I had two Maine Coons - I got them when they were 10 - they lived to almost 20 and 21. They tend to be fairly healthy/long lived breeds, so don't be surprised!
My current cat (Jaxie, in my avatar) came to me at 7 or 8 - and I'm thankful for the shorter hair (though I think he has more hair follicles then the other two!)
I didn't rename any of them, though.
