Márcia and Jean sent the Xartrux documentation to the jurors in January. The official measurement will be carried out in the presence of accredited witnesses, including a journalist, a photographer and a judge.

Know the breed

The six-year-old is described as sweet, lazy and sociable. Surprisingly, in the first months of his life he was the smallest of the puppies in his litter. The growth, although expected for the breed, was extraordinary and the cat ended up surpassing its brothers.

Maine Coon cats can easily reach more than 1 meter in length and weigh up to 12 kilograms or more, especially males.

I am “gentle giants“, combining size with an affectionate and sociable character. Their growth is slow and continuous, and can take up to five years to reach maximum size.
