Good for Sid!
My oldest cat, Kingsford, is 16 right now. She's black too (I've always been a sucker for black cats). With the exception of a little arthritis and being a little overweight, she looks to have many more years in her. On a sad note, her mother died 6 months ago, just before Thanksgiving.
She was 18, and one of the best cats we've ever had.
I hope Sid's around for many more years to come!
