Tiffany Two, the Ocean Beach feline who held the Guinness World Record as the Worlds Oldest Living Cat, passed away at the age of 27. The petite black and orange tortoiseshell kitty died in her sleep on May 22 in her favorite spot in bed next to her owner, Sharron Voorhees.
Thats where she slept, and thats where she passed, said Voorhees, a retired lawyer in her 70s. I was so grateful that she did it perfectly right until the end.
Tiffany Two whose name was a tribute to Tiffany, a cat that Voorhees had in the 1970s won her Guinness honors in February, just one month before her 27th birthday. Much hoopla followed, as Voorhees and her cat companion had their time in the media spotlight. Voorhees thought the experience was a hoot. Tiffany Two took it all in stride.
She was ho-hum about it, said Voorhees, an animal lover who currently shares her home with two dogs and two cats. I held her, and she was happy.

What’s (not) new, Pussycat?
I hope my little barn cat lives as long.
Bump
27 years. Amazing.They calculated that her total time awake in those 27 years was 48 hours.
Nine times.
That pussy was gettin old anyway....
Rest in Peace....
I saw this one. It’s always sad when a pet passes away, but 27 is a good, long, life. My own cat is coming up on 16. It’s probably selfish of me to wish for him to make it to 27, but I hope he hangs out with me for a least a few more years.
Think I’ll go brush him and break out some catnip right now, in fact...
I think Sammy Davis, Jr. was a much older cat when he passed.
Some idiot opened the box to check on Schrödinger’s Cat?
She had some good lives. Purr in peace.
My cat turned 20 last month. He is in pretty good shape. He has become emotionally needy and a bit confused, but it doesn’t bother me. He’s always been a good cat.
LOL
My pack too.
*snort*
I have a 25 year old cat. Still going strong.
I love calicos, but the one I had was a real bitch............
8 more lives?
