This cat might get stuck trying to get through the regular front door

Big one, isn't he? Snopes says it's real. http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/bigcat2.asp

turn this thing around!

We're caught in a retractable claw and it's pulling us in!

Did you notice that his mom is wearing workout clothes? Who needs barbells?

I love cats and I've never, ever, seen anything like that.

I'll bet when he shows displeasure people pay attention. No teasing that guy!

What a gorgeous cat!

times 10 !

I wish he were mine. I'd snuggle up with him -- he'd definitely keep me warm. :loveya:

(I know I've posted this before but what the heck). They named him "Wurst" and their toddler rode him around the living room. I swear it.

it was all I could do to hold him in both arms as she is doing. They are so large and so beautiful.

simply stunning.

taken several years ago. We were both going through a hefty phase, which I am currently repeating (D'OH!). The cat weighed 26 pounds. And no, you cannot know how much I weigh(ed). PTHTHTHT!

was a baby gorilla. That cat is (was?) huge and has very unusual looking fur!

I was living with my mother when these pictures were taken and I believe she still sees him from time to time. Around the time of these pictures, Shadow had disappeared for several weeks and I had assumed he was dead. When he showed up at the sliding glass door asking for handouts, I was relieved. To get some perspective on size, I was rather hefty in this picture and I'm about 5' 8" tall. Of course, the cat has long hair, but STILL! He is huge. I tended to refer to him as the "massive black kitty."

His fur was usually matted and had burrs in it because he was an outdoor cat (dangerous for the cat and local wildlife, both). At one point, he was offered to me because the neighbors were moving. I decided not to take him because I have a parrot. I didn't want to contribute to the outdoor kitty problem, but after he had been used to so much freedom, I also didn't feel comfortable confining him. Some other neighbors took over the chore of feeding him. :) Several neighbors feed him. You can tell, huh?

He wasn't long or tall, just very stocky. He could move with surprising speed, too, I saw him nearly bag a squirrel once. He did slim down to 24 lb.

I love big kitties!

This guy was named Josh and he got much, MUCH bigger.

If I ever get a kitty, I would like a Maine Coon, as well. I'm sure they make better pets than actual coons. I raised three baby raccoons and let me tell you, they were NOT meant to be pets. They were entertaining as hell, but played rough and could get nasty.
