Best Mouser Featured in a former edition of our Mews-letter, the world’s most prolific mouser was Towser, who worked for the Famous Grouse distillery in Perthshire, Scotland. Towser racked up an impressive 30,000 mice in his 24 years at the distillery, earning him a place in the Guinness Book of Records. The Fastest Breed Why must you never play cards in the Jungle? Because of all the cheetahs!! You may think this is a bad joke, and justly sufficient it is, but it is also true – you in truth shouldn’t sit playing cards, or doing anything else, where you might unexpectedly encounter a cheetah. Not only may even a young cheetah without apparent effort kill a person, but a healthful adult cheetah may run at speeds of up to 70MPH and has better acceleration than a Ferrari so it may out run you too! The cheetah is officially the worlds most immediate land animal! The Smallest Cat Commonly accepted as a celebrity in his own right these days, Mr. Peebles is a tiny 2-year-old domestic cat, from Illinois in the USA. Due to a rare genetic defect the fully-grown Mr. Peebles weighs less than 1.5Kg and stands just 16cm tall, therefore taking the record for the world’s smallest cat! We have been unable to verify reports that Mr Peebles has had a fatal encounter for the duration of a recent photo shoot with the world’s biggest living cat. We tend to think (hope) this must be a hoax, but we would be grateful for hearing from any individual with further info when it comes to the alleged incident. The Most Expensive Cat The most pricey cat ever sold is officially a generation 2 Bengal by the name of Sarez Kato, sold for £25,000 in February 1998. The breeder of Sarez Kato likewise claims to have sold cats for £65,000 but due to client confidentiality refuses to provide any proof. They also have a 90% Asian Leopard Cat/10% Domestic Short Hair, named Zeus, but with price tag of £100,000 Zeus presently remains unsold and so doesn’t qualify. The Heaviest cat The heaviest cat ever officially recorded was Himmy, a tabby born in 1976 in Cairns, Australia. Himmy weighed in at a whopping 21kg and lived to the age of ten. In 2003, a Russian cat owner tried to have her five year old cat Katy recognised as the heaviest cat in the world. Unfortunately for Katy, the Guinness Book of Records are no longer taking submissions in this category, as they don’t wish to give hope or courage to owners to over feed their cats. The Oldest Cat The life expectancy of a feral cat is less than 10 years, domestic cats get enjoyment from an expectancy of 10 to 15 years, but once in a while a noteworthy feline reaches more than double this age. The oldest cat ever recorded was Creme Puff of Austin, Texas. Born on August 3rd, 1967, Creme Puff celebrated her 38th birthday in August 2005. We have been unable to find any conformation of Crème Puff’s current corporeal status. Biggest Litter A litter of kittens is in general numbers amidst 3 and 5, but in August 1870 a four year old Burmese named Tarawood Antigone gave birth to a staggering 19 kittens in Church Westcote, Oxfordshire. 14 males and 1 female survived. Most well traveled Cats have been cited for their capacity to make long journeys to find their old homes, but not a good deal of cats are as well travelled as Hamlet. After escaping from his carrier on a flight from Toronto, Hamlet stayed concealed for 7 weeks, until he was found alive and astoundingly well hiding behind an interior panel. I wonder how a great deal of Air Miles he gets for that?
