A feline total, statistically estimatedSourced
The distillery cat had a record near 29,000 mice
Towser caught mice at Scotland’s Glenturret distillery from 1963 to 1987. Her Guinness-recognised total was 28,899. That was statistically estimated following observation over several days, rather than a lifetime count of every mouse. A bronze statue commemorated her.
The impressive number comes with a method of counting.
