“Meet Barivel! A Maine Coon from the Italian town of Vigevano.

Name: Barivel.

Year of birth: 2016.

Country: Italy.

Breed: Maine Coon.

Status: the longest domestic cat on planet Earth!

Length: 120 centimeters (3 feet 11.2 inches).

Leaving this beautiful cat at home means you don’t have to lock the door or fear burglars. Indeed, it doesn’t look like a cat, but like a living milestone with ears and a tail.”

On May 22, 2018, he was officially entered into the Guinness World Records as the longest domestic cat.

This barrel-sized cat measures 120 centimeters long!

Even among large Maine Coons, he looks too big.

Barivel’s owners, Cinzia Tinnirello and Edgar Scandurra, thought this kitten would become a giant.

But they probably didn’t expect that this little guy would make them famous.

Barivel himself isn’t too thrilled about all this attention on him. He’s modest.

He’s more into the usual cat stuff: daydreaming about high-level cat stuff.

Knees in the sink (you can also do this with a companion).

Begging for food. And he’s quite good at it – given his size!

Interfering with his owners’ work, even to the point of sprawling out and covering the entire laptop screen.

Climbing onto a shelf and pushing everything off it.

…and feeling like a king. According to the owners, Barivel makes himself out to be a very important person.

Barivel also enjoys taking walks in the stroller. Yes, he’s a very lazy kitty.

He surprises all passersby with that!

“Hey man! Do you have biscuits, chicken, fish?”

The nickname of this cat, according to its owner, means “clown” or “joker”. And this nickname suits him perfectly.

“Chef, touch it! I’m going to fight ten Dobermans. The little one will stand next to me.”

And here’s a video dedicated to Barivel, the world’s longest domestic cat.
