Thanks everyone for your opinion!

Even I doubted those measurements from yesterday. I took a new pic today using measuring tape as a reference and came up with 26.22 for Sly. Not sure why I got a different measurement today, but I guess it's close enough. So yeah, Sly's still a big boy

The downside is that he's also an older gent. I'm 99% sure he'll be 8 years old in a month or so. He could have been over a year when we found him in March of 2002, but he was definitely not a neonate. Don't know what I'm going to do when he passes
