How old have your pets lived to be?

Another question made me think of this, it's interesting. I had a cat live to 20 and a dog live to 16.

Update:

The oldest dog I've ever seen was at a kennel I was working at...She was about 22.

    Many of my pets were strays, so known ages don't exist. The chow mix I just lost, Rusty, had to be at least 17 because he was an adult when I adopted him, and that was in 92. My quarter horse Moose was 36.

    My two gerbils were about 3 years old. A cat I lived with was 22. One of my dogs lived to 16, the other to around 17.

    I had a Maine Coon that lived 18 years. I had a American Quarter Horse that was about 29 when she died, it was hard to pin down her age, she had been sold several times before I got her but when I bought her (for 50 bucks!) the trader said she was at least 20. I had her for another 9 years. I had a Bernese Mountain Dog who was 10 when he was put down after being diagnosed with cancer.

    I had to put my precious doggy to sleep last month. He was 13, which is an average life (I wished he lived longer of corse).

    I have a few older pets currently which include two senior cats who are going on 15 years old and an 8 year old rabbit.

    My dad's beagle lived to the age of 13 (he died after a cancer surgery).

    My friend has a pony that's at the ripe old age of 25 and still going strong.

    Another friend has a horse that's 33 and out-riding horses in their younger years.

    None of my animals have had the chance to die yet. They're all still pretty young.
