How Old is the Oldest Cat in the World?
Meet Ludo, a 3-year-old Maine Coon cat that holds the Guinness World Record for the longest domestic cat. This magnificent feline was born on October 28, 2016, and has been making waves with its incredible size and adorable personality.
The Inspiration Behind Ludo's Name
Ludo's owner, Kelsey Gill, was inspired to have a Maine Coon cat after watching Harry Potter movies. She decided to name her kitten Ludo after the wizarding game of chance played by the characters in the movie.
From 13 Weeks Old to Record-Breaker
Kelsey Gill first met Ludo when it was just 13 weeks old. At that time, she had no idea that Ludo would grow into a massive cat. As Ludo grew bigger and stronger, Kelsey realized that it needed special care and attention.
The Benefits of Having a Large Cat
Ludo's large size has its advantages. For one, it makes it easier for Kelsey to find him around the house. She often jokes about using an "operator" (a.k.a. her husband) to help her locate Ludo when he hides under the bed or behind a curtain.

An Unlikely Baby-Sitter
Ludo's owner has shared stories about how this gentle giant takes care of her children. As a matter of fact, Ludo has even been known to keep watch over her kids while they sleep, much like a loving guardian angel.
A Special Bond between Cameron and Ludo
