A 39-year-old Maine coon named Gilbert had a birthday party on Saturday. The host of the party was his owner, Debbie Marshall. She was given the cat as a gift on her 5th birthday. Marshall’s daughter and grandson were also at the party. Reporters from around the state came to the party as well. Marshall was shocked by the attention she and Gilbert were getting. "I never knew that having an old cat was such a big deal," she said. "My friend said that a 39-year-old cat had to be a record. I did not think it was true!"
Gilbert is the oldest living cat in the world. The next oldest is a 36-year-old Bombay that lives in Mumbai.
