He’s looking at you: Colonel Meow – a Himalayan-Persian cross-breed who lives with his owners Anne Marie Avey and Eric Rosario in Los Angeles, California – is the cat with the longest fur in the world
Recognised: The two-year-old feline, whose hair reaches an astonishing 9in, is being recognised in the new Guinness World Records 2014 book out on September 12
Big effort: Colonel Meow, who was adopted as a rescue cat, needs his fur brushed up to three times a week – and it takes both Ms Avey and Mr Rosario to complete the job
Glaring stare: The couple said that they never use products on Colonel Meow’s fur – applying only water and brushes if he gets dirty
