What’s it take for a cat to grow so long it’s in contention for a Guinness World Record? Good genes, a good home, and lots of raw kangaroo meat, apparently.

“It’s the only meat we could find that he actually wants to eat,” Stephy Hirst tells theBBC. The Australian woman is the owner of a 3-foot-11-inch-long Maine Coon named Omar.

The Melbourne resident created an Instagram account for Omar a few weeks ago, and one of his photos was shared 270,000 times on Cats of Instagram.

Then Guinness came calling. Now, Hirst is waiting to hear if she’s officially the owner of the world’s longest cat, beating the record from another Maine Coon that measures 3 feet 10.5 inches.
