Rosie's mum was a grey rag doll - which gives Rosie her "bushy squirrel tail" - and her dad is believed to have been a ginger tom.

A spokeswoman from Guinness World Records, which lists world records both of human achievements and the extremes of the natural world, said: "We would encourage Lila to make an application for Rosie via the Guinness World Records website for our Records Management Team to review."
