The morning paper wrote on Sable the cat in the state of Washington. He daily, even on weekends, serves as the crossing guard mascot of Enterprise Middle School.
One day a few years ago, he jumped over a fence and appeared in the yard of the Morrisons. They fed him, and he stayed. Actually, it was only a year ago that this family moved to West Richland, across the street from this school. To quote:
Each morning and afternoon--in rain, snow or sunshine--the 15-year old cat goes out to watch the school's students wearing a neon orange safety vest...
He earned from the school an "Honorary Safety Patrol Member" certificate.
So is Sable the equivalent of a 105 year old human? You, know, that 7-year multiplier also applied to dogs? Here is one estimate:
Cat Age Human Age
6 months 15 years
1 year 24 years
2 years 28 years
3 years 32 years
4 years 36 years
5 years 40 years
6 years 44 years
7 years 48 years
8 years 52 years
9 years 56 years
10 years 60 years
11 years 64 years
12 years 68 years
13 years 72 years
14 years 76 years
15 years 80 years
16 years 84 years
17 years 88 years
18 years 92 years
19 years 96 years
20 years 100 years
1 year 24 years
2 years 28 years
3 years 32 years
4 years 36 years
5 years 40 years
6 years 44 years
7 years 48 years
8 years 52 years
9 years 56 years
10 years 60 years
11 years 64 years
12 years 68 years
13 years 72 years
14 years 76 years
15 years 80 years
16 years 84 years
17 years 88 years
18 years 92 years
19 years 96 years
20 years 100 years
Hmm, 15 year old human at 6 months. Interesting. But, according to this table, Sable is "only" 80 years old.
Here is "How to wrap Flippy for Christmas." This got more than 7 million views, but, alas, Flippy is no longer with us. And how not to.
