Poppy the cat is certainly feline her age – after being recognized as the world’s oldest cat at 24 years. The tortoiseshell puss from Bournemouth was born in February 1990, making her a ripe old 114 in human years. She has lived through five British Prime Ministers but is now a frail old lady and spends most of her time indoors relaxing. Poppy, who has been recognized by Guinness World Records, is one year younger than Misao Okawa of Japan, the oldest person in the world.

Reblogged this on Pippakin Talks Cats, Dogs, Teeth and Claws and commented:
See this?! Twenty four years old!!! Herself is younger by four years! She has time.
Looking at Poppy its easy to see the signs she shares with Herself. the mouth is a little puffy, missing a few teeth and the coat is not the shining, glossy pride it once was. But the look of disdain. The unblinking stare, they’re the same too and they say its not over yet…..
Wonderful examples of feline supremacy…..

That’s amazing! My Hobbes passed away about three months ago at 18 and I thought THAT was old!
