VIDEO: World's hairiest cat

Meet Colonel Meow, who has just been awarded the prestigious title of 'World's Hairiest Cat' by Guinness World Records.

The two-year-old Himalayan-Persian cross-breed was adopted as a rescue cat. He has fur as long as 22.87cm, which needs to brushed two to three times a week by his owners Anne and Eric. 

His world record aside, Colonel Meow is something of a social media celeb - he's got nearly 180 000 'likes' on his Facebook page. 

He is cute alright, but that said - can you imagine the state of his owners' house?

Hair EVERYWHERE! That's my worst, going to someone's house and leaving covered in hair, even in your mouth and nose.

I think there is a gap in the market for sticky tape clothes....
