Creme Puff (cat) Creme Puff (August 3, 1967 – August 6, 2005) was a domestic cat, owned by Jake Perry of Austin, Texas. She was the oldest cat ever recorded, according to the 2010 edition of Guinness World Records, when she died aged 38 years and 3 days.

But yes, there does seem to be more older British cats, or at least reported.

He was a great cat. Back then we lived in the country and once he brought me a barely live jack rabbit that was freshly killed
