Awww, poor Stewie, at 8 he was way too young to die. RIP Stewie, you were loved while you were on earth.

If I had to live in Nevada, I think I’d die too.

We had a huge Maine Coon cat but I never considered measuring him.

Maine Coon they can be huge. Our kids have a couple of them, they’re big, but not as big as that cat. Best thing about the breed, they act like dogs :) They run to greet you at the door, play fetch, shake hands, etc.

I submitted our cat “Smiley” to Guiness as the longest cat. Before I glued some whiskers and a couple of cardboard ears on him, he was an alligator. They almost accepted him, but one of the judges remembered there aren’t any green cats.

Our vet raises Maine Coons and she has several that are official “greeters” and blood donors that live in the office. They are the MOST sweetest and friendly kittehs I have ever known. And they ARE huge! Good thing they have such nice personalities - a mean one could do a lot of damage.
