The oldest bodybuilder in the world is Jim Arrington. From the new edition of the Guinness Book of Records

85-year-old Jim Arrington is recognized as the oldest bodybuilder in the world: he has been bodybuilding for the last 70 years.

Signus Regulus Powers(Cygnus Regulus Powers) – Maine Coon from Michigan ( USA) – was recently recognized Guinness Book of Records the cat with the longest tail in the world.

Signus' tail length is 44.66 centimeters. Signus is not the only record holder in the family, as his “half-brother” Arcturus, the height at the withers reaches 48.4 centimeters, holds the record for “tallest living domestic cat in the world.” It is worth noting that both Arcturus and Signus are very young cats and are still growing. This means that Arcturus could become even taller, and Singus' tail will likely become even longer.

Signus lives in the family of Dr. Will Powers, who a year ago was sure that his pet not only had a long tail, but the longest among all the cats in the world. Dr. Powers says that his friends often give Cygnus various nicknames, such as “fluffy broom” or “door blocker,” because the cat likes to sit by the door, and his tail lies between rooms and prevents the door from closing.

When Signus first appeared in the Powers family, there was nothing to indicate that he would become the owner of such a gorgeous tail. In appearance it was the most ordinary Maine Coon kitten. But when the baby began to grow, the tail for some reason began to grow faster than the rest of the body.

Signus is very friendly with another of his “stepbrothers” – a Bengal cat Sirius Altair Powers. They love to lie or sit close to each other.

Dr. Powers is not only a practicing physician, he is also the head of the private Michigan Cat Rescue Society Ferndale cat shelter.

We constantly hold various events at our shelter so that people can get to know the animals better - Dr. Powers says . – These two boys (Cygnus and Arcturus), because of their fame, have already “earned” thousands of dollars for the orphanage“.

A Maine Coon cat from Michigan (USA) was recently recognized by the Guinness Book of Records the cat with the longest tail in the world. Official cat name Signus Regulus Powers(Cygnus Regulus Powers).

"The cat Signus wagged his tail all the way to the Book of Records. He now holds the record for the longest tail of a living domestic cat. The length of his tail is 44.66 centimeters. Signus is a member of a family of record holders, since his “brother” Arcturus is 48, At 4 centimeters, he holds the record for the tallest living domestic cat,” the Guinness book publishers said in a statement.

Cygnus lives with his family in Southfield. His owner, Doctor of Medicine Will Powers, was sure a year ago that his pet not only had a long tail, but the longest among all the cats in the world. He jokes that his friends often gave the cat nicknames like “fluffy broom” or “door blocker”, because the cat liked to sit by the door and its tail would cross the threshold and prevent the door from being closed completely.

When Signus was first brought into this house, no one indicated that he would grow up with such rich coloring; he looked like an ordinary Maine Coon kitten. But when it began to grow, the tail began to grow faster than other organs.

He's very friendly and outgoing," says Dr. Powers. "He'll just come up and drop down so people can pet his belly and paws.

Signus also became friends with another cat in the house, a Bengal Sirius Altair Powers. They love to lie or sit close to each other.

There is also another cat of a rare breed living in the house - Savannah. Arcturus Aldebaran Powers. Signus also gets along with him and Arcturus was previously listed in the Guinness Book as the tallest domestic cat in the world.

The most curious thing is that both Arcturus and Signus are very young cats and each is still growing. Thus, one can become even taller, and the second’s tail can become even longer.

By the way, Dr. Powers is also the head of the private Michigan cat rescue society Ferndale cat shelter.

We constantly hold various events at our shelter so that people can get to know the animals better,” says Dr. Powers. “These two boys (Cygnus and Arcturus), due to their fame, have already “earned” thousands of dollars to help the shelter.
