My kitty will hit 10 soon, and I think my dog is dead

So yea, I just had two awakenings today
First, my kitty will hit 10 years old very soon (may 1st)
Lifespan of inside cat (like mine) is between 15-25 years
So, she already hit half of her lifespan :(
I woke up it sweat thinking about that, that my kitty could leave me at any time
And when I realised that, I had another awakening
You see, when I was 10, my family adopted a dog
An Husky-Labrador
She looked exactly like an husky, except she wasn't black and white, but blond and white
When my parent divorced, I was 14, and the guy ("i dont like calling him a father") abandoned her
Now I'm 24, and I know that Huskies lifespan is around 14 years
So, she might be dead as we speak
Realising that made me cry when I woke up

well, my mom is 53, so maybve she hit half of her lifespan, but I can still have her for a long while
As for the grandparent, I didn't know any, they were all dead before my brith except my maternal grandfather, who died when I was 2
As for the guy, I just don't care
 
Your cat probably has a long time to go, cheer up :-) The cat I had as a teenager is still going at my parents' place, she must be about 16 now. She needs tablets night and day and a special diet but she seems pretty healthy, if a little slow.

You know something? I've learnt to disregard lifespans. I have had many instances of pets living way past their expected lifespan. What's important is what you do in the time that they are alive. You don't want to spend that time thinking about when they're going to die, then you would suffer twice. *hugs*

On another note, happy birthday to your cat for May 1!
 
haha
@Brigand thanks, and btw, I know what you mean

When I was very young, years before i had a dog, we had a hamster
Lifespan of a hamster is, what? 2-3 years?
Well he lived 4.5years

Life... I still miss the first dog I had as a kid, a very faithful German Shepherd that died 17 years old... some 18 years ago.
 
According to my sistra, I'm wrong
May 1st is actually the birthday of my former doggy
Zelda is apparently born in february
 
I have a dog who's starting to get up there in the years. It makes me really worried whenever there's just small things that seem to be wrong, like him not moving as well as he used to or not eating as quickly. I know I'm probably being paranoid but I just really love my dog so even small things make me worried.
