There ain’t no meowntain high enough for this big cat. Yuliya Minina, from Stary Oskol, Russia, claims her three-year-old Maine Coon cat Kefir is “the largest cat in the world.” She regularly posts content on her Instagram as well as Kefir’s personal TikTok page showcasing his unfurgettable size, the Sun reported.


In one Instagram video posted on Minina’s page last month with over 2,000 likes, Kefir stands on his two hind paws and manages to open a door handle to make his way into the family’s yard.  He later sprawls himself out in the grass like a gargantuan cat-erpillar before taking over half of a reclining chair and climbing a tree.




In another Instagram video posted about a year ago, Kefir stands almost as tall as Minina’s 4-year-old daughter while she prepares food in the kitchen. Kefir is one tall glass of water and aptly named after the cultured milk beverage that resembles his milky-white fur.

While it’s not clear just how big Kefir is today, he made headlines back in 2022 when he was just two years old and already weighed 28 pounds, which is more than the average Maine Coon and the average toddler.

Male Maine Coons typically weigh an average of 18 pounds and females are 12 pounds on average. The cats typically reach around three feet in length, including the tail. “I could not even think that an ordinary baby can become so big,” Minina said. And Kefir could still be growing in size.

A woman is selling a rocking horse she claims can move itself from room to room. The woman, Kelly, says she is the great-granddaughter of renowned spiritual medium Dick Godden. The mum-of-one recalls her great-grandmother telling her stories about returning home to find the 20th century toy, a wooden grey dappled pony, located in a completely different part of the house to where she’d left it. Kelly says she often hears banging upstairs while she is working. Her great-grandfather used to hold séances at his home.

Paris Hilton posted a video of herself on Wednesday labouring to remove the impractical Mschf x Crocs boots she’s been promoting. The 42-year-old shared a behind-the-scenes look on her Instagram and TikTok pages of the hilarious scene. In the clip, Hilton is seen clutching the arms of her chair as she attempts to stay seated while someone sitting on the ground wriggles around trying to pull the huge cartoon-like boot off her foot.

Pyramid scheme

A Pyramid-shaped peak in Antarctica’s Ellsworth Mountain range has been fueling conspiracy theories and videos. Satellite images of the mountain peak in Antarctica first appeared on the internet in 2016. It measures two kilometers square in each direction at its base, a design reminiscent of Egyptian pyramids. Some claimed that it had been built by an ancient civilization 10,000 years ago when Antarctica was warm, while others said that it was the work of aliens. But while it’s true that a naturally-occurring pyramid of that size seems unlikely, geologists would tell you that this is actually just that, a mountain that happens to look like a pyramid.

Screaming his lungs out—literally

A young man from Shenzhen, China, recently suffered a pneumothorax, also known as a ‘collapsed lung’, while screaming loudly during a concert. The 19-year-old was enthusiastically screaming during the band’s performance when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. 

Shipping mishap

A Virgina woman received more than 100 Amazon packages she didn’t order. Cindy Smith said the boxes recently started showing up at her Prince William County home and soon she had received about 1,000 headlamps, 800 glue guns and dozens of binoculars. 

Back to the past

A time capsule buried by an Ohio middle school class while helping to plant a willow tree 26 years ago was recovered by a construction crew enlisted to remove the tree.
