it was hard not to hear an occasional sound even through probably 2-3 closed doors and down a flight of stairs.

My neighbour shot his dog as at the time money was tight and the dog was in a lot of pain
MudSkipperKisser@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’m so sorry, that sounds awful to see :/ Try to remember him as the whole of his life, the last bit was only a blip of what I’m guessing was an otherwise long and happy life
ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Sorry to hear that. My dog did the same thing. It was just staring off in the distance letting out moans and lots of heavy breathing for a few hours. It was absolutely soul crushing. I just sat there with my buddy in my lap.

That’s why I put down my cats before they start to suffer to much. I don’t make the choice lightly but when I see them start to show signs of major problems it is time.

Tbh you cannot really do that if it only lasts an hour.

That was kinda the problem here… He was totally fine and healthy and happy right up until the day he actually died. Otherwise we definitely would have done that. Not even really sure what he died from other than just being like 26 years old.
