Tiffany Two

Tiffany Two (born March 13, 1988^[1] in San Diego, California) is the world's oldest living cat, aged 27 years, according to Guinness World Records.^[2]

Tiffany's story

Tiffany Two was bought by her owner, Sharon Voorhees, from a pet shop when she was 6 weeks old. The tortoiseshell feline has long outlived two dogs purchased by Voorhees at about the same time.^[3]

The cat subsists on a diet of both wet and dry cat food and, while mostly an indoor cat, ventures outside from time to time.^[4]

At 27 years old, Tiffany Two has lived the equivalent of 125 human years.

The previous world's oldest cat was Poppy, an English feline from Bournemouth, Dorset, who died at age 24 in June, 2014.^[5]

Missan's candidacy

It is contended that Missan, a Swedish farm cat, is 29 years old. Asa Wickberg, Missan's owner, says she found the cat as a stray in 1985 when Missan was a kitten. According to a representative for Guinness, Wickburg has requested that the organization declare Missan the world's oldest living cat. Guinness is waiting for more proof-of-age documents, such as medical records and statements from veterinarians, before ruling on Wickburg’s claim.^[6]

Oldest cat ever

The oldest cat ever recorded was Creme Puff, who lived for 38 years, 3 days.
