RENO, Nev. The world’s longest cat measures more than 4 feet, steal the record from another Maine Coon. The Reno Gazette-Journal reported that 5-year-old Stewie was qualified to 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 before 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.
