I want to get an extremely large cat, but do they even exist?

[Martin]

I really want to get some ultra large cat - something like 30+lbs would be great. The largest that I know of is the Ragdoll, but the males only reach 15-20lbs. I suspect that no such cat breeds exist, but I thought I'd ask anyway...

WTF ? Why ?

Thanks and goodluck with the cat hunt!

He obviously has to deal with very large rodents.

MartyTheManiak, have you considered a bobcat?

Did you just watch anger management? Depending on how healthy you want your cat to be, having a fat cat could be relatively easy or quite difficult.

After a bit more searching, I found that Maine Coons reach 18lbs, and Ragdolls and RagaMuffins reach 20lbs.

But yes, I'd really like something bobcat/lynx sized, but domesticated.

Don Vito's cat is huge.

I work with some girls who have some fat cats
Off topic, i was in Detroit last week and some woman on the corner asked me if i wanted to feel her big cat. She appeared to be selling it. I should have got her phone number for you...

Howard, AFAIK don vito's cat is about 18lbs. So like that, but bigger

It seems pixie bobs reach 16-22 lbs....

Get a St Bernard dog and dress it up like a cat. You'll never know the diff You could even get a voice recorder and record a cats purr and meow...and whenever the dog barks, it'll either meow or purr.

According to this, they don't make good pets temperament-wise

Even though laws here in canada make it really easy to own exotic pets (I think easier than guns, but I am not sure), I still want a cat that acts like a normal cat, not a wild predator.


Bridgen, what's that breed?
