so, following on from the cat's dreadlock thread, was my cat the oldest pet on mn?????

[fryalot]

She was 26 when she died.

Has anyone had a pet older?

Yes my tortoise is older

Blimey - I'm waiting for our miserable moggy to croak it and was hopeful now he is 14. Don't think I could live with his snoring and grumpiness another 12 years.

Pelvic - how old is/was your tortoise?

squonk, i dont know about the oldest cat on MN, that could be the oldest cat anywhere, seriously, you should check it out.

Breaks "Oldest Cat" World Record It?s official. In mid-August, the Guinness Book of World Records confirmed that Granpa, who appeared in the March 1997 Cat Fancy centerfold, was the world's longest-living cat. Granpa, who died on April 1, 1998, lived to be 34 years, two months and four hours. The previous record was 34 years and one day and had been set in 1957 by a tabby from England. WOW! Our Fluff doesn't even come close!

oops
anyway, you can read it here - don't have to link

God knows what that links to

Squonk you are severly distressing me with this thread - my fat blind grumpy dreadlocked cat is only 8 years old.....how will I ever be able to own a nice sofa, rug, or carpet in my lifetime if the cat is going to live that long

We had a cat before that lived until she was 20 but she was well manky by then, would hate to think what a 30+ cat would be like
