Quebec vet association unveils names of oldest dog and cat in the province
MONTREAL — At 21 years old, Hortense the cat has far outlived her prescribed nine lives.
The spry Scottish Fold was awarded the title of Quebec’s oldest cat on Friday by the veterinarian association that tends to small animals.
The title of oldest dog went to Cachou, a 17-year-old Yorkshire terrier who dozed through the Montreal ceremony in a tiny tuxedo.
Veterinary association president Valerie Trudel said the winners may not be the oldest cat and dog in the province, but they were the oldest they could find with continuous vet records.
