Holy Canoli!

Yes, that's a Maine Coon cat all right!

Nipsy IS a beautiful cat. He looks a lot like my Tiger who I also
suspect is a Maine Coon. There is no question that Nipsy is big but I
think the picture tends to exaggerate his size. By holding the arms out
and taking the picture up close, Nipsy would appear larger than life.

What happened to the other 2?



They were forgotten in the bowels of my memory. I meant 4 feet, of course!
I can't believe I said 2!~ But perhaps I was thinking of her front feet as
her hands, since she likes to clasp things in them--much like a mouse.
Coincidentally, she was called "Mouse" by the humane society before I got
her. That was probably because she was so tiny and ugly, and pure white.
She's a cutie pie now, though, despite her generic name (Miss Kitty).

WOW what big pussy cat! beautiful! sure look part Maine Coon to me too!
how much does it weigh?


He only weighs around twenty pounds. He's just big, but really under all that
hair he's very lean, you can see his shoulder blades in the photo. . If he had
a better appetite, he'd probably be huge. He just picks at his food, no matter
what you feed him. He's always been that way.

LOL, I told you I got accused of posting a "doctored" photo last time I put
that link up. The cat being closer to the camera than the person probably
*does* give that illusion, but even in a pic of her holding him close, you can
still tell how big he is. Look at the size of his head in relation to her in
this photo. He's got the biggest cat-head I've ever seen. He truly is a gentle
giant though.
