A fine looking feline was awarded a Guinness World Record for having the longest tail.
The silver Maine Coon from Minnesota sports a tail measuring 18.5 inches (46.99 cm)— beating out all living domestic cats—and easily surpassing the previous record-holder that measured 16.07 inches.
The two-year-old named Mr. Pugsley Addams, after the Addams Family character, has always had a long tail, according to his owner, Amanda Cameron.
She recalls it being mentioned during his very first visit to the veterinarian, but didn’t think much of it until it became the focus of his next appointment six months later.
After telling her internet-savvy kids about it, their immediate response was to research the current world title holder.
“And what do you know, to our shock, Pugsley beat it!”
Known in the family as a curious, adventure-seeker, Pugsley has also earned a reputation for getting into things.

“He is very creative when it comes to new ways he can be mischievous. And yet, he is kind and caring and loves his momma.”
Pugsley has two sisters, Winnie and Dutchess, and a brother, aptly named after the beloved Addams Family patriarch, Gomez—and just like the character, that cat wants nothing more than to cuddle; he’s “violently affectionate and romantic.”
The family is convinced Pugsley is aware of his unique tail because of its expressiveness and the fact that it’s always getting in the way.
Now a local celebrity, aside from his purr-fect tail it is impossible not to love him for his calm demeanor. “He’s just a great little guy to be around.”
The family is already dreaming of more potential titles for this accomplished coon, as Guinness World Records celebrates its 70th anniversary this year.
