MEET Harry, the Hampshire cat soon to turn 22, who has built up quite a following on Instagram.

He's the tabby with 17.7k followers online, who will be celebrating his 22nd birthday on April 20, but his owner Sue Lawrence wants to know whether he is the oldest feline in the county.

Sue has owned Harry since he was a five-week-old kitten, originally growing up in London, the pair moved to Hampshire where the moggy developed a following online.

Sue said: "When he was younger he was an outdoor cat who got up to all sorts of mischief."

She added: "He would bring little ‘presents’ home for us, such as mice and frogs."

She continued: "Since moving to Hampshire he became an indoor cat and I began walking him on a lead, he’s very chilled now and prefers to watch the birds and enjoy listening to them rather than chasing them."

Now that Harry is nearing his 22nd birthday, Sue is curious as to whether her furry friend may indeed be the oldest cat in Hampshire, and is on the lookout to find other cats who have reached milestone birthdays.
