Creme Puff

I don't intend on limiting this blog to human medicine, so lets discuss the charachter whos piquied my intrest of late; Creme Puff the cat
You might of heard mention of Creme Puff before, perhaps mentioned on various articles of longest living animals. Creme Puff himself lived to the impressive age of 38 years and three days- quite impressive considering the average cat only manages 13-15 years. But what interests me about Puff is how little information there is about her. Youd think such an esteemed animal would have had more written about her, but all my reaserch has only lead me to the same few regurgetated facts:

1. She lived 38 years and 3 days exactly (3 August 1967-6 August 2005) 

2. Her brother (biological or just a housemate is not specified), named either Grandpa or Grandpa Rex lived to be 34 years ( born 1964 and died 1998) although there is no hard evidence of this. He was also apparently featured in a magazine (awarded 1999 Cat of the Year by Cats and Kittens magazine)

True to her nature, this cat has proved elusive. This is the only photo I can find of her, although since all other deatails of her life are so vaugue im sceptical of its legitimacy. It seems amazing that a cat can live for almost four decades and only one photo of her exists!
