He relishes luxuries, he assists patients in relaxing at the doctor’s office, and currently he holds the designation of being the tallest living house cat worldwide.
Fenrir Antares Powers, a two-year-old Savannah cat, set a record in the Guinness World Records 2023 edition when he measured 18.83 inches on Jan. 29, 2021.
Savannahs gained popularity in the 1990s and were officially recognized as a breed by the registered association in 2001. Savannah cats, like Fenrir, are a cross between domestic cats and large-eared African wild cats, according to the International Cat Association.
According to the website, Powers, a doctor and expert in HIV, is the owner of Fenrir. Powers took in Fenrir when he was only 12 weeks old.
“He simply grew and grew like Clifford the Big Red Dog,” Powers stated in a video regarding the cat.
Fenrir’s family is quite familiar with fame. Four of Powers’ cats have officially achieved Guinness World records.
Well-known felines in the household include:
On this International Cat Day, these extraordinary feline companions who have broken world records are the true stars.
Pebbles, the Toy Fox Terrier, holds the title for the world’s oldest living dog at the age of 22.
The Guinness website states that Savannah cats usually measure 14 inches between them. Fenrir, the latest addition to the family, is a bit taller than the average-size Savannah cat. He may end up taller than Arcturus.
Fenrir, who is affectionately called “Fen,” is a friendly and outgoing individual who loves helping patients stressed and overwhelmed with anxiety at Powers’ office.
In a video, Powers stated that he is additionally famished and his dietary choices have been restricted due to his excessive growth.
And Fenrir’s stature enables him to accomplish tasks that others are unable to do.
He recalled, “The door opened and he stood on his hind legs. Fenrir decided he didn’t want to be in the room anymore, so we had shut out the other cats from the room. We were trying to take some pictures of him when.”
He also grabs things off the countertop if he notices them.
Powers said that as he continues to grow, some individuals confuse the cat with a small panther, a puma, or an ocelot.
Guinness World Records informed Powers that individuals are delighted to approach him – exceedingly amiable and an animal for therapy. He clarifies that after a single interaction, they retreat in terror, but in reality, this can frighten individuals.
The doctor admits that one of them wants to be reincarnated as his dad, and even jokes about it. They’re doted on by him as one of them, and he does everything for his cats because he knows how much they mean to him.
In Detroit, Powers aims to utilize Fenrir’s achievement in order to organize charitable activities and generate funds for stray and shelter cats. This realization highlights the fact that not every cat is fortunate.
Since the fire that claimed the lives of his two feline companions, Powers, who serves as the president of a cat sanctuary and cares for a total of six cats, expressed how much the cats have been a source of support for him.
He expressed, “They enhance the quality of my life. They’ve contributed to my recovery. I suppose they provided me with a motive to overcome that difficult situation.”
