They usually only live to be about 15 years or so, so yours is probably on its last legs. It's difficult to estimate miles. You probably need a new one. Perhaps a nice, affectionate, domestic shorthair. I suggest you contact listmember Stan Wilder--he usually has a few extra ones lying around the place or tucked away somewhere in his parts stash. Of course, yours may simply be choking on a hairball, and you may garner several more years of service with a good cleaning. Next time, for substantially greater longevity, maybe try an Amazon parrot or a cute little American box turtle instead--they often last as long as 80 and 120 years, respectively. Hope this helps!
