“Every time I have guests over, they are astonished beyond belief. They find it hard to realize she will soon turn 23. It’s really uncommon. The actor and life coach Alexander-Putinas says that only a small percentage of cats live to be 23 years old.
The average lifespan of a house cat is 10 to 15 years, according to PetMD, however Blue Cross claims they can live up to 20 years. The oldest cat ever recorded by Guinness World Records, Creme Puff, a tabby mix, lived for 38 years, 3 days.
Alexander-Putinas explains, “I believe the love and relationship we share just keeps her going. She’ll always be able to find me. My father didn’t particularly enjoy the cats going upstairs while I lived with my parents because of the fur.
In his own words, Alexander-Putinas expresses his sincere gratitude for Lily’s support throughout his life. She and I have been through a lot together. This cat has experienced so much in the past 23 years, including my high school, secondary school, girlfriends, and my first breakup. She isn’t a human, but I still tell her about my day and she seems to notice when I’m down. She appears to be seeing me more frequently.
Lily is still a very curious cat despite her advanced age and is in good physical condition.
