I had a cat the same as Bruce, he made it 23 years, happy and healthy as can be right up til the end, lost him to a stroke. Best cat ever.
Oddly enough Bruce was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure, so he takes a statin now. We thought he was just getting old and slowing down a bit, vet caught it, we've been doing meds, and he has returned to his old self again, with a touch of senility, a lot of meowing and nothing. But yeah, hopeful it'll help avoid a stroke.
