Flossie, 27, is named the world's oldest living cat by Guinness World Records

This lovely lady has officially been confirmed as the world's oldest living cat by Guinness World Records. Sprightly tortoiseshell Flossie was born in 1995, and recently turned 27 - the equivalent of 120 in human years.

Flossie has had a number of families during her long life, and when her last owner couldn’t look after her anymore she was handed into Cats Protection in Kent. "We were flabbergasted when vet records showed her to be nearly 27," said the charity's Naomi Rosling.

"She's the oldest cat I've ever met, at least 120 in human years. If I'm in such good shape when I'm her age I shall be a very happy lady."
