Oh, and I forgot to mention the Great White Cat! I didn't get a picture because this cat was in one of those collapsable cages with the mesh, so he wouldn't have shown up very well, and I thought the guy was not too friendly when I asked if he could take the cat out so we could see him better and take a picture.
Anyway, I think it was a Maine Coone, so I'm not surprised he was big, but this cat weighed 25 1/2 pounds (11.5 kg)!!! And he didn't look fat at all, he was just huge. His paws were literally almost the size of Inka's head! And his head....well, lets just say he could easily have passed for a medium sized dog, like a poodle or something. I've never seen a cat this big. He was laying down, sleeping, and he completely filled the cage. I bet he was laying down because if he sat up he would have had to hunch over because he would have been too tall for the cage.
It would have been nice to see him outside the cage, sitting or standing....maybe next to another cat just to emphasis how big he was. Sure wish I could have gotten a picture - drat!
And, after seeing all those purebreds, we decided that Tubby is a purebred too. He is of the rare Domestic Black Panther breed. And the name on his papers is Lord Tubias de'Cat of Burr Ridge Manor. So, you think that'll work for the next show?
