Guinness World Records crowns cat with longest tail at 18.5 inches long

Cat with the longest tail, with his young owners and their Guinness certificate for the longest cat tail.

Cats can vary a lot in shape and size, and their tails are no exception. The average tail is around eight to 12 inches (20–30cm) – but some cats are blessed with much longer appendages.

One cat has just found out that he has the world’s longest tail, so we think he deserves a handful of the best cat treats as a reward. Guinness World Records has crowned Mr Pugsley Addams, a gray Maine Coon from Mound, Minnesota, the cat with the world’s longest tail.
