Ive known cats that lived past 20, though Ill admit that they lost their spryness long before that. 

The oldest cat I've met was 25, and I've known several who were in their twenties.  I believe the world record is something like 38 years old.  Remember, age itself isn't a disease, it just increases the likelihood of various diseases occurring.  If a cat dodges the bullets of kidney disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and arthritis, they can be quite active for a lot longer than you'd think.

Or maybe he's just part kneazel... ;-)

Guys, if you want to talk about cat lifespans, just ask, and I'll happily split off a thread for you.  Otherwise, try to keep the Timeline thread free of chit-chat.  Thanks!

 Sorry, what started this is if the series goes on another ten or thirteen years, how old will Mister be? Or will he die?  So it does have to do with the timeline sort of..

However old he is he will certainly be well travelled (courtesy of Bob ;D).
He could live to the end of the series or ... he could be injured/killed while 'carrying' Bob on a mission. What would happen to Bob then?
But Jim probably has it all planned out and we will find out ... in due time.
(See I got the Timeline in Priscellie :bows:)

Is there a scene where Harry and Thomas realize they are half-brothers?  Which book is it in?

Yup.  "Blood Rites."

Just to clarify a touch. Yes and no. Harry finds out in Blood Rites, but Thomas had already known since before they met in Grave Peril.

 Yeah, I believe that Maggie told him, and also instructed him to look out for his little brother.  Which he has, ever since he and Harry met.

4ASF Murphy begins teaching Harry to stick fight.
From Heorot:
"I don’t think Caine knew much about quarterstaff fighting. Murphy had been teaching it to me, however, for almost four years."

~1 BSF: Harry meets Susan (it's described as a "couple years" before the events of "Grave Peril")

I just noticed that when Harry met Sal.. er... Susan *g* is tied down even more by this line in Storm Front.

She had been tracking me ever since interviewing me for a feature story, right after I'd opened up my business.

p.55 Paperback
