this has got to be the cat for You!
with a tail this big who needs a duster? meet Cygnus Regulus Powers, who was recently featured in the 2018 Guinness Book of Records for having the “longest tail on a domestic cat”, the
official measurement put his tail at 44.66 cm (17.58 inches) from
the base of his butt to the end of the “meat” of his tail, but it must have
been done a while ago, because in June of last year, his owner Will Powers told
Love Meow that Cygnus’ tail already measured 18.4 inches (24 inches, if you
count the fluff),
and considering that the Maine Coon was only about a year old at the time, his tail must be considerably longer now,
“It’s well over the world record now of 16.3 and showing no
signs of stopping,” Will Powers told Love Meow, “The tail grows by about half
an inch every month or so, it’s starting to look almost weird on him, people
call him ‘featherduster’ or ‘Door draft blocker’ as the thing is so long and
fluffy.”
interestingly, Cygnus’ brother, Arcturus, also bagged a Guinness record this year, for the “world’s tallest domestic cat”,
the F2 Savannah reaches a stature of 48.4 cm (19.05 in) and
weighs about 30 pounds, and the good news is that the two record breakers get
along fine.
