Flossie, the record-breaking feline, received verification from
the world record reference guide, on Nov. 10, according to a
press release. 

Guinness World Records says Flossie was born on Dec. 29, 1995,
and she received her verification at the "nyan-tastic age of 26
years 316 days."

about "120 human years."

TURNER, Ore. (KPTV) – A local cat might soon be in the Guinness
Book of World Records as the world’s oldest living cat.

FOX 12 talked to the owner of Samm, Charly Briggs who lives in
Turner. She said he is 26 years old, and her friends suggested she
check with Guinness to see if that age is significant. It turns out, it
is.

Briggs said she is in the process of submitting the proper evidence
to Guinness World Records to have Samm officially recognized.
