Ludo the Maine Coon from Wakefield in South Yorkshire measures a whopping 3 ft 10.59 in long and brings this record title back to the UK following a six-year run between two record holders based in the US.

Ludo is one of three Maine Coons in the Gill household and owner Kelsey describes him as a just like any other cat, “relaxed and laid back cat” as well as loving a good sleep – he just happens to be a giant!
