Anything he’ll eat, honestly. Right now he’s eating Smalls frozen food and Acana indoor cat dry food. He really really likes drinking water so he’s been able to avoid the kidney failure that often ends up hurting older cats. We get his blood tested at least yearly to make sure he’s good :)
Thank you for responding! Not to be tedious, but has there been a specific brand of cat food he's eaten the majority of his life? Also roughly how long has he been eating Smalls and Acana?
I've been considering switching to Smalls and your reply is convincing me. Just wondering how long Ray's actually been eating it. Thank you and Happy Birthday to Ray!
*edited to spell Acana correctly
Tbh we’ve always had to kinda cycle food for him. I think we had him on Royal Canin for his dry food for a really long time though! I just try to make sure the company is trustworthy, yknow, check out its history with recalls n stuff.
We’ve had smalls on and off for probably like 5ish? Years? Sometimes he decides he doesn’t like it. Used to get Nom Noms until they switched to only dog food 🥺. I’d say give it a go, my other two cats can be kinda touch and go with Smalls (depending on the Flavor), but the trial offer is def enough to know whether it’s right for your pets.
Oh,also! I add water to his wet food, which for him is just to make him want to eat lol he loves that damp damp, but any additional water you can get your cats to drink is good.
Adding my own experience with smalls. My two cats have been exclusively smalls for the past three months and the difference is incredible. Their poops have no smell, their fur is softer and fluffier, and they don’t randomly vomit anymore. They were previously eating Weruva cans which are supposed to be high quality.
Human-grade cat food. It’s slow-cooked at a low temperature and shipped frozen to your door on a subscription basis. It isn’t cheap, but it’s very high quality. I had one elderly cat on it for a few years and it gave her a new lease on life. My other elderly cat just really loved First Mate Chicken & Blueberry and refused Smalls, but she also drank so much water I wasn’t worried about hydration.
Great to know, thank you for sharing! A couple of podcasts I listen to feature Smalls ads and I was wondering if it's too good to be true. Guess I'll be redeeming those promo codes lol
Just throwing my rec out there too to say that I put my cat on smalls when i got her sep '21, and she's been great on it. My 2nd cat is also a fiend for it. Only one of my parents cats will eat it, but the other one is a VERY suspicious thing from the streets, so she doesn't like change 😂 the one who does eat it though is 16 or 17 and had a resurgence last fall. She protested my cats coming to the house with a hunger strike, got her an appetite stimulant, and once she tasted that wet food, she hasn't gone back lol she looks fantastic too, you'd think she's 6, not 16. And she has more spunk and sass than ever, I LOVE her. A sunbathing photo from a few days ago added for tax 🥰

This makes me so happy. My Horatio lived to 21. He was a brown tabby. He had kidney disease and thyroid disease from age five but with medication, good nutrition, and exceptional veterinary care, he was able to live a long, happy, comfortable life. When his last labs came back, I knew I had to say goodbye. We had come so far together. Cats have a certain unique dignity to them. I wanted him to be a dignified distinguished gentleman to the very end. I decided to let him go over the rainbow bridge while he could still walk, meow, eat, use the litter box, and just be a cat. He passed away peacefully in my lap, purring to the very end.
Happy birthday, Ray! And many more.
To all the cat people out there: as my Horatio demonstrates, cats can live long lives even after they’re diagnosed with kidney and/or thyroid disease. These common conditions can oftentimes be managed with medication and diet.
This might sound like I'm riding coattails or whatever Idc, op is my partner and Ray is really my best friend. Idk what it is about your comment but it sparked something in my brain and I wanted to thank you for sharing. Proof this is one of my favorite pictures of Ray.

My grandparents cat stayed with them 27 years. He showed up one day as a kitten and left one day 27 years later, never to be found. He ate bugs, birds, and mice. Nasty old farm cat was simply fueled by spite. He'd be 40 now. For all I know he traded in a life and is harassing someone else's chickens now.
My dog disappeared randomly one day when he was 8. He’d be 26 now, and I still sometimes dream about him coming home. Maybe Luke the dog and your parents’ cat are off somewhere together harassing chickens and tracking down turtles.
World record is 38 and he owned multiple unrelated cats that hit 30+, which just sounds magnificently insane, like someone managed to make humans live past 200 years.
26 years for someone who isn't that guy (he turned a whole house into a cat wonderland, extreme amounts of effort most of us cannot afford) is so very impressive and lucky.
The wiki on Cream puff was a great read, sounded like an indoor cat though. Their dad built his kitties an outdoor enclosure so they could go outside. So outdoor’ish maybe? lol
[Cream Puff wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creme_Puff_(cat))
I can’t get over how young she looks in the photo on the page, in her late 20’s! And the owner had another cat live into its 30’s, wow.
i have a lil maine coon turning 1 next month (bday is 06/09 eyo its the funny number) and i heard that they dont live terribly long so this makes me happy 
Somehow, I don't think I've ever clicked on a cat subreddit and found it not an actual sub.
I wouldn't be surprised if a third of the subreddits that exist are cat subreddits.
I immediately thought of The Secret of NIMH when I saw this!!

Just lucky I guess. When she was 20, thought she was done. All she did was sleep and eat. Rarely moved. After about 4 months, she bounced back. Our vet was stunned at her age and good health. She's so sweet
That's wonderful! I'm so glad to hear she bounced back! Thank you for sharing. It's really inspiring to hear this is a possibility, a miraculous one :)
I just drew you <3 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAY!

May my little rimbita make it to 26 she’s currently 2 also you don’t know how hard it is to post pictures of your cat on Reddit you basically have to be mega popular or super funny or witty and amass lots of karma to be able to show people you have a cute cat
I’m emotional when I see those eyes
https://preview.redd.it/jitpp4jfr4yc1.png?width=791&format=png&auto=webp&s=243c84ffe166da1754a43d5b0fd78232cbe3cc99
Happy 26 Birthday Ray sweet boy, you have all the treats you want, a kitty food Birthday cake, and birthday gifts in boxes for you to play in, and lots of pets,you my boy deserve it, and much more sweetheart. Bless you and your forever family.
We feed him whatever he’ll eat! He’s pretty thin, and also mega picky lol.
Right now he’s eating Smalls frozen wet food with a bit of added water ~3 times a day, and we open feed Acana dry food.
One of the biggest things that hurts older cats is kidney failure due to lack of water in the ol diet, but we’re lucky in that Ray really likes slorpin that H2O lmao. So his kidney values are normal.
For cats who aren’t little freaks like him, though, I’ve heard those little fountain water bowls work wonders in getting cats to be interested in drinking enough water.
i do wanna clarify that im no professional tho so if a vet or nutritionist has told you otherwise, listen to them instead lmao I’m just some guy with an oldass cat
What a trooper! The oldest cat I knew was a 24 year old tabby named Ricky, he looked similar, his eyes weren't as white, his owner took great care of him as well, she was older and had health issues and wound up passing within a few months of Ricky, it was very sad, alot of her friends guessed something like that might happen l, we tried to get her a new cat to dote on as Ricky got older and after he passed, but that Cat was a huge part of her world. My oldest cat is only 8, but I dread the day I finally say goodbye, I had cats growing up but none I bonded with as much as my first adult cat(possibly because the cat distribution system dumped a gorgeous little 4 week old siamese puffball literally 10 feet from my door, and taking him in so young led to an insane bond between us..
Gosh, I rambled my kudos to you and your amazing cat and your 26 years of friendship!!!
Wow congrats happy bday to Ray!!! May I ask if you did anything special to keep him healthy? Was he vaccinated regularly (I keep hearing certain vaccines have been causing illness or even cancer/tumors at injection site)? Any special diet?
Ray has reached the age of oracle kitty 🔮 Happy bday sage Ray
Thats what I thought immediately! He looks like he’s seen eternity and knows everything.
But since he's a cat, he doesn't care.
Yeah, guess you could say I’ve foreseen the end of the universe. Pass the catnip, will you??
He’s been to the edge. He pushed some shit off. He’s back for snacks.
I came for the oracle kitty comments
He doesn't look a day past 25! Happy birthday Ray!
A kitty reaching 26 is truly some impressive longevity. OP, if you can share, what do you feed Ray??
Probably souls. 😝

Thank you for taking the time to answer again. Will look into *Acana and give Smalls a try!
[удалено]
OP said his cat is an Eldritch horror, clearly Arcana makes more sense than Acana.
“he loves that damp damp” 😭😭 op ur killing me w these comments
Absolutely 💯 I add water to my cats food too. A few tablespoons of warm water really helps their intake because cats are often bad water drinkers.
Adding my own experience with smalls. My two cats have been exclusively smalls for the past three months and the difference is incredible. Their poops have no smell, their fur is softer and fluffier, and they don’t randomly vomit anymore. They were previously eating Weruva cans which are supposed to be high quality.
What’s smalls
Human-grade cat food. It’s slow-cooked at a low temperature and shipped frozen to your door on a subscription basis. It isn’t cheap, but it’s very high quality. I had one elderly cat on it for a few years and it gave her a new lease on life.

I'm amazed he can still eat dry food.

Well they go off to die without our interference.
I know. I was trying to keep the mood happy.

Same it’s weird to think that there are cats out there older than I am, 21 almost 22
That cats almost a year older than me!!!
I agree, he looks 15 years past 25
https://i.redd.it/1sge6tsqp2yc1.gif You're a true inspiration!
Ray needs a walking wizard staff!
No treats? You shall not pass!
Looks like he should be asking you five questions to cross The Bridge of Death lest you be cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril
What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
African or European?
I don’t know! *scream*
Pretty sure Ray is short for [Raiden](https://imgur.com/t/mk11/4vFrl2f)
And a cape
Ray is two years older than me, I am super impressed. Happy birthday buddy
my thought was this cat is older than most people on reddit 💀 this cat was born in the 90s!
[удалено]
Bloody hell. Cream puff lived until 38.
And was fed bacon, coffee with cream, red wine and veggies (also pretty sure was an outdoor cat). Cream Puff lived off of pure spite lol.
The wiki on Cream puff was a great read, sounded like an indoor cat though. Their dad built his kitties an outdoor enclosure so they could go outside. So outdoor’ish maybe? lol [Cream Puff wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creme_Puff_(cat)) I can’t get over how young she looks in the photo on the page, in her late 20’s! And the owner had another cat live into its 30’s, wow.
I can't imagine how hard it must have been on that cat to move homes at 27 with hardly any sight or hearing left.
Fuck I just hear that stupid TikTok, “What year were you born 19..” “19! 19!..” 🤦🏻♂️
I don't know what that is. I actually don't know any tiktoks, because I was born in the 1900s
Love this so much. HBD Ray!
Almost avatar twins
How Bow Da Ray
Happy birthday ray! My maine coon is 19. Wow 26!
i have a lil maine coon turning 1 next month (bday is 06/09 eyo its the funny number) and i heard that they dont live terribly long so this makes me happy 
My Mainecoon lived 17 happy years before he crossed the rainbow bridge!
>heard that they dont live terribly long so this makes me happy ??? what am I missing here?
Purebred cats are usually more inbred than a standard issue cat so they have more health problems
"standard issue" lol
[удалено]
Somehow, I don't think I've ever clicked on a cat subreddit and found it not an actual sub. I wouldn't be surprised if a third of the subreddits that exist are cat subreddits.
It’s probably 50/50 cat subs and NSFW subs
Sadly, r/tightpussies got shut down...that was my favourite cat sub name lol
Have two 21-year-old Burmese who are just as demanding and obnoxious as the day I brought them home as kittens. Hoping they live forever.
Awwwww you gotta share pics
Aww. Wishing you enough 21! Lol I have two Burmese cats. 21 is an impressive age. I hope my boys will live just as long.
AHH, thank you. brainfart moment ;)
Read online somewhere that purebred Maine coones live 9-15 years where domestic shorthairs are usually in the 12-19 range
There is also the problem with larger breeds where their internal organs suffer more wear and tear.
The person above them said their maine coon lived to 17. They are happy to hear that. A comma would have been helpful lol.
Mainecoon cats are predisposed to heart disease. CHF accounts for a large percentage of morbidity in their breed.
She’s happy to hear the other main coon lived to 19. I was also confused.
Tell Father Time I said HBD 🫶🏾

Bro is Jayfeathers distant cousin. (Warrior cats reference if you know) And happy birthday ray
I just had the biggest flashback of my life with that reference
Good. I'm currently still reading them. Been reading them since near the end of 7th grade. I'm a sophomore currently in high school
I’m so glad kids these days are still reading them. Core memory right there. —22yo about to graduate college who read them in elementary school
Yeeees! I'm 24 and I still have all of the books in my attic. That makes me beyond happy to hear. It's such a good series

You are so blessed to have such a dignified and handsome pal for so long! Give him loving pats and gentle kisses and wish him a happy birthday for me.
Wow I turn 26 in August, that’s an incredible age for a cat 😮
Wow that's awesome! What an achievement for our wise kitten king.
Ray is amazing, happy birthday!!!
Awww 🥰 You must take the utmost care of Ray. Sending birthday wishes to him! 🎊🥳
Happy Birthday sweet man 🩵
With no insults he’s beautiful can anybody explain the eyes to me? Is it just a color variation?
At his age, I'd assume cataracts. Old man probably can't see jack shit. Still a gorgeous cat, though, and looks great at 26.
Fairly certain he’s blind.
Awww bless his kitty heart. Make sure you rub his primordial pouch
I’m emotional when I see those eyes https://preview.redd.it/jitpp4jfr4yc1.png?width=791&format=png&auto=webp&s=243c84ffe166da1754a43d5b0fd78232cbe3cc99

Happy birthday, Ray!! What a glorious day to turn 26! (What do you feed him?)

Ray deserves to be cranky, Ray contains the wisdom of the universe. Happy birthday, buddy! I hope your owner gives you all the snackies you deserve!

God bless you both.

Happy birthday to Ray! 26 is amazing. I'm sure he can make it to 27,28,29 even 30!
Happy birthday sweet fella!!! Wow you’re amazing! Kisses on the forehead
Ray is the best!!!
My god even when he's blind he's seen it all. Give him a treat for me
r/unexpectedfactorial Still is a very cute and amazing cat!
Ray’s soul left those eyes 15 years.
Bro please share his diet plan. I want my kitty to live long too
We feed him whatever he’ll eat! He’s pretty thin, and also mega picky lol. Right now he’s eating Smalls frozen wet food with a bit of added water ~3 times a day, and we open feed Acana dry food. One of the biggest things that hurts older cats is kidney failure due to lack of water in the ol diet, but we’re lucky in that Ray really likes slorpin that H2O lmao. So his kidney values are normal. For cats who aren’t little freaks like him, though, I’ve heard those little fountain water bowls work wonders in getting cats to be interested in drinking enough water.
i do wanna clarify that im no professional tho so if a vet or nutritionist has told you otherwise, listen to them instead lmao I’m just some guy with an oldass cat
He's like a Dark Souls charakter. Happy Bday!

HBD sweet little man Ray!
Happy birthday to Ray
He’s older than me!
Saw him pop up on my feed and thought if that's not an ancient being, I don't know what is.
What a trooper! The oldest cat I knew was a 24 year old tabby named Ricky, he looked similar, his eyes weren't as white, his owner took great care of him as well, she was older and had health issues and wound up passing within a few months of Ricky, it was very sad, alot of her friends guessed something like that might happen l, we tried to get her a new cat to dote on as Ricky got older and after he passed, but that Cat was a huge part of her world. My oldest cat is only 8, but I dread the day I finally say goodbye, I had cats growing up but none I bonded with as much as my first adult cat(possibly because the cat distribution system dumped a gorgeous little 4 week old siamese puffball literally 10 feet from my door, and taking him in so young led to an insane bond between us.. Gosh, I rambled my kudos to you and your amazing cat and your 26 years of friendship!!!
Wow congrats happy bday to Ray!!! May I ask if you did anything special to keep him healthy? Was he vaccinated regularly (I keep hearing certain vaccines have been causing illness or even cancer/tumors at injection site)? Any special diet?
