TikTok user @leahkahan’s family has a loving elderly cat named Mattie, who has just reached the age of 20. You know, now turning 20 is a significant milestone for any living being, especially for a cat. According to PetMD, the average lifespan for domestic cats ranges from 13 to 17 years. So, hitting the grand age of 20 makes Mattie nothing short of extraordinary.
The family believed that this was such an amazing event that, when it came to the idea of having a birthday party for their cat, they didn’t give it a second thought. They want to do something special to celebrate this wonderful day.
Thereby, they decided to celebrate their cat’s 20th birthday, following their own path, and what they did was sure to warm everyone’s heart!
To make Mattie's big day extra special, the family prepared a unique "cat-cuterie" board—a feline-friendly feast with all of Mattie's favorite treats. From a dash of fish to catnip delights and even a generous dollop of whipped cream, it was a spread fit for cat royalty.
This video was recorded by Leahkahan’s parents, who held the party for Mattie. And being melted by what her parents did to this little cat, she decided to share it online, and as expected, the video quickly went viral with more than 800k reactions and 8k comments.
“This is the only type of content I want to see,” someone shared.
“Aww she looks great for her age. Happy birthday,Mattie!!” other commented.
While our pets may not be able to stay with us forever, the love and care they receive contribute significantly to their well-being. Mattie's family's commitment to her happiness and health is evident in her reaching this remarkable age. Here's to Mattie, the cat that proves age is just a number, and every year is worth celebrating!
