Sad news reached the Guinness World Records offices today, with confirmation that Stewie, the record holder for world’s longest domestic cat, had passed away.
Stewie – full name Mymains Stewart Gilligan – lost his battle with cancer last night.
The eight-year-old from Nevada, US measured an incredible 48.5in when fully stretched out.
His owner Robin Hendrickson, who bought Stewie from a breeder in Hermiston, Oregon, in 2005, decided to enter him for the record after hearing countless friends say they were amazed by his length.
