World’s Oldest Living Cat Flossie Turns 30 And Is Still ‘Playful And Curious’

Most cats live 12-18 years. Flossie just turned 30.

That makes her not just old for a cat, but the world’s oldest living cat according to Guinness World Records. She’s outlived the average cat lifespan by over a decade, and she’s still going. To put that in perspective, 30 cat years is roughly equivalent to 137 human years. She’s been around since 1995. She’s seen the rise of the internet, multiple presidential administrations, and technology most of us take for granted now didn’t exist when she was born.

She’s had multiple homes, health issues, and the typical struggles of a senior cat. She’s deaf now. Her vision is failing. But she just celebrated her 30th birthday, proving that some cats are just built to last.

Twitter is celebrating her milestone in the comments, and honestly, she deserves all the love. Meet Flossie, the cat who refused to quit.
