Pussywillow lives in Ratlinghope and is still "sharp in her mind and her eyes", according to owner Lin Brown.
The black cat, who now enjoys curling up by the stove, lived off animals she caught herself until she was 22, Ms Brown said.
Healthy cats can normally live to about 18, with previous world record holders only reaching their early 20s.
Pussywillow was near-feral when she was first taken in by the family. The family only started feeding the elderly feline after she survived an attack by a fox four years ago.
"Because of her wildness when she came she was pretty much an outdoor cat and had an organic diet and I hardly fed her anything," Ms Brown said.
