Now that's what you call a fur coat! Colonel Meow sets world record for cat with longest hair

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2403574/Colonel-Meow-sets-world-record-cat-longest-fur.html

Colonel Meow - a Himalayan-Persian cross-breed who lives with his owners Anne Marie Avey and Eric Rosario in Los Angeles, California - is officially the cat with the longest fur in the world.

The two-year-old feline, whose hair reaches an astonishing 9in (23cm), is now being recognised in the new Guinness World Records 2014 book out next month.

Colonel Meow has become an internet sensation with the launch of his own website, Facebook page and YouTube channel - which has already been viewed more than 2million times.

I wouldn't want the job of brushing him every day, though. My shorthaired girl is chore enough.

Beautiful cat though. I love that face!
