(Fox News) – A nearly 27-year-old cat from England has been
named the world’s
oldest living cat
by Guinness World Records

.

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."

The world record guide claims Flossie’s age is "equivalent" to
about "120 human years."

Owner Vicki Green stated,“I knew from the start that Flossie was
a special cat, but I didn’t imagine I’d share my home with a world
record holder.”

WORLD’S OLDEST DOG HAS DIED AT AGE 22

(CNN) — Pebbles, the world’s oldest dog, has died at the age of 22, according to Guinness World Records.

The record-breaking toy fox terrier died of natural causes at her
home in Taylors, South Carolina, on Monday,
said Guinness in a
news release.

The elderly pooch was five months shy of her 23rd birthday,
according to the release.

Pebbles was only recognized as the world’s oldest living dog
earlier this year. In April, Guinness had initially named
 
a 21-year
old chihuahua named TobyKeith
 
as the oldest living dog — but
when Pebbles’ owners saw the news, they realized their dog was
actually older and they leapt into action like a dog chasing a
squirrel.

(ABC) – At 86 years old, American Airlines flight attendant Bette
Nash *above) is the oldest and longest-serving flight attendant
in the world, according to Guinness World Records.  

Nash started flying back in 1957 and will celebrate 65 years in-
flight this fall.

She can choose any route she wants and for most of her career
she has been loyal to the New York-Washington-Boston Shuttle.

Nash prefers this route because she says it allows her to be home
every night with her handicapped son who she continues to care
for to this day.

The oldest known living terrestrial animal is Jonathan (above), a Seychelles giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea hololissa),
originally from the Seychelles, but now a long-time resident of
the remote South Atlantic island of St Helena, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. He is believed to have 
been born (or hatched) c. 1832, thus making him 190 years old 
this year. In January 2016, the BBC reported that Jonathan was
given a new diet intended to keep him healthy and extend his life.

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.
