Britain's oldest cat found?

Posted : 03-12-2007

A 26-year-old cat from Shropshire may be one of the oldest in the country, according to the BBC.

The black feline called Pussywillow lived off animals she caught herself up until the age of 22 according to owner Lin Brown.

Ms Brown explains that the family only began feeding her after she survived an attack by a fox four years ago and that she was near-feral when she was first taken in.

"I know from my local vet that they've always been absolutely astonished and said they have never known a cat that old," she tells the corporation.

Those wishing to try and help their animals live long and healthy lives may find that investing in comprehensive pet insurance allows them to focus on getting their animal better rather than veterinary bills, should the unexpected occur.

As the run-up to Christmas continues, pet lovers were recently advised by the California Veterinary Medical Association to ensure that their animals are safe from seasonal dangers such as antifreeze, stoves and heaters.
