00:00Hi, my name is Les and this is Millie. She's 30 years old. She could be the oldest cat
00:12in the UK. She's a very affectionate cat. She's never been to the vet. She's got a lovely
00:17appetite and you know the food that I feed her. She only drinks Buxton water, which you
00:24get ice cold in the fridge for her. I bought her a special cake, which she's got a 30.
00:29She can't hear now, but that's probably happened in the last couple of years basically. She's
00:33still got a sense of smell because she can smell things. She's never been to the vets
00:37in the five years that I've looked after her. Apart from that really, I would say she's
00:42in good health. Her teeth seem to be okay. I'm not a vet to testify to that really, but
00:48I say she's fine. For 30 years old, she's fine. I first met Millie in 2012. That's when
00:56I met my late wife. We got engaged, me and my wife, in 2013 and we got married in 2014.
01:04Paula came to live with me in 2014 and I promised her that I'd look after her in the later years,
01:11in the twilight years basically. But I say she's fine. She does her own thing. She gets
01:17fed. She gets watered. She has treats now and then. She's probably the best pet cat
01:23in Stockport. I chase her about sometimes. She had a bit of rheumatism in her leg, but
01:27like I say, take into account she's 30. She's still here. I hope my wife's looking down
01:32on me, knowing I'm looking after her.
01:38Brilliant. A nice baby girl.
