RENO, Nev. –
The world's longest cat measures more than 4 feet, stealing the
record from another Maine Coon. The Reno Gazette-Journal reported
that 5-year-old Stewie was certified as the new Guinness World
Record holder after measuring 48 1/2 inches from the tip of his
nose to the tip of his tail bone. That's a little more than 4 feet
long.
The record was previously held by another Maine Coon that
measured 48 inches.
Stewie's owners, Robin Hendrickson and Erik Brandsness, say they
decided to try for the record after hearing countless people say
they were amazed by Stewie's length.
Hendrickson said Maine Coons are known as "the gentle giants" of
the cat world.
