It’s said that cats have 7 lives. Well, Corduroy might’ve had only one, but what a long life it was. He was born on August 1 in 1989 and was first adopted by Ashley Reed as a kitten. Ashley was 7 then. Corduroy’s long-lasting life landed him the Guinness Record for the oldest living cat and it launched him to fame. His popularity grew to the point that when an Instagram account was created for him, he gained 15k followers! Unfortunately, he escaped his house when he was 27.
