The Reno Gazette-Journal reports that a five-year-old Maine Coon named Stewie was certified as the new record holder after measuring 123.2cm from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail bone.
A gray tabby Maine Coon named Stewie currently holds the record for being the biggest domestic cat in the world by length. With a full name of Mymains Stewart Gilligan he took up a rather enormous length of 123cm of tape measure.
That is 48.5 inches in length from nose to tail. He was measured on 28th August 2010.
Stewie was bought from a breeder in Hermiston, Oregon in 2005.
The owner Robin Hendrickson only decided to enter Stewie into the Guiness Book of Records after conversations with friends urging her to do so. Ironically, Stewie also held the record for the longest cat tail.
Stewie appears to have been the epitome of Maine Coon affection as “Stewie was always very social and loved meeting new people”
Sadly, Stewie passed away in 2013 of cancer at the very young eight years of age.
