There is a new very furry cat in the
Guinness Book of World Records and her name is Sophie. She is a 2-year-old rescue cat from Oceanside, California and the fur on her tail measures 25.68 centimetres (10.11 inches). That beats out the last holder of the title by over an inch.
Sophie’s mom, Jami, acquired her one day when she was walking her dog and a man in a truck asked her if she wanted the kitten in the paperbag he was holding. She wasn’t sure if there really was one in there, but as soon as she got her hands on the bag she realized there was one inside. She originally intended to bring the kitten into the shelter, but after 30 minutes she was in love. How can you not love that face and long beautiful tail?
As the owner of a long haired kitty, I feel for Jami. I know what it is like to have fur all over the place and my baby’s fur is about half the length of Sophie’s.
