At three times the size of the average cat, most would think giant pet Rupert has done enough growing for now.
But the super-sized feline, who at 20lbs (9kg) could claim to be one of the world's biggest cats, is only half grown and set to gain more weight.
The giant breed Maine coon is only half its possible size at nearly three years old, and is expected to put on another 11lbs.
A three-time cat of the year in his native Australia, Rupert is said by cat competition judges to be among the biggest Maine coon domestic cats they have ever seen.
Cat competition judge Lesley Morgan Blythe said: 'He's a mega, monster cat and still yet to fully fill out.

He's handsome. He better be careful that his neighbor's don't mistake him for a cougar or a panther!

He's absolutely gorgeous!! It's hard to believe he's only 20 lbs. though ~ he looks bigger!!!

M. Mama

I have a new female Dr. She has 3 Norwegian Forest Cats she told me after I told her I found/have my Lilly.
One of hers eats her own tail. Anyone know what that is all about?

Her husband makes handmade guitars. Could the glue, varnish, anything be really bothering her and she doesn't know what to do? Could it be making her very upset?

In one word, Joni ~ yes.

I would hate to clean that litter box!!!!

LOL ~ try having 20 cats in the house.

Heck no!!! We have 2, and their box is in the garage. We have a cat door that leads out for them. Their food and water is out there too. That's the only place we can keep the dogs out of. For some reason they are afraid to go through the cat door lol. I guess because the cats are bigger than them, and will kick their asses if they invade the garage :)

Sunstar ... thanks so much. I am going to call her on Monday. I don't think varnish, glue, etc. is good for any of them there, including her husband. Wonder if an air cleaner would help? One good thing, here in OR they can probably have the windows open about 7-8 months of the year.

Clean litter boxes? All you need is a dog!! Only kidding, but seriously, they like that. I have to keep cleaning it out because Lucy/
Beagle likes eating it!! Rich in nutrients? Anyhow, I have a clean litter box!

Sunstar ... I contacted that woman and told her about her cat that keeps eating her tail.
She too, I remembered has bad allergies. I wonder if it is her husband, the guitar maker, who is hurting HER too?
Whose lungs/system could take that day after day.
Her eyes were all red last time I saw her. Bad. In fact I asked her if she had been crying. I think she is going to look into this, for her cat and her.
Thanks so much!!
