Tiffany Two, the record holder for oldest cat living, has today reached the grand old age of 27.
Born on March 13, 1988 in San Diego, California, the short-haired black and orange tortoiseshell, was bought by her owner Sharon Voorhees from a local pet shop when the record breaking kitty was just six weeks old.
Sharon paid $10 for her and commonly refers to Tiffany Two as the “best money ever spent”.
Around the same time, Sharon purchased two dogs, born around the same time. Sadly they both passed away many years ago, with Tiffany Two out living them by some distance.
To put her age into context, Tiffany Two has now lived the equivalent of 125 human years.
haron settled on the name Tiffany Two as something of a tribute to another tortoiseshell cat she once owned in the 1970s that also boasted a beautiful multi-coloured coat.
Despite her incredible age, she still has good sight and hearing. Besides very small ailments such as high blood pressure from time to time, Sharron describes her as “not feeble and still able to go up and down stairs”.
“She’s not afraid of anything or anyone. She walks right past the dogs, she’s very feisty!” Sharon explains, recounting the record-breaking cat went missing for a full two years.
