Well, much to tomhundleyrn's chagrin, i learned today that Jasper has outlived all 7 of the kittens he sired back in 1992, as well as the queen who bore and nursed the kittens. The last two kittens of the litter died earlier this year, apparently Ozzy was the last. Ozzy to my memory was among the sweetest of the lot temperament-wise, much unlike his father.

The mother of the kittens was 15 months his senior. He sired the litter when he was 9mos old.

Hoo! Early starter, he. My oldest cat Erica is 16. She was runt of a trailer park semi-feral litter that [Bad username or site: syntonic_comma/ @ livejournal.com]'s former girlfriend brought home. I'm amazed she's lasted this long. The age of my cat Mel is uncertain. Somewhere between 13 and 16. The baby cat Camille is 3 or 4. With strays, one never knows for sure.

I'm just glad the youngling has stopped peeing on the dining room table, and is getting along with Mel. The idea was to give him a sweet young thing in his dotage, and have him raise her to be as cool as he is. All is working well.
