We got my cats by someone abandoning them in our neighbors yard. He brought them to us because he was allergic and couldn’t take care of them, so we ended up with two little calico kittens. They’re both fifth-teen now and living their best lives. Very healthy senior cats, wouldn’t trade them for the world.

That's nice. Sometimes life turns out good :)
Long ago, we got adopted by a pretty mama Siamese cat and her kittens. All three kittens looked and behaved totally differently. One was a dumb but sweet B&W, one was a weird, quirky runt, and the last was a sweet roly-poly little butterball. They all had various energy levels, but the chubby little one slept FAR more than the rest.
17 years later, and one by one, we had a bad day of losing each one. Today, the only one left is that fat, lazy tortie. She is still sleeping about 22 hours a day, and is healthy as a horse. We took her to the vet for a check up, telling them on the phone that she was 17, and when we showed up, they couldn't believe this was that 17 yo cat. They thought she was less than 10.
She's going to outlive me.
The key for a long life is plenty of rest.
My little Chloe is proof of that
