recognised as the world's oldest after reaching the age of 24 - equivalent to 114 in human years - has died, just weeks after claiming the title.
Poppy, from Bournemouth, was officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the oldest living cat, last month.
Owner Jacqui West admitted the family was 'devastated' after Poppy died last Friday, 'metro.Co.Uk' reported.
"We knew she was old but it's still very upsetting. She had a bad week last week," West said.
Poppy was on antibiotics because of a water infection and passed away on Friday afternoon.
