The owner of the world’s tallest cat says the towering feline can open doors and pinch snacks from the kitchen worktop.
Savannah cat Fenrir stands just under 19inches tall, and his owner Will Powers says that he’s still growing.
“We have to actually limit his food now that he's getting bigger because he’s getting too big – he will devour anything,” Will explained.
“Because Fenn is so tall, there's a lot of stuff he can do that other cats simply wouldn't be able to do.
“Earlier when we were trying to take some pictures of him, we had to shut some of the other cats out of the of the room. But Fenrir decided he didn't want to be in the room anymore.”

“So he stood on his hind legs and opened the door. There aren't many cats that could do that.
"Besides that he is a hungry boy – he tends to steal things off the countertop they’re too close to the edge.”
Fenrir holds the Guinness World Record for the tallest living domesticated cat. The Guinness World Record holder for the tallest cat of all time actually belonged to another cat of Will’s – Fenrir’s older brother Arcturus who sadly died in a house fire.

Not content with those two record-breakers, Will also owns the cat with the longest tail.
Altair the Maine Coon has a tail measuring just over 16 inches from base to tip. Again, Will owned the all-time record holder – another Maine Coon named Cygnus.
Cygnus sadly died in the same accident that claimed the life of Will’s other record-breaking cat.
He continued: “It was fairly obvious I'd say from about three to six months on that [Altair] was going to have a really long tail.
“He went to the vet and the vet was looking at me like … ‘what's up with this are you doing it again?’ And I’m like ‘I’m not trying to!’”.
“He talks with his tail a lot more than the other boys do,” Will adds. “It's very very long and I can tell his moods and what he's interested in based on how he positions his tail.
“If he has a question mark tail … he's kind of interested and if he's very excited he'll stand straight up and wiggle it and it'll flash in the air – with this big long tail, he has that ability he’s an interesting fellow.”
