The Oldest Cat in the World – Everything You Need to Know
You may be wondering about the oldest cat in the world, His name is “Crème Puff”.
The cat who held the record for the longest lifespan ever recorded was 38 years, 3 days old. Crème Puff was born on August 3, 1967, and he passed away on August 6, 2005.
His owner, Jake Perry, also owned Grandpa Rex Allen, who lived to the ripe old age of 34 and was the previous record holder for the oldest cat to have ever lived.
Creme Puff was a Siamese cat
While most cats are known to live to a ripe old age, Creme Puff was the oldest recorded cat to live past the age of 38. Her life span was impressive, but her remarkable longevity makes her even more remarkable.
She was born on August 3, 1967, and lived until August 6, 2005. While she did not make the Guinness Book of World Records, she is still the oldest living cat in the book!
Creme Puff was owned by Jake Perry of Austin, Texas, and lived to the age of 38 years, three days. Another famous Siamese cat, Rubble, lived until August 6, 2007, but surpassed his record.
This tabby cat was born in Surbiton, England, in 1922, and traveled to the United States in 1954.
The story of Creme Puff is a fascinating one. She’s now credited with saving the lives of several people. She was a beloved pet and is greatly missed by her owners.
Corduroy is a black cat
Corduroy, the oldest black cat in the world, is 26 years old – that’s 121 cat years! He has been around for almost 30 years and still enjoys playing and jumping on counters!
He was adopted from an Oregon shelter when Reed Okura was only 7 years old and is half Maine Coon. He has a healthy and happy lifestyle and is very affectionate with his owner.
Corduroy’s mellow personality hasn’t slowed down much over the years. He still loves to hunt mice and critters, though he’s not as good at it as he once was.
The family has a 160-acre property where Corduroy hunts, and Corduroy celebrates his birthday by getting a live mouse. Though he has had kidney problems, he still seems to enjoy life.
Ludo is the world record holder for the longest cat.
Ludo, a Maine Coon who lives in Wakefield, UK with his owner Kelsey Gill, is the Longest domestic cat (alive). He measures an astounding 118.33 centimeters (3 feet 10.6 inches) long. Ludo is owned by Kelsey Gill.
After being enamored with the enormous tabby-colored cats that appeared in the Harry Potter films, Kelsey made the decision to obtain a Maine Coon as a pet.
She adopted Ludo when he was only 13 weeks old, and it didn’t take her long to realize that he was the same size as Maine Coons who were several years older than he was.
Ludo is a very active cat, but because of his large size, he is not as nimble as some of the other felines that are available. Because he is so enormous, Kelsey is required to transport him in a crate whenever they go on a trip.
Kelsey mentioned to Guinness World Records that despite Ludo’s enormous size, she is able to track him down at any time. This was said during the photoshoot for the Guinness World Records 2017 book, which took place when Ludo was being photographed.
