A man believes his cat, Millie, is the world's oldest feline, celebrating her 30th birthday with a cake featuring her face.
Leslie Greenhough, 70, from Stockport, credits Millie's long life to daily treats, Buxton water, and plenty of cuddles.
Millie, originally owned by Leslie's late wife, Paula, was born in 1995 and became more of an indoor cat after being bullied by other neighborhood felines.
Despite the loss of Paula in 2020, Millie has continued to thrive, living a life of luxury with a diet of prawn, salmon, and tuna.
Leslie hopes to get her recognized in the Guinness Book of Records, but struggles to prove her age.

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.
