I own the world’s largest cat – he’s as tall as my 4-year-old daughter and stands on his back legs to open doors
A PET owner who owns the “world’s largest cat” claims he’s as tall as her four-year-old daughter and can even open doors himself.
Yuli Minina’s took to Instagram to show her followers shocking footage of her Maine Coon standing on his back legs and letting himself into the garden.
The huge cat, named Kefir, was seen leaning on a door with paws as he hit the handle and opened it.
He then stretches his gigantic body out under the sun and trots around the patio area before hopping up onto a sun lounger in a true human style.
Kefir is filmed cheekily rolling around in a vegetable patch before perching himself on a branch, making him look more like a lion than a cat.
The video racked up over 2,200 likes and pet lovers across Instagram were left blown away by his size.
One wrote: “Look at the size of that cat!”
Another said: “Wow, what a good looking kitty! Kefir, you are a walking cotton”.
A third commented: “We want more Kefir videos, this giant cat is so pretty!”
The massive feline even has his own TikTok page where Yuli posts updates on his bizarre growth and clips of him playing around.
In one video, she has documented the journey from when she first bought him in 2020 to now.
Kefir can be seen looking tiny while tucked into Yuli’s neck before she shows him looking a little larger in her lap.
She then shares a snap of the big cat stretched out on a table as he takes up almost half of the available space.
In the next clip, she shows her followers a hilarious picture of Kefir on a pink scooter as he stands on the footrest and holds the handlebars with ease.
In each photo, Kefir grows longer and wider until he is eventually seen taking up an entire desk while relaxing on top.
The enormous feline, who lives with Yulia in Stary Oskol, Russia, became a viral sensation in 2022 as the moggie was set to beat a world record.
Weighing 12.5kg (27.5lbs) at just one year and ten months old, the giant cat was still just considered a kitten.
Yulia explained: “I could not even think that an ordinary baby can become so big.
“He not only grew up big in appearance, he is also very smart and always behaves calmly”.
She also revealed that at night time, Kefir had a habit of climbing onto her which made sleeping increasingly difficult due to his sheer size.
“Maine Coons grow up to 3-4 years. Therefore, I think it should become even larger,” she added.
