Totally curious here as I have no clue, but it is not even remotely
plausible?

Whenever you hear an absolute like this, it's generally not true. I've
heard
of cats reaching 30. No, I don't have documentation.

Know any humans 250 years old?

I was thinking you might be.


That makes no sense at all. Was that an attempt at the 5 year old's
"No i'm not you are" argument?

A quick Google on 'Guinness oldest cat' turns up several who have. The
oldest one I saw was 34.

That's right, it's not true that no cats live past 30. Every once in a
while Cat Fancy has a contest on oldest cats, and runs pictures and
stories of the oldest ones. Several of the cats have been more than 30
years old.

I've personally known some people who had cats that lived into their
mid and late 20s, so I see no reason a few cats can't make it into
their 30s.

The 34 year old cat in the Guinness Book of Records was well
documented and much publicized.
