However, there is currently one cat that is choosing to defy the laws of nature and you won’t believe just how old he is!

Since news of how old he is has circulated throughout the Internet, Rubble has become an unofficial record holder for oldest cat alive. Before Rubble, the oldest cat to have ever lived was named Creme Puff who died in 2005 at the age of 38-years-old. But there’s something else about this ball of fur that you need to know…
