Morgan is know in his lifetime coming up to be the second long living dog we have ever had. At eight years old, and he is watched like a hawk. Cat wise I haven't been so lucky, not as bad as some. But the longest living cat we had was 18 years old. And she died 24 years ago. I have had three others die from various health problems from a brain tumor at four to IBS at nine, and fatty liver disease at 13. Higgins might end up out living us all. Even though he is falling a part. Lilith I almost lost last year, but is doing better. She had liver problems from an infection I think. I think if it was cancer she still be losing weight, but she hasn't.
