    I'm just wondering what the ages range on cats here. As for me, Sibyl is about 3 years and Alice is around 7 months!

    Our oldest one is around 14 years old at this point.

    My sister's cat is a couple years old, I think, so still very young in comparison.

    Do the two of them interact well together, with such an age difference? Our dogs with that big of a difference tend to ignore each other because they're so different!

    Nope, they don't!

    That's mostly because the older cat hates everybody, though. The younger cat and the 14 year old dog get along great, so I can't blame the age...or even the species.

    I just checked my deviantART... I got Neko July 30th, 2008... So she's almost 5 years old. o.o
    She's still very kitten-looking though.

    We don't honestly know! When we got given the cats we were told they were 3 months old, and fixed...they were not. We did some research on the internet and we think they were maybe between 1 or 2 months given how small they were compared to now. That would make them coming up to just about 2 years old! They still behave like they are insane little kittens though!

    Whoa, really?

    I guess you HAVE had her for a while. I've been saying she's "a couple years old" for at least a couple years now, so it's kinda like how mom will always be 22 maybe. :p She just isn't going to get any older.

    My cat is a year and a half. I've had him since he was 4 weeks and he's quite independent and looks after himself well.

    My cat was a stray when I got her, so I don't know how old she was at the time. I've had her about 7 years and she never got really big. She's halfway between the size of a kitten and the size of an adult cat, even though she's an adult.
    She's always looked like a half-grown kitten, so either she's a small breed or was stunted when she was a kitten.

    I think it is hard to tell sometimes ACSAPA as the breed really does make a difference in the size. We ended up Googling cat breeds with ours and trying to match them to a specific breed. Lucky for us, our cats have a fairly distinctive look so it was fairly easy to say they look like this breed. Then once we read about Ragamuffin cat's personality we knew 100% we were right. We initially thought our cats were 6 months when we got them, because of the size, but looking back now, and after examining their teeth etc to try and age them, we think they were only 1 or 2 months old.

    I have 3 cats. Domino is the oldest at 7 years or roughly 49 human years. He acts more like a mom, always bathing the other two! Next is Dipstick at 4 years old, and he is definitely my defiant middle child. Last but not least is my baby girl Deeva at 2 years old. She acts more like a dog at times. She hasn't mastered meowing, she does more of a bark/ growl noise when she wants attention. Not the brightest kitten, but the cutest.

    That sounds like an adorable way for a cat to act! I would've been worried at first about something being wrong with her.. but, hey, some cats just sound different and cute!
