Maine coons are among the largest domesticated breeds of felines.
The “long cat” got into the Guinness Book of records in 2010 became a 5-year-old Maine Coon named Stewie, whose length from tip of nose to tip of tail was 123 cm.
In addition, these furry giants can weigh up to 16 pounds! The history of this breed is shrouded in mystery, though, and goes a common but genetically impossible myth that Maine coons are the result of interbreeding between cats and raccoons.
