Here is my 20lb Maine Coon, Tobias.

6 years ago I moved out and bought a little flat. It was just me and Tobias back then.

Just 1 year later I met Jay, we bought a house, got Jesse (Tobias' half brother, a red silver tabby) and now we have over 80 animals and a baby!

How things change.

Oh and here is another one.. 4 years old and almost fully grown. He was a bit wet from my nephews having a water fight! lol

I must post a pic of my coony boy Elmo Hes a Silver Tabby and now aged nearly 3years.He is nowhere near as big as your boy but I do know we joke that we paid £350 for the biggest alley cat ever.He is a bully and torments my little choc Tortie Tinkerbell by running at her so she screams and runs away.He only likes me and ignores everyone else and is definately not a cuddle cat. I must weigh him but he keeps himself fit and trim so he can jump out of bedroom windows and over 6 ft catproof fences without touching the top. He gives me nightmares

Why do cats have a thing about going under heat lamps or reading lamps? As soon as you open a viv and tub the snake to clean them out she's in the bloomin viv...lies down under heat lamp and goes to sleep.. friggin nutter!

Gorgeous cat pouchie, t'other half would love a Maine coon. Says he wants one of those 'monster size cats' he's so technical bless him

Tobias is just amazing he is the most docile cat ever.

He is half UK lines and half American.

Well the Brits go for type and the Americans go for SIZE so he has the best of both worlds. I don't deserve him really because I had him neutered and I don't do 'shows' so he has never even been shown.

His grandfather is 28lbs .. and no... he is not fat!

a 28lb cat...crikey bet your lap would ache after a while with that bugger. Other halfs in love with that idea though. Aw that'd dwarf libby bless her, she's only dead small at the moment.

Just found this thread! I'm Jen and lurve my puddy tats!!! I have two moggies: Louis (who I am almost positive has ragdoll in him somewhere) and Kallie (who has very definite oriental lines). I am trying to talk my hubby into buying me a third (found a blue eyed white fluff ball in Bolton... *dream kitty*), but I seriously doubt it'll work. Louis was dumped outside my old work in a shoe box with his brother and sister (who both went to friends)... They were about 5 weeks old and fit in the palm of my hand. And Kallie was from an accidental litter of another friend's.

I have three cats. Abby we have had since a kitten, George was in a rescue but no one wanted him as he had just lost his leg. He came home with us and is the best decision I ever made. (he is wonderful). Lucy, I fostered as she was at the rescue but was pining and starving herself. She was not expected to live but picked up and then we couldn't let her go. lol. (I was not very good at fostering!! lol)
George was diagnosed with diabetes in october, 2006 but proved impossible to get his BGs under control (still is). George was eventually diagnosed with acromegaly/gigantism (pituitry tumour)and is part of a trial at the RVC. He had radiotherapy a year ago. His last brain scan showed that the tumour had not shrunk but had not increased in size either. His growth hormone levels are still through the roof (sadly). Having another CT scan in a few weeks.
Despite all his problems, George is the happiest and most loving of all three of my cats. I will try and post photos lol.

I have one cat. A 19 year old tortie and white moggy. She's a beautiful cat and I don't know what i'd do without her, she's been with me since I was 1. She's deaf now and dribbles a bit due to her age and she went a little thin for a while. But her weight is going up lately. We lost her daughter about 5 years ago (age nearly 13, also a tortie and white) to antifreeze poisoning (or so the vet thought).
They used to sleep cuddled up together and you wouldn't know where one ended and the other began. I do often wonder if she gets lonely but I know she'd hate it if we got another cat now.
Playing with string on the stairs (she still plays like a kitten):-

and just to prove that the top of the vivarium is the best place to sleep:-

Aw bless her she looks lovely. Really good age as well. I do have a soft spot for torties. Our next door neighbour back in Oldham used to have 4 torty females..they were absolutely bonkers but beautiful cats.
