Arcturus holds the Guinness World Record for being the tallest domestic cat, measuring at about 19 inches (48 centimeters). Cygnus is the domestic cat with the world’s longest tail, measuring at more than 17 inches (43 centimeters).
"We confirmed today that Cygnus and Arcturus remained hidden in our home and succumbed to smoke inhalation," Powers posted to Facebook.
The couple's other two cats, Yuki and Sirius, are still missing, and Powers noted "there is a significant reason to believe they are both alive."
