Ludo the 3-year-old Maine Coon from Wakefield, England is an extraordinary cat.
He was the biggest kitten in his litter according to Kelsey Gill. Before his first Birthday Ludo hit 20½ Lbs. Many who had met him during his kittenhood, couldn't believe he was a kitten and still had a lot of growing to do.
On October 6th 2015, he was measured by the Guinness World Records at 118.33cm (3 ft 10.59 inch) and was crowned to be the World's longest domestic cat.
"He's currently 34 lbs," Kelsey told Love Meow. Ludo has grown bigger since last year, and it's likely that this gentle giant has grown longer in length.

It's no surprise to the family that Ludo has a big heart for his humans. When he was a kitten, he was very protective of his little brother Cameron and was always by his side. The two became inseparable friends.
