Question: What’s the oldest age ever recorded for a domestic cat? 

Answer: Creme Puff holds the Guinness World Record as the oldest cat ever, living an astonishing 38 years and 3 days in Austin, Texas. Her owner, Jake Perry, also raised another record-holding cat, Granpa Rexs Allen, who lived to 34. Perry swore by an eccentric feline lifestyle: his cats were fed not just dry food, but also turkey bacon, eggs, broccoli, and even tiny sips of red wine and coffee with cream. He also built elaborate indoor-outdoor play structures to keep them stimulated. While experts are skeptical of the dietary choices (and definitely don’t recommend wine for pets), there’s no denying Perry’s cats lived unusually long lives, making him something of a feline longevity legend.
