The world’s oldest cat reached his 31st birthday before he kicked the bucket.

Spike, a ginger and white tom, was first bought for two and sixpence in London’s Brick Lane market in 1970.

The Guinness Book of Records confirmed Spike’s claim to fame after owner Mo Elkington took him to an astonished vet three years ago.

Meet Willow from Shropshire, England. She is a healthy 26-year-old domestic cat and said to be the oldest in the UK.

Willow is still “sharp in her mind and her eyes”, according to owner Lin Brown.

The black cat, who now enjoys curling up by the stove, lived off animals she caught herself until she was 22.
