Corduroy the cat is one kitty that refuses to age gracefully, choosing to rebel against old age by continuing to jump up on household furniture, play and of course explore the great outdoors. At the age of 26 the half Maine Coon cat should be slowing down, few people even reach his age – he’s 121 in cat years!.
Corduroy met his current owner, Reed Okura, after he was adopted form a shelter in Oregon at just 7-years-old. He remains in good health too, despite being on a low-protein diet to protect his kidneys. Okura believes the key to Corduroy’s longevity has always been to let him go out and play, allowing him to exercise both his mind and body. You can see more of Corduroy on Instagram.
