According to the 2010 edition of Guiness World Records, which cat was the oldest ever verified rather than the world's oldest living cat?
Creme Puff (cat) Creme Puff (August 3, 1967 – August 6, 2005), (Felis catus) was a domestic cat, owned by Jake Perry of Austin, Texas, who died aged 38 years and 3 days. She was the oldest cat ever recorded, according to the 2010 edition of "Guinness World Records".
Benito Martínez Benito Martínez Abrogán (June 19, 1880? – October 11, 2006) was a Haitian Cuban who claimed to be the world's oldest living person. He claimed to have been born on June 19, 1880, near Cavaellon, Haiti; however, he had no documents to verify this and was thus never an officially eligible candidate for this record. The Cuban government sent officials to Haiti to investigate, but found nothing to either prove or disprove the claim. Cuban government medical experts attested that he was at least 119 years old at the time of his death, but the reasons for this determination were never presented.
