The oldest cat was Baby who was 36 years old when they take this picture. Baby lives in Deluth, Minnesota. He came to live with her humans in 1970 as a kitten. They said he is still in good health and has been interviewed twice by their local TV station - once when he turn 30, again when he turn 36.
You have to admit. That's one heck of an accomplishment - to have lived that long.
The 3rd old living cat was Beets at the relatively young age of 27. Her human say she find Beets as a kitten when she was about a year old. She has a bit of a problem with her balance, and she takes daily medication for a thyroid condition. Beets has a younger fur sybling, Tootsie, who is 26. It did not say if Tootsie was a house panther or not. Supposedly both cats will go in for a spot of playing now and again, and love to get catnip.
We not really sure how old I am...the vet thinks I am 7 to 9 years old. I think I have used up several of my 9 lives when I lived feral, so somehow, I think I be lucky to make it to 20, let alone close to 30!
I thought my house panther friends might find this pair interesting. Purrrrhaps one of us will break these records?
