We hadn't had him long, having rescued him when his original owner passed away a couple of years ago, but it seems he was probably around 20 years old.

Right up until a week or so ago he was racing around the garden and leaping 6 ft up into the tree in the corner with consumate ease.

I hope I'm as spry, and am able to go as peacefully, when I'm 140 years old.

There are a couple of good pics of him in an earlier article here.
