Is Lucy, 39, the oldest cat in the world?

She may be deaf and a bit stiff in the morning but when you consider Lucy the moggy has just turned 39, it’s understandable.

At 172 in human years, the tabby, who lives with Bill Thomas, 63, in Llanelli, South Wales, could well be the world’s oldest cat.

‘She’s gone deaf but apart from that she’s in good shape,’ he said. ‘She still looks for mice every day.’

He continued: 'We have researched Lucy's past and found she was born in Thomas Street, Llanelli in 1972.

'We have spoken to other people who can verify seeing her in the fish and chip shop in the early seventies.

'She appears to be the genuine article.'

A spokesman for Guinness World Records said there was no entry for the world's oldest cat.
