Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Flossie, the world’s oldest living cat, is nearly 27 years old
If you’re thinking about getting a pet cat, you might wonder how long a pet cat lives in human years. Just like humans and other animals, a cat’s life expectancy depends on many factors, such as health, diet, and environment, but on average, the average lifespan for a domestic cat is about 12-14 years. However, some pet cats can live to be around 20 years old. Now, the world’s oldest living cat, Flossie, is nearly 27 years old, the equivalent of 120-year human age. You might assume that the cat has been with her owner for a long time. But in fact, she was just recently adopted by a new owner who volunteered to adopt her at her last stage. The female cat was a stray kitten in England in 1995. She was adopted but the owner died after 10 years. Then she had been looked after by the previous owner’s sister for 14 years until the owner passed away. Subsequently, she had been taken care of by the last owner’s son for three years until she was taken to a cat welfare charity. What a life she has lived! The new owner hopes the longest-living cat’s story encourages people to look after older pets.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about the story of this longest-living cat.
