Waxman Staff Writer Aug 14, 2015 2:11 PM UTC A 26-year-old Oregon cat has reclaimed the title of world’s oldest cat about two months after the feline that beat it out for the title in 2014, [Tiffany Two of San Diego](http://time.com/3742791/worlds-oldest-living-cat-tiffany-two/), died at 27 years old. Corduroy — a Maine Coon that is 26 years and 13 days old, to be exact — has been described as a “lover of sharp cheddar and mice” that roams the 160-acre ranch where its owner Ashley Reed Okura lives. The record for oldest cat ever belongs to Crème Puff of Austin, Texas, a black and white feline that lived 38 years and 3 days. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3997947/worlds-oldest-cat/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3997947/worlds-oldest-cat/"},"headline":"Meet Corduroy, the World's Oldest Cat","datePublished":"2015-08-14T14:11:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:14.377Z","description":"The 26-year-old feline is a \"lover of sharp cheddar and mice\"","url":"https://time.com/3997947/worlds-oldest-cat/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
