The Worlds Heaviest Cat is Australian

The World's Heaviest Cat

The World's heaviest cat on record is Himmy who lived in Cairns, Queensland. Himmy weighed in at a staggering 21.3kg. Himmy is a de-sexed domestic short hair cat and died at the age of 10 from respiratory failure.

As of February 2003, there is a new contender for the world's heaviest cat. Five year old Katy, who lives in Russia reportedly weighs 20kg. Katy's owners had hoped to have her recognized as the world's heaviest cat with the Guinness Book of Records however they are no longer accepting nominations in this category as they don't want to encourage pet owners to overfeed their animals.
