Granpa Breaks "Oldest Cat" World Record   
It’s official. In mid-August, the Guinness Book of World Records confirmed that
Granpa, who appeared in the March 1997 Cat Fancy centerfold, was the world's
longest-living cat. Granpa, who died on April 1, 1998, lived to be 34 years,
two months and four hours. The previous record was 34 years and one day and had
been set in 1957 by a tabby from England.
