According to Guinness World Records, Flossie has the human age of 120 years
A new record has been set by a pet in South East London as the world’s oldest living cat.
Flossie, 26, from Orpington, was confirmed as the oldest cat by Guinness World Records, who said she had a human age of 120 years old.
Owner Vicki Green described Flossie as “a wonderful cat” who felt at home after being rehomed by Cats Protection.
Vicki said Flossie was deaf, had low vision, but was still affectionate and playful.
“I knew from the start that Flossie was a special cat,” Ms. Green said.
“But I didn’t think I’d be sharing my home with a Guinness World Records title holder.
“She’s so affectionate and playful, especially sweet considering how old she is.”

Flossie was rehomed by Cats Protection and now lives in Orpington with Vicki Green
According to Guinness World Records, Flossie was living in a cat colony near a Merseyside hospital when two workers took pity on them and each gave shelter to a cat.
Flossie and the worker, a woman, lived together for 10 years until she died, and Flossie was taken in by her sister, who had Flossie for 14 years until she too died, the organization added.
She was eventually rehomed to Mrs. Green because she had experience caring for older cats.
