The Guinness World Records certified Busakawa cat 'Colonel Nyaa' as the longest-haired cat in the world

In the Guinness World Records , which competes for the best in the world in various genres, there are strange records such as 'the number of layers of T-shirts' and 'the noisiest cat in the world ', but this time, 'the most hair in the world' 'Long cat ' has been certified as a Guinness World Record.

The Guinness World Records for 'Longest Fur on a cat' cat hair averages 9 inches (22.87 cm) per cat and is brushed three times a week. I need to give it. The cat's brushing, named 'Colonel Meow' because of its frowning, is a two-person task that requires frequent vacuuming to make the whole house full of hair.

Colonel Nyaa, a mix of Himalayan cats and Persian cats, was taken over by owners Anne Marie Ave and Eric Rosario, who were protected by Seattle's animal protection group, and now lives in Los Angeles.

Colonel Nyaa, who has become very popular on the Internet, has an

official website and Facebook page , and the videos published on YouTube have been well received and have been played more than 2 million times.

Colonel Nyaa's hair length was measured in the form of 'calculating the average of 10 hairs by each of the three independent veterinarians' and submitted to the Guinness World Records headquarters as evidence.

However, Leslie Lions, a professor of veterinary medicine at the University of Missouri, Columbia , is skeptical of the measurement method, saying, 'The average hair length of Colonel Nyaa is about the same as a normal Persian cat.' It seems that there are many people.

On the other hand, Lions also said, 'It is true that Colonel Nyaa's hair is very long,' and instead of competing on average, he says 'the cat with the longest hair' that measures with the longest hair of the cat. A new category may be created. 'Cat owners are welcome to apply from our website as a new category for 2014,' said Guinness spokeswoman Jamie Panas.

The 2014 Guinness World Records Book will be released on September 12th.

postscript:
In Guinness World Records, the name is Kernel Myau, 'In Japanese, Colonel Nyao', so it may be better to call him Colonel Nyao.
