He and his cat have been best buds for 21 years

21 years! This is adorable. 

Meet Mowgli the cat!

"He was a couple months old when we got him. I was still in kindergarten back then (turning 25 now) and we don't actually know his birthday since he was a farm kitten," reddit user searingsky told love meow.

At the age of 21, Mowgli is still a loving and playful cat. He and his human have always shared a special bond.

"We have this ritual where whenever I lie down on a couch he will instantly plop down on my belly and cuddle or take a nap."

"He gets smothered with love. Also, we have a great vet, though he never needed any serious medical attention."

When it comes to the secret to a long, healthy life, Mowgli's human attributes it to love.

They love each other so much!

Here's too many more years together!

Remember to adopt and rescue!
