you were lucky to have a cat to live to 20. my friend's lived to 22 and another friend's lived to 26. One of mine lived to `17 1/2. Snowy died at 10.. Yuki died at 12 . socrates died at fourteen. tui died at fifteen. abby died at fifteen.
The cats are too old and too set in their ways. usually they start getting sick at age and vet bills are so expensive here. i don't know about there. you and jeff are working and i retired and you complain about money.
