A man claims to have the world’s oldest cat aged 29 and puts her long life down to 'lots of treats'.

Leslie Greenhough, 69, believes his tortoiseshell moggy, Millie, who was born in 1995, is currently the oldest living feline.

The moggy was first owned by Leslie's late wife, Paula, 55, who first got Millie in 1995 - when the kitten was three months old.

Leslie and Paula met October 10, 2012, through a dating website, and was first introduced to Millie the cat when she was 16.

Leslie claims Millie has never visited the vet, and eats a mixed diet of chicken and Purina cat food.

00:00 Hi, my name's Les. I believe to have the oldest cat in the UK, maybe in the world.
00:08 She's 29 and 3 months. It's me late wife's cat, which I've been looking after for 4 years now.
00:14 She's sadly my wife passed away. She doesn't play a lot these days, simple reason is she's 29 years old.
00:21 But I say she got a quiet life, it was a quite peaceful life.
00:24 She's got a good appetite. I put her appetite down to red salmon, skin of salmon from Marks and Spencer's.
00:32 Tuna in water. She has chicken, she'll have a Chinese. She likes ham, she likes cheese.
00:39 Very rare that she eats cat food, but she does now. I say she's getting older now, which is a bit more softer on the teeth basically really.
00:49 It would be nice on behalf of my wife to get Millie registered with the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest living cat in the UK, possibly the world.
00:59 If I can achieve that, then that would be absolutely fantastic.
