Lisa Wadsworth lives in Florida with her two children:
Lauren, 13 and Quin, 11. Last month they were adopted by a stray orange tabby. The
Wadsworths assumed he was young cat because he was so small. He was emaciated
and walked with difficulty. They fed him, bathed him and named him Ginger. Lisa
suggested taking the tabby to the Humane Society, but Quin insisted Ginger
needed to be seen by the family vet. He even offered to pay for the visit. The
vet checked for a microchip and discovered Ginger’s real name is T2, and he’s sixteen
years old. Perry Martin was thrilled to be reunited with the kitty he’d lost in
the aftermath of Hurricane Jeanne in 2004. It’s not unusual for an indoor pet
to live so long, but a cat in the wild has an average lifespan of five years. So
how did T2 manage fourteen years on his own? He’s not saying.
