Corduroy Regains World's Oldest Cat Title

Source: Huffington Post

Corduroy's age is equivalent to 124 human years.

Guinness World Records just revealed the name of the world's oldest living cat, but its old news for this puss.

Corduroy, a domestic long hair living in Sisters, Oregon, turned 26 on Aug. 1, and won the coveted honor after the previous title holder, Tiffany Two, died in May. Corduroy was probably a little catty about the award, because it was his second time winning it.

Tiffany Two -- who was 27 years, two months and nine days old when she died --snatched the record away from Corduroy last October when she was nominated and discovered by Guinness World Records.

HRH looked that good until she turned about 20. She only started looking really bad her last two months and I let her go shortly after she turned 21 and was obviously ready to go.

They still don't live long enough.

Creme Puff (August 3, 1967 – August 6, 2005) was an American cat who died aged 38 years and 3 days. She was the oldest cat ever recorded, according to the 2010 edition of Guinness World Records.

Creme Puff and Jake Perry's other long-lived cat

Creme Puff lived with her owner, Jake Perry, in Austin, Texas. Perry also owned Granpa, who was claimed to have been born in Paris in 1964 and died 1998, aged 34 years and 2 months. Granpa was posthumously awarded 1999 Cat of the Year by Cats & Kittens magazine. Granpa was featured in an earlier edition of Guinness World Records. The co-authors of at least one book have pondered whether the longevity of Perry's cats may have had something to do with an unusual diet of, among other things, bacon and eggs, asparagus, and broccoli, concluding that Perry "must be doing something right."
