Remember the rusty-spotted cat? It is the world’s smallest big cat. Now, there is another spotted cat that is on the opposite end of the spectrum: the world’s tallest living domestic cat.
Meet Fenrir Antares Powers. He is a Savannah cat care and owns by physician Dr. Will Powers of Michigan. Fenrir measures a mind-blowing 47.83 cm (18.83 inches) from his feet to the shoulder blade.
The title of the Tallest Living Domestic Cat was verified by Guinness World Records in Farmington Hills, Michigan, U.S.A., early last year and was recently published in the 2023 Guinness World Records book.
Cat lover Will Powers is no stranger to cat records. His other cat, a Maine Coon named Altair, hold the title of the Longest Tail on a Domestic Cat Living at 16.07 inches (40.83 cm) long in October 2021.
The records also entailed a tragic story. The title of Tallest Living Domestic Cat and Longest Tail on a Domestic Cat Living were previously held by another Savannah cat and a Maine Coon, both of which were Powers’ cats. However, they perished in a house fire in 2017.
