Colonel Meow's 9-inch hair sets record





LOS ANGELES (AP) — This is fur real. Colonel Meow has 9-inch hair.

That's good enough to put the Himalayan-Persian mix into the 2014 edition of the Guinness World Records book, due out Sept. 12.

Owners Anne Marie Avey and Eric Rosario, of Los Angeles, say the 2-year-old cat got its name because of his epic frown and fur. It takes both of them to brush the cat's fur three times a week.

Three independent veterinarians verified the length of the colonel's hair and submitted their findings to Guinness before he won the title.

In the Egyptian hieroglyphics from nearly 5,000 years ago it was apparent that catblogging held a substantial role in their society.

Otherwise, I could be fooled into thinking that Colonel Meow was King's reincarnation.

I recall giving the flea baths to my male black cat before he disappeared and I would laugh watching his nads dangle from behind.
