The owner shared a photo of the kitten named Xûr.
The black kitten had been abandoned in the neighbourhood and is around six months old.
Safe and sound
After rescuing him and checking with a vet whether he had a microchip, which he didn't, she decided to take him in as a foster. Since then, Xûr has been living in her bedroom, spending most of his time hidden under the bed. He doesn't quite trust his new owner yet. But she's noticed one thing that gets him out of his hiding spot: playtime!
It was actually whilst playing with Xûr that his human noticed a detail that had escaped her at first... In fact, the young woman hadn't realised just how enormous the kitten's tail was!
Exceptionally long
As the moggy spends most of his time hiding, she hasn't been able to measure the full length of his tail yet. So she took a photo to reveal the black cat's peculiarity. The photo sparked an enormous number of reactions amongst internet users: "That's mad. Mine has a relatively short tail, and I've already stepped on it... I imagine if it were longer. I hope he's not the type to step on it himself?"
The post divided users, with some stunned by the length, whilst others wondered whether the photo had been edited: "I'll need photos from several angles or a video to believe it." It's worth noting that the average cat's tail measures between 9 and 12 inches, but it can vary depending on the breed. What do you think?
