Perry eventually adopted the cat, and Mrs. Sulinaberg gave him pedigree papers showing he was born on February 1, 1964.

#4. Horse – 34 years and 5 months

A female tabby named Ma was probably the luckiest animal. She lives with Alice St George Moore in Drewsteignton, UK. Mum narrowly survived being caught in a gin trap as a kitten. However, she was rescued by a classical musician and her husband who was also a musician. Accidents have created particular problems for the feline, so she lives off meat from local butchers.

#2. Infant – 38 years old

The second largest cat ever lived was a black house cat named Baby who lived with Al Palusky and his mother Mabel in Duluth, Minnesota. He didn't leave the house in which he was born until he was 28. When Al got married, his new wife insisted on replacing the cat's claw furniture and removing the baby's claws. That was the first time the cat saw the veterinarian. The animal doesn't like children, so he hides behind furniture when they come over. Al attributes the cat's longevity to the exercise he gets every time he uses the litter box or wants to eat. His food bowl and litter box are in the basement, and he has to climb up and down 14 steps every time he needs to use them.

#1. Cream Puffs – 38 years 3 days

break the record? Lucy – 39 years old

He was visited by an elderly aunt who testified that she had known the cat since it was a kitten in 1972. Lucy died in 2011, and there was debate over whether she deserved the official title. While Guinness World Records doesn't recognize Lucy as the oldest living cat, it's safe to assume she deserves an honorable mention.
