Katarina filmed her cat, Sabre, as he was exploring the consultation room during a visit to the vet.
While showing Sabre wandering around the room, Katarina revealed the old boy's age...
A cat in great shape
Sabre is 27 years old! Katarina adopted him back in 2000. At the time, she was just four years old, and he was two. Sabre has been by Katarina's side ever since.
Internet users were absolutely stunned, and so were we. In the video, Katarina explains that even the vet thought he was 10 years younger. It's worth noting that the average life expectancy for a cat is between 13 and 17 years.
Viewers in disbelief
Many factors influence a cat's longevity, such as their environment, lifestyle, diet, preventative care, breed, and genetics. Interestingly, the record for the oldest cat ever is held by a feline who lived to be 38 years old!
Seeing him with so much energy, users expressed their astonishment in the comments: "I never thought a cat could be older than me." Another wrote: "Incredible! He's still strolling around as if he has an important meeting to get to." It's true that Sabre's gait is impressive, and we're sending lots of love to this adorable senior cat!
