According to the British "Mirror" recently reported that Flossie, a cat living in London, England, is more than 26 years and 300 days old. It was certified by Guinness World Records this month as the world's oldest living cat.

According to reports, Flossie was born in 1995 and lived happily with the original owner for 10 years. It was later adopted by the original owner's sister for 14 years until the original owner's sister also passed away. Flossie later lived with the son of the original owner's sister. Recently, Flossie was handed over to Vicki Green, a volunteer with Cat Protection, for adoption.

Ms. Green described Flossie as an "amazing cat." It has adapted so well that we can sleep with it in bed.

"Despite being deaf and having poor eyesight, none of this seems to affect Flossie. It's totally accepting where it is, and it's still super cute and has a good appetite," Green said.

"Long life, lovely Flossie," said the editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records. "We're very excited because it's not every day we meet a cat that's been alive since the mid-1990s."

"It’s equivalent to the age of humans in their 120s. It's comparable to French supercentenarian Jeanne Calment, who lived 122 years and 164 days, holding the record for the oldest person in history."

How to prolong the lifespan of cats?

1. Keep your cat happy

The lifespan of a cat is also related to its mental health of the cat. If a cat is in a state of sadness, tension, and anxiety for a long time, the lifespan a cat is definitely not long. If a cat is in a state of joy for a long time, lives happily every day, and is in a good mood, its body will naturally be better, and its lifespan will be longer.

2. Take your cat for a full body check every year

If you want your cat to live longer, please do not make the cat get sick, or you can prevent the cat from getting sick. It is recommended that the owner take the cat for a general examination every year to see if the cat's physical condition is good. In this way, it can be detected and treated early, and the best treatment time will not be delayed. Therefore, the owner must be willing to spend the cost of this physical examination.

3. Guarantee the quality of life

In fact, cats are just like people. If the quality of life is high, the body will naturally be better and the lifespan will naturally be longer. Therefore, the owner must ensure that the cat's living environment, diet, and water drinking are stable and that it can be treated immediately after getting sick. If the quality of life of the cat is guaranteed, it will naturally live longer.

4. Appropriate exercise

Unlike dogs, cats do not need to go out for walks, but they do need exercise. The owner can play with the cat with a cat stick and reward it with some snacks appropriately. You can also buy some fun toys for the cat to increase the cat's exercise at home.

5. Guaranteed diet

If you want your cat to live longer, your cat's diet is also a very important part. As long as eat a healthy diet, your cat can live longer. But cats don't distinguish between good and bad. So cat owners must control their cat's diet well.

Three things to keep in mind when choosing cat food:

A. Cat food that feels very oily tastes very salty and smells very fishy cannot be selected.

B. If there are too many preservatives in cat food with a long shelf life, so you can't choose them.

C. The price is too low to choose. This cat food may be made from ingredients of unknown origin.
