Flossie, equivalent to 136 human years, holds Guinness World Record after decades of care. According to the US New York Post and others, Flossie, the world\u2019s oldest living cat residing in the UK, celebrated her 30th birthday on December 29 of last year.
\nFlossie, who has fur mixed with brown and black, was born near Merseyside Hospital in 1995 and is a \u201cstreet-born\u201d cat. After living as a stray, she was adopted by a hospital employee and stayed with him until the owner passed away 10 years later. She then moved to the owner\u2019s sister\u2019s house and lived there for 14 years.
\nAfter the second owner passed away, his son cared for Flossie for three years but decided he was not in a situation to raise a cat and entrusted her to a shelter. It was there that Flossie met her current owner, Vicky Green.
\nGreen said, \u201cI knew from the start that Flossie was a special cat, but I never imagined I would end up living with a world record-holding cat.\u201d She added, \u201cI always wanted to give elderly cats a comfortable retirement,\u201d and \u201cI am proud to have met such an excellent cat through a cat protection organization.\u201d
\nAlthough Flossie has age-related conditions such as hearing impairment and vision loss, she is said to still have a lot of playfulness and curiosity. A source from the shelter speculated on the reason for her longevity, stating, \u201cFlossie maintained a consistent routine that included regular meals, sufficient sleep time, and hunting play of appropriate intensity.\u201d
\nMeanwhile, Flossie was named the world\u2019s oldest living cat in the Guinness World Records in November 2022.
\nAlthough no longer alive, the cat that holds the record for the longest-lived cat is \u201cCream Puff,\u201d owned by Jake Perry. This cat was born on August 3, 1967, in Texas, USA, and lived for 38 years and 3 days until August 6, 2005.
\nAccording to the American Animal Hospital Association, one cat year is equivalent to 15 human years, and two cat years are equivalent to 24 human years. After the age of two, four human years are added per cat year. Based on this calculation, Flossie is equivalent to 136 human years old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
