Poppy the cat may look like any other cat that’s getting up there in years.
But how old is she? 10? 11? 12??
12? Try double that!
Yup, Poppy the cat (born in 1990!) is now 24-years-old. She’s confirmed by Guinness World Records as the oldest living cat on the planet!!
So, what’s her secret for staying so alive for so long?
Her owner Jacqui West said:
“She keeps herself fit by walking around, and she eats a lot. She has biscuits in the morning and tinned food later on. She’s never been a big cat though.”
What’s amazing is how alive Poppy still is at age 24.
Even though she’s blind and deaf, she’s still kickin’!
She’s apparently kept her spot as top cat in her house, with her owner saying:
“Poppy is definitely the top cat, and she is still quite feisty. If one of the other cats tries to eat her food, she will bite them on the ear. We sometimes give her a bit of KFC chicken, fish and chips and even the odd bit of kebab meat.”
So cute!! She sounds like one spoiled kitty.
Though when any animal basically lives to double its life expectancy, we feel like they should be spoiled until their very last day.
We hope Poppy lives forever!
