The longest domestic cat living measures 120 cm (3 ft 11.2 in). Barivel from Vigevano in Pavia, Italy, was confirmed as a new record holder in 2018. Barivel is a Maine Coon who, despite his size, is a very quiet and shy cat. He has his own Instagram profile - @barivel_maine_coon - and receives many comments asking about his size. His favourite dishes include fish (especially tuna) and chicken. "He is a very special cat for us because he is a little shy... when people see him they are very shocked, but for us he is a little gift... a big gift!" says owner Edgar Scandurra. Fun fact: In his owners’ local Italian dialect, Barivel means clown or joker.
