英國39歲世界最老貓 相當於人172歲

Cat Lucy is thought to be the oldest in the world after its 39th birthday. She is now living in South Wales, UK.

年滿39歲貓咪露西有望獲得“世界上最年長貓”這一稱號。如今它居住在英國的南威爾士。

Compared with an average cat that could only live for 15 years, Lucy has more than doubled her life expectancy - she was born in 1972 and has clocked up the equivalent of 172 human years, according to cat experts. And some people say they can verify seeing her in the fish and chip shop in the early seventies.

與那些壽命僅有15年的普通貓咪相比，露西的生命似乎延長了1倍——她出生於1972年，據貓科專家稱，她如今的年齡相當於人類的172歲。甚至還有人證實稱，早在上世紀70年代初期就可見到露西在魚店和薯條店進進出出。

Now although deaf, Lucy catches mice in the garden, still in good shape and extremely independent.

如今雖然耳朵有些聾，露西還能在花園捉老鼠，而且身材保持的不錯，個性也很獨立。

Until now the world's oldest recorded cat was a pet called Puff from Texas, USA, which lived for 38 years and three days. However, a spokesman for Guinness World Records said there was no entry for the world's oldest cat.

此前，世界上最年長的貓是一隻生活在美國得克薩斯州、名叫普夫的貓，活了38歲零3天。但據吉尼斯世界紀錄委員會發言人說，目前還沒有“世界上最年長貓”的條目。
