A nearly 27-year-old feline has been crowned the world's oldest living cat.
Flossie, at the age of almost 27 -- which is the feline equivalent of being 120 human years old, according to Guinness World Records -- has been crowned the world's oldest living cat.
"She's so affectionate and playful, especially sweet when you remember how old she is. I'm immensely proud that Cats Protection matched me with such an amazing cat," she added. She was adopted by a worker at the hospital, who she lived with for 10 years before her owner died. Flossie was taken in by her late owner's sister. After 14 years, her second owner died. She was then with her second owner's son for three years, before being entrusted to volunteers at Cats Protection."We were flabbergasted when we saw that Flossie's vet records showed her to be 27 years old," said Naomi Rosling, the charity's branch coordinator, in the release.
"I've always wanted to give older cats a comfortable later life," said Green, who hopes Flossie's story will encourage potential cat owners to provide a haven for older pets.
