30 pound cat!!!!

[Lobodeb]

I took Maggy to PetsMart for their Howl-o-ween party last week. There was a lady there with a cat bigger than my 22 pound Sammy! I couldn't believe it when I saw him. Granted, he was dressed in a cute little costume, so I thought that had a lot to do with how big he looked. But, his meowmie took off his little outfit and there was still a lot of cat there!

I took pictures to share with you all.

Here he is with his lil' costume on.


And when I went to talk with her, she took his costume off and held him up for me. He's so handsome, but is he healthy?

What breed is he? Perhaps that has something to do with his size -- did the owner say he'd always been a big cat? Still -- @ 30 lbs he weighs as much as my two-year-old daughter!

What breed is he?

She said he was half Maine Coon and half tabby. I know Maine Coons are big cats, but not just big, he's fat!

Aww, the images aren't loading for me. Maybe its just my computer but I tried refreshing and, nothing!

While working at my Petco though a man would come in with his purebred Maine Coon and this cat was HUMONGOUS!! I didn't think they got that big!! And he wasn't overweight, just all muscle!!

30 Pounds does not sound healthy at all,even for a Maine Coon.
That puts a lot of pressure on a Cats heart,and leaves him open to diabetes.
I hope that that poor Cat,will be put on a light food,for his own good.

Oh I can't see them...

I can't see him, either .

That seems awfully heavy for a cat, though..........

If anyone wants me to e-mail them the pics, I'd be happy to. Just let me know.

Try right-clicking on the red x and copying & pasting the properties -- that's how I got the photos

No X on my screen.

Try right-clicking on the red x and copying & pasting the properties -- that's how I got the photos

If you're using FireFox then nothing shows up because Firefox uses ALT tags to replace broken or missing images whereas Internet Explorer shows the red x for broken or missing images and shows the ALT text as a tooltip.. silly IE always does things backwards!

That cat is OBESE.

When I was living in Tenerife, there was a cat in my complex that was so fat, his belly was bald from draging on the ground as he walked. He had a collar that said in spanish, english, and german "please do not feed me". He used to howl and scream when he saw someone eating, and try to snatch food away from you. It was crazy.

Okay, I did the copy and pasting of the properties thing...

He is a big cat!!!! Poor thing...
