Not all dead. World record for a cat is like 35 or something crazy.
Our cat who died last year was born at the tail end of the 1990s.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Immortal
he's been dead the whole time
@Plum which would also explain why Garfield Minus Garfield still makes sense.
Garfield is like the bit in 6th Sense where we can see both the kid and Bruce Willis. Jon in Garfield can see dead cats, walking around like regular cats.
Because he's not a '90s cat. He's a '70s cat.
Only 90s cats will get this
My 24 year old cat died a few months ago :(
thankfully he passed quietly in his sleep, up until maybe a year and a half ago he seemed like he was going to live forever, perfect health in body and mind, then all of a sudden he started to struggle moving, went fully deaf (became an indoor cat), and not long after he passed
Sad shower thoughts
Crying in the shower
I would even say that most cats born on or before 2010 are dead
Rude.

Now playing: Them Bones by Alice In Chains. (not linking it because of the iconic AAH! intro, adjust your speakers and if you can hear the flies clearly it's probably too loud)
Feels relevant to me being from that time, too. Probably also because of despair.
Such a good pick for this.
IIIIIII FEEEEEEeeL
Yeah, now I'm thinking about my two cats born in 2000 and 2001 that I lost 8 and 4 years ago.
