According to the 2010 edition of Guiness World Records, which cat was the oldest ever verified rather than the world's oldest living cat?
Tiffany Two Tiffany Two (March 13, 1988 – May 22, 2015) was the world's oldest living cat, aged 27 years, according to Guinness World Records. This distinction is different from the oldest cat ever verified; Creme Puff lived for 38 years, 3 days.
European Shorthair The European Shorthair, also called the European or in WCF Celtic Shorthair, is a breed originating in Europe. The term has also been used as an elaborate way of referring to common domestic cats of Europe, causing some confusion as the pedigree cats of this breed also should resemble the typical domestic cats of Europe. This role was held until the beginning of the 20th century by the British Shorthair, even though stockier than the majority of common European cats, until 1949 when the European Shorthair was recognized by the Fédération internationale féline (FIFe). The oldest known European Shorthair registered in FIFe was born in 1940, as the origin of the European Shorthair predates the formation of FIFe in 1949. Breed standards describing the European Shorthair as an established breed can be found in different cat books from the 1930ies.
