This "grande gatto" is the latest inductee to the hallowed hall of Longest domestic cats. In case you were wondering, Himmy was noted to be 96 cm (3 ft 1 in) in length, so would have fallen some way short of the recently announced new holder (below). However, GWR no longer recognizes weight as a measurement for domesticated animals, focusing instead on length and height. For decades, the Largest domestic cat was a tabby called Himmy from Queensland, Australia, who weighed in at 21.3 kg (46 lb 15 oz) when he died in 1986. Historically, GWR focused more on the weight of a cat to determine which was the biggest. The debut holder of the title was a four-year-old cat called Snowbie from Scotland, UK, who was listed as 103 cm (3 ft 4 in). Over the years, Guinness World Records (GWR) has had the honour of meeting a wide variety of fantastic felines from the world's Oldest cat, to the Furriest to the cat with the Longest whiskers… (Here’s a small selection that we celebrated on 2017’s International Cat Day.)īut some of the most memorable moggies ever to have graced the pages of Guinness World Records have to be the Longest and Tallest domestic cats, one of which we’re excited to say has a new holder…Īs with several GWR pet records, categorizing size by length is a relatively "new" way of doing things, with the first documented Longest domestic cat dating to the late 1990s.
