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.

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!

Thank you! That worked for me. I don't think it's healthy for a kitty to be that round. My Mom has a kitty who is pretty close to 30 pounds. It's sad to see him that way. She and the vet have had him on several diets but have given up because they have 5 cats and 1 dog in the house. Unless they lock Grey-Boy up all by himself, he runs off the other cats and the dog from their dishes and eats all of their food! I'm afraid he won't have a long life but so far no diabetes or anything like that.
