Kitty was originally my mum's cat, and was brought home to the family in 1987 to keep mum quiet about wanting a puppy! Ironically, 20 years later dad bought her Josie for exactly the same reason! Anyway, ever since mum left the family home to go to University in the USA, Kitty has lived with mum's parents as that's her home and mum didn't think it was fair to uproot her when she returned to the UK.
But now, more than 100 years into her life, Kitty's still going strong. She's pretty fiesty when she wants to be and I wouldn't mess with her. Respect for the elderly, that's what that is. Mum says her coat's a bit straggly now, that she's a bit slower on her feet than she used to be and that she's content to spend lots of time asleep, but hey, she can move lightning fast when there are treats around. But can't we all? Kitty likes Nature's Menu and Applaws the best, but she doesn't get them very often as they're a bit rich for her now. Although they're not too rich for me, so why don't I get them more?
I'd love to know if Kitty is among the oldest cats still alive in the UK, or even the world! Does anyone know of a cat older than her and, if so, where they live? Let's see if we can find the world's oldest living cat...
