The oldest domestic cat was a tabby called Puss, who lived with Mrs. T. Holway of Devon, England until she was 36 years old! She died on November 29, 1939 just one day after her 36th birthday.
I was interested in the oldest cat on record.....this is the info i consistently found..........my oldest cat, Tabitha (hence the first letter of taopjlcpg ) just passed away at Thanksgiving time last year......she was 18 & 1/2..........she was my best friend because he grew up together...i got her in the 2nd grade.........but she is still growing....i just bought a house ayr ago....so i buried her in my back yard and planted a sapling japenese lilac tree next to her....so u see she is still with me just in another form ....this tree was picked out special b/c her b-day was may 20th...and believe it or not this tree has big, bold, beautiful smelling blooms only 2 weeks out of the yr...& guess when?...yup the last 2 weeks in may!!!!!.........but since it is it's 1st year i have not seen the blooms yet...............i will get some pics of her on here soon ...i worked as a vet tech for 3 & 1/2 yrs , until just a couple of months ago.......so i got to be there for many pets' last breath....it was an honor to look into eyes & let them know they are not leaving this world alone .......anyway atbby thanks y'all for listening to her story...and i dedicate my inspiration and love of animals to tabby, my best friend
