World’s Oldest Cat Gets Guinness World Records Gong After Clocking 114 Years

Poppy the moggy is feline her age after being officially recognised as the world’s oldest cat at 24, equivalent to 114 in human years.

The tortoiseshell was born in February 1990, the same month Nelson Mandela was released from prison.

She has lived through five British Prime Ministers but is now a frail old lady and spends most of her time indoors relaxing.
