Corduroy (August 1, 1989 - c. November 2016) was a male domestic cat that held the record as the world's oldest living cat until May 2016.[1] He was also the oldest cat in 2014, aged 25 years old at the time, until being replaced by Tiffany Two. In August 2015, Corduroy regained the title.[2]
On May 10, 2016, Corduroy was replaced by a 30-year-old Siamese cat named Scooter (born March 26, 1986).[3] However, Scooter died less than a week after being named the record-holder,[4] possibly making Corduroy the holder of oldest living cat once again.
