TALLEST LIVING DOMESTIC CAT

ANTARES POWERS (47.83 cm)

The tallest living domestic cat is Fenrir Antares Powers (USA), who measures 47.83 cm (18.83 in), as verified in Farmington Hills, Michigan, USA, on 29 January 2021. (The height is taken from the base of the front paws to the top of the withers – the ridge that runs between the shoulder blades).
