30-Year-Old Siamese Cat Named World’s Oldest by Guinness….Born on March 26, 1986, Scooter lives with his owner Gail Floyd in Mansfield, Texas.
Update 16th May 2016: Reports that Scooter has died. He was then briefly the world’s oldest cat.
He has travelled to 45 of the 50 states and enjoys being blowed dried after baths! He is a traditional Siamese. I think it is rare for a purebred to be the oldest cat. Great to see though. He looks very old – naturally. He longevity is put down to being active. It is probably just in the genes. Just good fortune.
I won’t write anymore because the video should have said all there is to know. There are other pages on PoC about the longest lived cats – just click this to see some articles on this subject.
Sometimes embedded videos die. If that happens I apologise in advance.
We may never know if he was ill.
But, like some humans, animals can just die from old age too.
Fantastic age. He must have been very ill due to old age.
