Mymains Stewart Gilligan — affectionately known as Stewie — was an exceptional Maine Coon who was officially confirmed by the World Records Authority as the longest domestic cat ever recorded, measuring an extraordinary 123 cm (48.5 inches) in August 2010. The Maine Coon is already the largest domestic cat breed, known for its long, muscular body and luxurious coat, but Stewie surpassed all known records for feline length. Though he passed away in 2013, his extraordinary legacy lives on as an enduring chapter in the annals of record-breaking history — a gentle giant whose remarkable size captured the hearts of cat lovers worldwide.
