Missan, 29, may be the world's oldest cat, according to its Swedish owner who says that aside from suffering from some minor back and kidney problems, there is no reason why her furry friend won't make it to the grand age of 30.

Missan the Swedish farm cat is turning 30 this spring and may be the world oldest living cat. By far.

"I read an article about another cat that was supposed to be the world's oldest, and I just thought to myself: 'mine is older!'," Missan's owner Åsa Wickberg, from Karlskoga,  told the TT news agency.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Poppy from Britain was listed as the world's oldest cat last year at the age of 24.

Wickberg said she found Missan as an abandoned kitten in 1985, with the family dog quickly adopting her as one of her own.

"She's a bit of a loner, and has always been a bit shy and a little cautious. But she likes dogs. She takes to them very quickly."

Although Missan's age has somewhat taken its toll on her, with some back and kidney problems, it has been nothing that some cortisone and new eating habits haven't been able to fix.

Wickberg is convinced Missan will make it to the age of 30.

"It feels highly likely," she said.
