Cat World Records!
Most expensive cat
A Californian Spangled Cat was bought for $24,000 (£15,925) in January
1987 and was the display cat from the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book of
1986.
Longest Cat
If Frieda Ireland’s pet cat Leo were a human being he would weigh about
100 kg (220 lb) and stretch over 2.5 m (8 feet) tall. As it is, the
mammoth moggie is as long as an 8-year-old child and has paws so big
they can fit into a size 2 child’s shoe!
Verismo’s Leonetti Reserve Red – otherwise known as Leo – is a Maine Coon cat owned by Frieda Ireland and Carroll Damron of Chicago. Normally a large breed, Maine Coons often weigh as much as 10 kg (22 lb), but Leo weighs in at a mog-nificent 15.8 kg (35 lb) and measures a record-breaking 121.9 cm (48 in) from nose to tail.
Cat With The Most Toes
The world record for the cat with most toes belongs to Jake who has 28
toes, with 7 on each paw. Jake lives in Bonfield, Ontario, Canada with
his owners, Michelle and Paul Contant (Canada).
Longest cat whiskers
The record for the longest whisker on a cat measured 19 cm (7.5 in) and
belongs to Missi, a Maine coon who lives with her owner, Kaija Kyllönen.
The whiskers were measured in Finland on December 22, 2005
Largest Collection of Cat Memorabilia
Since 1979, Florence Groff of France has amassed a record-breaking
collection of 11,717 cat-related items. Among the collection are 2,118
different cat figurines (48 of which are fridge magnets), 86 decorative
