A Maine Coon cat named Cygnus Regulus Powers from Southfield, Michigan has recently been awarded the Guinness World Records’ title for having the longest tail among all cats worldwide.

One year ago, we had the delightful opportunity to meet Cygnus, an exquisite Maine Coon with an incredibly lengthy and fluffy tail. Dr. Will Powers, a caring family doctor, Cygnus’ doting owner, shared with Love Meow that they had reason to believe that Cygnus had the longest tail in the world at the time, surpassing the prior record of 16.3 inches. Due to his magnificent tail, people affectionately refer to him as “Featherduster” or “Door draft blocker.” We have included a charming image of Cygnus as a kitten when he was first brought home.

In a jiffy, the charming feline caught the attention of Guinness World Records, leading them to conduct a precise evaluation to verify its popularity. Can you believe it? Cygnus has recently celebrated its second birthday!

I recently stumbled upon an interesting tidbit about Cygnus, shared by Dr. Will Powers from @starcats_detroit. It seems that Cygnus has a habit of dangling his paws over the edge, which is quite amusing to watch. However, this is not what caught the attention of Guinness World Records. They were more interested in Cygnus’ extraordinary tail and reached out to Powers for an official measurement. To everyone’s surprise, Cygnus broke the record with a tail length of 17.58 inches or 44.66cm. It’s incredible to see such a feat achieved by a feline!

In Ferndale, Michigan, the grand Cygnus was officially measured. This magnificent creature is renowned for his flamboyant and stunning tail, which perfectly complements his larger-than-life personality. Dr. Powers, who conducted the measurement, shared that Cygnus is an exceptionally friendly feline with a Ragdoll-like demeanor when picked up. He happily allows his belly and paws to be touched without any resistance.

Meet Cygnus, the stunning feline with a striking tail and size that captured the hearts of many, as introduced by Dr. Will Powers from @starcats_detroit. This gigantic cat may be impressive, but he has a gentle and loving disposition. Dr. Powers shared the cutest snapshot of Cygnus snuggling with Sirius Altair Powers, a rescued Bengal cat.

Spending a lazy Saturday afternoon with your closest friends, while binge-watching TV, is such a wonderful experience! @starcats_detroit’s Dr. Will Powers has perfectly captured this moment filled with warmth and camaraderie. It’s heartwarming to see their furry companion wagging its tail, adding more cuteness to the relaxed atmosphere.

The folks from Guinness World Records paid a visit to Dr. Will Powers at @starcats_detroit and were taken aback when they met his other furry companions. One feline friend, Arcturus Aldebaran Powers, stood out the most – this Savannah Cat was humongous! In fact, Arcturus Aldebaran Powers made history as the tallest cat known to man.

According to a post by Dr. Will Powers from @starcats_detroit, the world’s tallest cat, Arcturus, recently underwent an official measurement in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The results were amazing, as Arcturus stood at an impressive height of 19.05 inches (48.4cm), making him the new record holder. The measurements were taken by Caitlin Szurek, DVM of Animal Kingdom Veterinary Clinic in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is interesting to note that all cats who break the record are around one year old and are still growing, constantly setting new records. These cats currently hold both the ‘Ever’ and ‘Living’ records.

Meet @starcats_detroit, aka Dr. Will Powers – a renowned personality in the world of cat rescue and welfare. He leads the Ferndale cat shelter in Michigan with utmost dedication to provide a secure environment to these adorable furry friends.

Our shelter often hosts events where visitors can spend some quality time with our feline residents. These two amazing individuals have greatly contributed to our cause by raising a significant sum of money through their hard work and efforts.

Dr. Will Powers, who runs @starcats_detroit, reports that Arcturus and Cygnus are continuing to grow. Arcturus now stands at 20 inches tall, while Cygnus’ tail has almost reached 19 inches. Looks like my kitty’s fluff is outgrowing even the largest cat furniture available!

@starcats_detroit, or more commonly known as Dr. Will Powers, recently shared a pleasant and heartwarming moment on his social media profile. He uploaded a photo of three brothers enjoying dinner together, basking in each other’s company and relishing the food on their plates. The scene was incredibly uplifting and brought joy to all those who laid eyes on it. Take a look for yourself on Instagram!
