&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Hi there&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Thank you for taking the time to
complete the survey - it is completely subjective and includes a range of
questions around cat heath and ownership that should help us understand whether
cats are living longer or not. Sounds like you cats definitely lived longer -
good ages!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Many thanks &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Are cats living longer?</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/132243?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:25:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:b2638e11-0069-43fd-8a0d-f9b1536936bf</guid><dc:creator>Katie Mansfield</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I was a little&amp;nbsp;surprised&amp;nbsp;that with a title being &amp;quot;are cats living longer?&amp;quot; it didn&amp;#39;t&amp;nbsp;actually&amp;nbsp;ask me my cats&amp;#39; ages - which, for the record are 10 (x2), 16, 18 (x2)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We just lost two recently who were 17 (hyperthryoidism) and 18 (bowel cancer). So, yes, cats are living longer!!&lt;/p&gt;
