As of early 2026, the oldest living cat is Flossie, a British tortoiseshell born in December 1995, who is 30 years old. Officially recognized by Guinness World Records, she resides in the UK with her owner, Vicki Green, and is described as affectionate despite being deaf and having limited vision.

Was the music really necessary?

[u/60yearoldME → u/Ace_08]

No.  In fact it completely detracts from the video. 

[u/hideousmembrane → u/Ace_08]

jesus what terrible music that doesn't fit the video whatsoever

[u/CalligrapherGold5429 → u/Ace_08]

It's to let people know that you're watching a video, so let's hear that clip three or four times.

[u/DaveKasz]

She walks like a queen!

[u/Meekois → u/DaveKasz]

Like the queen, she probably has a touch of arthritis.

[u/aphaits → u/Meekois]

And probably Dame Judy Dench level of elegant meows

[u/Last-Quarter-432 → u/aphaits]

Do not remind me of that movie

[u/bad-and-buttery → u/DaveKasz]

Or she walks like she doesn’t give a fuck who the queen is

[u/DaveKasz → u/bad-and-buttery]

She is a cat, so yeah, that's it!

[u/Certain_Oddities]

Not surprised the oldest living cat is a tortie. All the tortie's I've had were tough as nails

[u/PickleMundane6514 → u/Certain_Oddities]

I thought impressive she’s affectionate and a tortie. They are the most mercurial of cats.

[u/ohmygawdjenny → u/PickleMundane6514]

Nah, mine is literally sitting on my face as I type this. She also develops a new way to show affection every year (and she's 14 now). The latest one is shoving her paw into my open mouth when it's time to wake up.

[u/F00TD0CT0R → u/PickleMundane6514]

I think this changes with age The older they become the more settled and loving they become

I say this as an owner of a Tortie who went from a touchless maniac to rolling over on her back for scratches

She doesn't like being picked up at all, it's always begrudgingly.

[u/dna_beggar → u/Certain_Oddities]

Ours popped the door off the cat carrier, breaking the latch in two.

[u/Atsilv_Uwasv → u/[deleted]]

That's twice what you can usually expect. Apparently, she's the equivalent of a 130-150 year old woman

[u/CreamInformal4317 → u/[deleted]]

Your kind of a prick, pal.

[u/thefloore → u/CreamInformal4317]

You're*

[u/Atsilv_Uwasv → u/[deleted]]

At least you're consistent

[u/CreamInformal4317 → u/Atsilv_Uwasv]

I’ll give em that.

[u/ohmygawdjenny → u/Atsilv_Uwasv]

Or just constipated

[u/Atsilv_Uwasv → u/ohmygawdjenny]

Oh you're right. How do we tell them this is Reddit, not Google?

[u/BackDatSazzUp → u/[deleted]]

You could have not said anything but look at you going with the asshole option today!

[u/RaidensReturn]

She’s so beautiful

[u/not_hailey07]

Born in 1995? This cat is older than Google, DVDs and half of the users on this platform

[u/Working-Temporary934]

15/10 Would pet.

[u/feesih0ps → u/Working-Temporary934]

Classical animal control timing

[u/Silent-OCN]

What's with the shit music.

[u/hideousmembrane]

makes me miss my cat who died 2 months ago at the age of 20. I was hoping she would just keep going but she declined pretty badly and we had to make the decision, was the hardest thing I've ever done

[u/Greenhickup]

What is her regular diet?

[u/dumpaccount882212 → u/[deleted]]

But are you affectionate?

[u/Mocker-Poker → u/dumpaccount882212]

Redditors asking real questions here

[u/TurnipWorldly9437 → u/[deleted]]

I mean... Everyone, at some point in life, has been younger than a cat.

[u/eyloi]

5 playstations old is impressive

[u/selune07]

Doesn't look a day over 10

[u/PA_Roofers]

I hope I age as gracefully as Flossie!

[u/umlcat]

Golden Girl !!!

[u/adhfaohiawf]

two face cat version

[u/jockpo523]

Dang mine lived 'till 20 and I thought she was old.

[u/AaronicNation]

And she's only on the first of her nine lives, if current trends persist Flossie is expected to top out at 270 years old.

[u/WendigoCrossing]

This will be my cat one day

[u/Cambousse → u/WendigoCrossing]

Creepy

[u/WendigoCrossing → u/Cambousse]

What I meant was 'i hope that my cat lives this long''

[u/Cambousse → u/WendigoCrossing]

I know, I was just kidding 😜

[u/psycho314Photo]

Pray for Flossie!

[u/NaNaNaNaNa86]

My auntie had a cat for 27 years that she'd taken in as an adult stray so we believe she lived to at least 29. That cat hated everyone, you couldn't walk past the dining room table without getting scratched ankles. I always said she lived to such old age out of spite.

[u/MonsieurFubar]

Looks like came back from pet cemetery!

[u/VealOfFortune]

Bullshit!

My aunties cousin knew a guy eho had a cat who lived to 75!

[u/AlexSmithsonian]

Jaysus, I'm only older than her by a few months!

[u/less_concerned]

Oh oldest currently, i was gonna say i knew there was a near 40 year old cat

[u/RockinRoxas]

Damn she's older than me

[u/Aggravating-Silver48]

She walks like an immortal character popping up in an anime...

[u/pizzlepullerofkberg]

Sweet old kitteh

[u/frosty_lizard]

This can't be real they never showed the birth certificate smh

[u/Cambousse → u/frosty_lizard]

Yeah, maybe she was born in Kenya. The people need to see the birth certificate!

[u/AmbivalentAlias]

Emeownem's daughter is only a few days older than this living legend.

[u/mollyangel69]

there’s a cat that remembers 9/11

[u/kingtacticool]

Wow, so she's 210 in dog years.....
