Meet Rosie !



Meet Rosie the cat who celebrated her 32nd birthday on June 1st 2023 and her owner reckons she could be the oldest in the UK. The tortoiseshell tucked into a miniature birthday cake of red salmon as she reached the milestone which is the equivalent of an impressive 140 in human years.

The record is currently held by 27-year-old Flossie from London, but as Rosie's owners are waiting to hear from the Guinness World Records she might soon be knocked off the top spot ...

Rosie was born on 1 June 1991. Rosie's paw-rent rescued the "fluffball" when she was a kitten and has only visited the vet twice in her life. Lisa Blissett said Rosie "is lovely" and mostly enjoys "eating and sleeping" these days.

Rosie is just six years off the age of the oldest cat to have ever lived - Crème Puff from Texas lived to the grand old age of 38 according to the Guinness World Records.

The record breaking feline was born on 3 August 1967 and lived until 6 August 2005, cared for by his owner Jake Perry in Austin, Texas, in the United States.

  2. Maybe going to the vet (or human doctor) compromises your health and longevity?!

  16. Oh wow I did not know that any cat has lived that long, the longest any of our cats lived was 19 years, I can imagine all it does is eat and sleep at that age.

  21. I think I heard this story on the radio the other day. If it's the same owner all of her pets (and her husband) lived to a ripe old age. I think the cat gets a tin of salmon twice a year, on her birthday and at Christmas. Take care and have a lovely week, Sue xx

  25. Wow, what a milestone! Rosie looks a lot like my Twiggy, who has sadly just been diagnosed with cancer last week, and it doesn't look as if she will live to see her 16th birthday in September.
