Cats World's Longest Cat! Coming Here!
Posted by Courtney Ferguson on Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 3:29 PM
STEWIE IS COMING TO TOWN!
Stewie's a cat from Reno who just won the record for the world's longest cat. He's a Maine Coon who's over four-feet long. He looks so stretchy. I really want to pet him. Twenty people could pet him at once! Too bad he's not a lady, think of all the kittens he could nurse. He could also have a great career in burlesque as a living feather boa. Also: He's Alison's spirit animal.
See him in a couple weeks at the International Cat Show out by the airport.
