Oh, he's for real. You never got to meet my late cat Thumper: Thumper got his name not after the rabbit in Bambi, but because you could pat his belly and he'd thump like a ripe watermelon. A decade ago, my sister came out with her family for a visit, and I got to watch my then-two-year-old niece ride Thumper around the house like a pony. Oranzio is a bit larger than Thumper, but not by much.

A MsGySgt I knew in the Marines had 3 cats around his size. Very affectionate too.

Max is apparently trying to aspire to that size, but I'm not letting him.

my god!

He does look like Garfield, only much larger.

Poor cat.

I would have to say that this is one kitty I wouldn't want jumping on me in the morning to wake me up.

That expression is hilarious. It's the personification of, "...you WHAT?"

*puts hand over mouth* Oh, my. I thought my parents' cat was fat. She's basically spherical, but compared to this guy, she's anorexic.

On the issue of Maine Coons, my Baby is part Maine Coon, and typically weighs about 14 pounds--all muscle. Aldous, on the other hand, is my parents' cat's son, and, yeah. He has udders. They flop when he runs. It's hilarious.

After seeing a 30lb cat at the pet adoptions, slimmed down from 35lbs(!!!) I'd believe it. I wonder if he makes the "OOF" grunty sound that my big kitty makes when you pick him up like that. All that tub needs to be evenly distributed dang it!

I find this really sad. It's got to be hell on his heart & bones. Poor kitty.
