It's a good sign that he's still able to jump with all that weight on him. I put Bee's weight control food on the bathroom vanity to make her work for it a little (and to keep it from the dogs), and the water bowl is in the bathtub because Pogo splashes it around all the time.

I wish more people would post pictures. I know I've seen an avatar on here with a cat that looks just like Bee, but I can't think whose it is.

His face looks just like my Maine Coon, Fluffles. Fluffles was husky but not nearly as big :)
Beautiful cat!!!!

Good grief, Feline Fanatic - your cat could double as a blanket!

Right now I have a handsome tuxedo cat, Pete, but before we found him, we adopted a longhaired cat that I thought might have some MC in her. She never grew very big, though.

Lucy was not a nice cat and hated to be brushed. We finally trained each other by using cat treats. If she resisted brushing, she didn't get her treats! Mean as she was, she endeared herself to me even though I bore a lot of scratches from her claws. Here she is, asking for her handout.

Buddy, can you spare a treat??

Here are my two. The little on is only 6 lbs and the big boy is 18. My DH swears the big guy has MC in him. then I showed him some of your cats. I keep threatening to get him a MC but he doesn't think so.

Thank you everyone for posting pictures of your darlings. I lost my constant companion, Purr-Zsa this last winter and miss her terribly. She wasn't a MC or a NFC, but she was a big Himalayan - about 16 pounds. I'm enclosing a picture of her just because.....Your post gave me a few tears as I miss her so much and lots of laughs. Thanks again.

Linda

The lovely large-boned Purr-Zsa

kwhite, are they related to each other? They look alike except for the huge size difference.

Jo Mamma, Snowshoe could pass for my kitty's sister, but they were probably born a thousand miles apart! Bee's real sisters were solid gray and white.

A lot of our cats have cinnamon noses.

Quiltmaniac2010, I loved seeing the picture of your late, great Purr-Zsa, too.

No Rose they are not. Boots was born under the shed and then abandoned by a bad mom who took everyone else but him, and Lola was an SPCA rescue after my old man (Siamese) was tormented to death by Boots (aka EVIL) right Amma?
