#Millie seemed to have something degenerative | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Honestly the only cats that SHOULD live longer than normal are ex-kittypets, like Millie, Firestar is he was a background character, Some Skyclanners, ect. I'm hoping to see a 20+ year old Skyclan elder ex kittypet in cannon, tbh. Especially in England with vax they don't have to worry about rabies, and once they retire they're pretty safe from wounds. Idk I just think it'd be interesting for the clans to wonder why ex-kittypets seemingly live longer after retirement.

I do have some cats that are straight-up ancient already, but it's noted that they are big-bang-level old

Tallstar (19)

Mistystar (18)

Mosspelt (Still alive at 19)

One-eye (20)

Ratscar apparently (17-ish)

Note that two of these super-seniors were leaders.

It would definitely be cool for SkyClan cats to live a ridiculously long time though, that's a neat quirk. Leafstar is also probably getting up there in age (she was 5-ish during Firestar's Quietus), so that shouldn't be too hard for SkyClan's life expectancy to be 17 or 18 while Forest Four expectancy is 16.

This is nothing next to Stonetellers by the way, their lives last well into their 20s thanks to their leader power.

#Also rabies has been eradicated in England #Rabies-LIKE illnesses exist in bats as they are natural carriers but wild rabies which affects cats is gone. For now #It was last recorded in the 20s and there's always a chance that someone accidentally imports a rabid animal #Better Bones au #clan culture #Millie seemed to have something degenerative #It wasn't illness it was something to do with organ failure #And Graystripe... he's probably still alive rn tbh #But he is living in the mountain
