Rubble made it to 31!

The ‘world’s oldest cat’ has died at the age of 31. His heartbroken mom was given him as a kitten for her 20th birthday and they have been inseparable ever since.

Rubble, a fluffy Maine Coon became the oldest feline in the world after reaching 31 years old – the equivalent of almost 150 in human years – last year.

She said: ‘He would have been 32 in May so it was such an achievement. He was an amazing companion that I had the pleasure to live with for such a long time.

She puts his incredible longevity down to the fact that she never had her own children and pampered him like her child.

‘He was a creature of habit, had his favourite places to sleep and liked his food so when that stopped happening, we knew.’

The geriatric cat had no specific health issues but passed away from old age before turning 32.

‘He became very thin. I went to work as usual and when I got home my husband said Rubble had gone over the road as he did every day and never came back, so we believe he went off to die as cats do.’ his mom said.

The oldest cat of all time according to the record books is Creme Puff who was born on August 3, 1967, and lived until August 6, 2005 – an amazing 38 years and three days.
