Features: The Siamese cat named Xiongxiong in the home of writer Ba Yuyu and poet Zhang Xianghua is a typical example. According to the calculation of zoologists, one year of a cat's age is equivalent to seven years of a human's. Therefore, Xiongxiong being treated as a predecessor, ancestor, and even an old ancestor is not unreasonable. Because Xiongxiong spent a peaceful twenty years in Ba Yuyu and Zhang Xianghua's home. Calculated at a ratio of one to seven, it is equivalent to one hundred and forty years. Judged purely as a cat, it is already beyond its senior years. If calculated by human age, one hundred and forty years is much higher than the age of the world's oldest living people.
