The Maine Coon cat breed is a domestic cat. They are larger than other breeds of cat (this Maine Coon stole the title from another Maine Coon). But they are allowed in the CFA cat shows.I've seen at least 2 articles about this cat, not once did they call him a domestic cat. I kinda have the feeling that a zoo living Bengal Tiger would be the world's largest/longest cat. Semantics I know, but is still bothers me.

Ah, I see. Well I wonder if that's the official designation by the GWR, or if the reporters are simplifying. I don't see the record on their website, so I don't know what GWR officially calls it, but I wouldn't be surprised either way - they simplify things themselves as well.I'll try again. He's not called "The World's Longest Domestic Cat" but "World's Longest Cat." Those are two pretty different things. The tail on a Bengal Tiger would be longer than Stewie.
