World's oldest cat dies in her sleep

Tiffany Two will be missed

The world's oldest cat, a calico named Tiffany Two, passed away in her sleep last night at the age of 27. She was curled up next to her owner in bed, atop the special heated pad which her owner had laid out just for her.

Sharron Voorhees of San Francisco bought Tiffany Two for $10 when she was six weeks old. She named her after a cat she had owned many years before, but Tiffany Two quickly established herself as her own cat.

Tiffany Two was certified as the world's oldest cat by the Guinness World Records in 2014. She was dubbed the world's oldest living cat, but was not the oldest cat on the books: that honor goes to a Texas cat named Cream Puff who lived to be 38 years old.
