Rubble, the pet believed to have been the oldest living cat, has died at the age of 31 about 150 years old in human quantifications!
His owner Michele Heritage of Exeter, England, confirmed the news, telling South West News Service that Rubble died before reaching his milestone 32nd birthday, which would have been in May.
"He was an amazing companion that I had the pleasure to live with for such a long time," said Heritage, 52, who recalled being gifted Rubble as a kitten for her 20th birthday. "He was part of a litter of cats that my sister's friend had and I had just left home. I was lonely living on my own, so I got him in as a kitten."
Heritage credited the fluffy Maine Coon cat's long life to her pet parenting, doting on the animal as if he was her own son.
