FARMINGTON HILLS, MI - Michigan's two world record cats are missing and feared dead following a house fire.

The fire destroyed the home on the 34000 block of Quaker Valley Lane on the morning of Sunday, November 12, 2017. Will and Lauren Powers made it out safely, but fear Arcturus and Cygnus have died.

Powers says he and his wife lost everything but the clothes on their back. He says all that matters is the cats.

"I awoke to alarms and was already far too late," Powers said. "I tried to save the cats but couldn't find them before I was overcome with smoke."

Powers says there is a small chance the cats are still alive. He says he opened the doors in hopes they ran outside. The couple also has a third cat believed to have died in the fire.

Arcturus is in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the tallest cat who ever lived at 20.1 inches. Cygnus is in the book for having the longest tail of any cat who ever lived at 17.5 inches. The cats had just appeared on the national talk show Pickler and Ben last week.

If you live in the area of 12 mile and Farmington Rd. in Farmington Hills, keep your eyes out for the three cats. They are all very friendly. The Red Cross is helping the couple out. Powers says you can support the family by making a donation to the Ferndale Cat Shelter where Arcturus was an ambassador for.
