If animals are still shown alive then presumably there is no cut off? In my genealogy software, anyone over 100 years old is assumed to be dead. How old is the oldest recorded Dexter? Did someone say one lived to 30-something or am I dreaming?

Parndon Green Finch died about a month after her 29th birthday, so in her 30th year. This can get misquoted that she was actually 30 when she died.
