26-year-old cat in US is world's oldest

Corduroy, the world's oldest cat has just celebrated his 26th birthday in the US state of Oregon, the Guinness World Records says.

A 26-year-old cat named Corduroy has been named the oldest living cat by Guinness World Records.

The cat is owned by a family in the Oregon city of Sisters. His owner, Ashley Reed Okura, has had him since he was a kitten and she was seven.

Okura told The Oregonian (http://bit.ly/1JhCCrj ) that Corduroy is still active and in good health, except for some kidney problems.

He still hunts on the family's 65-hectare property.

For his birthday on August 1, Okura bought him a live white mouse and says he enjoyed it "right away".
