The owner of the ‘world’s oldest cat’ has paid tribute to the veteran feline after revealing he has died at the grand old age of 31. Geriatric moggy Rubble had been with owner Michele Heritage since she got him as a kitten on her 20th birthday.
Rubble beat the record of Scooter, a Siamese from Texas, who was named as a record-breaker at the age of 30 by the Guinness Book of World before he died in 2016.
The oldest cat ever according to the record books is Creme Puff, who was born on 3 August 1967 and lived until 6 August 2005 – an amazing 38 years and three days.
