This gorgeous Maine Coon from Detroit, Michigan is turning one year this Sunday, weighting in 15 lbs. His tail has always been long and just keeps growing longer and fluffier.
“His tail is currently about 18.4 inches long (if you count fluff it’s like 24) measured from the tail base to the end of actual skin” said Dr. Will Powers, a family physician in Michigan.
Cygnus is a very healthy fluffy kitty, and at his age, he still has more growing to do.
“He’s well over the world record now of 16.3 and showing no signs of stopping. The tail grows by about half an inch every month or so. It’s starting to look almost weird on him.”
“He’s exceeding friendly, and almost like a Ragdoll when picked up. He just flops and lets me do anything him like touch his belly or paws,” Dr. Powers shared.
“Cygnus is only 41 inches from nose to tail tip, so he is nowhere near as large of a cat.”
“He goes insane for the laser or other toys, always extremely high energy when not sleeping.”
“People call him ‘Featherduster’ or ‘Door draft blocker’ as the thing is so long and fluffy.”
Tail comparison! Cygnus vs. his buddy Sirius, a rescue Bengal.
Cygnus and his two brothers. The adore each other.
“Most of the time when he’s holding the tail upright. it curls around at the tip and looks like a fluffy question mark.”
Cygnus loves his humans and helps dust off things on a daily basis without even trying.
“He’s seriously such a docile and loving boy.”
