Animals Power presents:
Is Xartrux the largest cat in the world?
The application is mandatory because verification by the Guinness of Records is pending.
But its breeders - Márcia Oliveira and Jean Martins - say they are certain of its primacy.
The cat, a six-year-old Maine Coon, according to their measurements would be 130 centimeters long and weigh more than 10 kilograms.
Basically the size of a cheetah
"He was born at home and was the smallest kitten in the litter, he didn't even weigh 80 grams - says Márcia Oliveira.
He was very small, we thought he wouldn't develop, but, little by little, he surpassed his brothers.
I didn't imagine it would become that size.
At four months old he was already a larger than normal cat and excelled in competitions."
As mentioned, the owners have now requested Guinness of Records to proceed with the certification.
It should take place between April and next May in the presence of a journalist, a photographer and a judge, to sign the declaration of the animal's size.
If the measure is confirmed, Xartrux would not only snatch the title of "world's longest living domestic cat"
- Currently registered to Barivel with 120 centimeters, a Maine Coon born in Vigevano (Pavia) - ,
but it would also surpass the longest one ever belonging to Stevie, obviously also a Maine Coon,
who had set the record of 123 centimeters in 2010 (but he died in 2013 at the age of 8).
Xartrux is not only exceptional for its size, but also for its character: "It has all the standards of the Maine Coon breed, size, docility, it is a sweet, dear, sociable, good-natured, lazy cat, it does what it wants with we!".
Despite their size and appearance, they are affectionately called 'gentle giants', because they are docile.
Will he succeed in becoming the largest cat in the world?
We'll see, Thanks from Animals Power
