Introducing Rubble, a feline resident of Exeter, England, who is gaining fame as the ‘oldest cat in the world’ after reaching the impressive milestone of 30 years old. Rubble has been a cherished companion to his owner, Michele Foster, since she welcomed him into her home as a young kitten on her 20th birthday in May 1988. Michele attributes Rubble’s remarkable longevity to the love and care she showers upon him, treating him like her own child. Despite his age, Rubble still has plenty of life in him, although he has become a bit grumpy in his old age.
While Rubble may not be aiming to break the record set by Creme Puff, the oldest cat ever documented, Michele is immensely proud of his achievement. She fondly recalls the day they first met, emphasizing the loyalty and companionship that Rubble has provided her throughout the years. As a cat lover who didn’t have children of her own, Michele’s bond with Rubble is truly special.
Given Rubble’s advanced age, he does require regular medication for high blood pressure, which he receives from Shaun Moore of City Vets. Despite this, Rubble is still going strong and enjoying his senior years. On his 30th birthday, he received a special celebration at the vet’s office, complete with treats and medication for the next month as a gift.
As we marvel at Rubble’s impressive journey, let’s send our best wishes for his continued good health and happiness. Take a moment to admire this remarkable feline for yourself, and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below!
