Maine Coons aren't slouches either. I've seen a few that were 25 lbs of lean weight. In fact, the largest cat in the world is a Maine Coon and is about the size of a golden retriever.

I've seen a few that were 25 lbs of lean weight.

We had a fairly normal sized but a little bigger cat mate with a cat we found in a swamp with a torn out under arm that was a nice sized but not big. Kept them separate but somehow they mated. They had kittens that were 30 pounds of lean weight when grown. One of them grew so fast and big that it got really sick, the vet thought because it's body just wasn't keeping up with it's huge and rapid growth. The family that took her thought she was going to die but somehow once she was grown she came out of it. Something unusual happened with the mix of two fairly normal sized cats. The whole batch sure were beautiful.

My vet in California when we first got my Rocket (who is a Maine Coon, but a runt at his pre-CRF weight of 18 lbs.) had a Maine Coon, "Tucker," who weighed 28 lbs. He and my Rocket looked like brothers, but my Rocket was the "kitten" next to Tucker. They were/are both black and white with similar patterns.

My poor vet accidentally killed Tucker when he needed surgery but was violently allergic to the anesthesia drugs. My vet was heartbroken for a very long time.

If ever there was a vet who loved cats, it was that gentleman. He fell in love with Muffin, our second cat, and he came to our house to do the deed when The Muff had to be killed. He cried with us.

I wish he'd move to Ohio.
