Guinness World’s Longest Cat Stewie May Teach Animal Welfare (Video)
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 22nd, 2010 in Animal Issues, Offbeat, Videos.
Stewie, a 5-year old Maine Coone, has just made it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the World’s Longest Cat. At 48 1/2 inches, Stewie is just a tad over 4 feet, making him as tall as your average 10 year old boy and long enough to ride the exciting rides at the carnival.
Stewie’s owner, Robin Hendrickson of Reno, Nevada, says Stewie’s fame and presence make him the perfect candidate to teach children and others about caring for animals. For some children, it will at least scare them into being nice to kitties.
“He really likes people, especially kids. We hope that maybe Stewie can visit classrooms to help awareness of animal welfare,” Hendrickson said. “We also would hope that he continues to be the great guy he is. But it wouldn’t hurt to see his picture on a bag of cat food. Or maybe sponsorships to cat shows. I think it would be great if Stewie was known worldwide. Mostly though, I hope he makes people smile.”
