The longest cat in the world is taller than a 7-year-old child

A Maine Coone cat (Maine Coone) raised by a couple in Nevada, USA, is 48.5 inches (123.2 cm) long, taller than a 7-year-old child, and has set a Guinness World Records record for the longest domestic cat in the world.

The cat named Stewie, now 5 years old, was measured by Guinness World Records staff at the end of August. Its nose to tailbone measures 123.2 centimeters in total, which is 1.3 centimeters longer than the previous record holder, another Maine Coon cat from Chicago, thus breaking the world record.

Stuy’s owners, the Hendricksons, said: “He loves people, especially children.” They think it’s great that Stuart has become world-famous, and hope that he can make people laugh.

The Hendersons, who recently received Guinness World Records certificates, said they do not need a certificate to let people know they have a special pet. When most people see Stuart, they will say: "Wow! What a long cat."
