Owner Gail Floyd attributes Scooter’s longevity to staying active. She tells Guinness he keeps busy by travelling and has visited 45 of the 50 states.
Some of his favourite activities include getting blow-dried after baths and snacking on chicken every other day.
Scooter isn’t Guinness’ oldest cat of all time, though. That mark belongs to a fellow Texas cat, which lived to be 38.
