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.

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.
