The oldest cat in the world was 24-year-old Poppy from the English city of Bournemouth. In terms of the "human" age, the record holder is now 114 years old. Poppy got into the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest living cat. The title of record holder passed to her from Pinky from Kansas, who died last year at the age of 23.

4. The owner of Poppy Jackie said that people often ask about the secret of her pet's longevity, to which she answers: "I think she has the right diet and a lot of exercise."

"She keeps herself in shape by walking and eats a lot. She has cookies for breakfast, and then canned food. At the same time, she was never fat," Jackie noted. (Photo: SWNS)
