Oldest Cat Trivia: 
 
 The Oldest Living Cat 
 
 According to the Guinness World Record (of 2002 - no longer available online), the oldest living cat was then a cat from Victoria, Australia, named Kataleena Lady. According to Perry, it’s not just Granpa and Creme Puff who had unusually long lives: About a third of his cats, he says, lived to be at least 30 years old—about twice the average feline life span. Ever since that day, Corduroy and Okura have been inseperable. Hardesty believes at least six of them reached age 30, with several more making it to 25. The current title is held by Cream Puff, who passed away at 38 years old. Okura said she picked out Corduroy when he was just a kitten, and she was just a little girl. (The average age of cats is 12-15 years) This is, of course, barring any serious medical conditions or untimely accidents. Corduroy loves naps, hunting for mice and cuddling. She said she still remembers the day like it was yesterday: "I was so excited I could hardly contain myself -- the 20-minute drive to Redmond felt like forever." She hopes his long life will encourage people to stop declawing their cats. he two kittens looked like identical balls of fluff.
– Jake Perry's cats live the good life. And they live it for a long time. One of Perry's felines—Granpa Rexs Allen, who lived to be 34—broke the Guinness World Record for oldest cat in 1998. Seven years later, his kitty Crème Puff topped that record, living to be 38. Plenty more of his cats have made it to at least 30, while, on average, cats live to be 12 to 15 years old. In a profile in Atlas Obscura, Christina Couch writes that she first met Perry when he fixed her bathtub in 2012. It was then that he shared some of his secrets for feline longevity: A breakfast of eggs, turkey bacon, broccoli and coffee … with cream A splash of red wine to "circulate the arteries" Stimulation by way of nature documentaries screened in his garage-turned-theater Lots of love and attention The regimen, says Perry's vet, "is not what they taught us in school." He speculates the diuretic effects of the caffeine may help kidney function, though Couch notes that the science behind Perry's regimen is "shaky at best." And an animal nutrition expert cautions that caffeine and alcohol can be harmful. Perry, 85, recently beat pancreatic cancer himself, and he still has a cat: Jean Claude Van Damme, age 19. These days, however, the title of the oldest living cat belongs to one named Corduroy, KTVZ reports. The 26-year-old Main coon mix lives in Sisters, Ore. "I really think the key to (Corduroy's) longevity is, I've always allowed him to be a cat," says his owner. "We've kept his claws (and) it's allowed him to go outside and defend himself and also hunt." Read more about Perry and his pets here. See a short documentary about them here.
