‘My Benjamin Button cat is almost 100 – vets can’t believe how healthy he is’
A woman has left social media users in shock after revealing that her pet cat is almost 100-years-old.
Emerson Ansley and her family have dubbed the feline “Benjamin Button” as he doesn’t seem to age.
The 23-year-old says Jared, previously named Chauncey, has outlived three dogs, many fish, a couple of hamsters and a bunny over the years.

She shows custom made stairs to help him up onto the kitchen counter, before revealing her furry pal.
