- that's a 30cm ruler for scale 😯
We had been told that there was more than a splash of Maine Coon in his gene pool, but have recently been told by the woman at the cattery, that he didn't have a 2 layer coat, or the pointed face that would signify this.
Do we have to accept that he is simply some sort of moggie/shire horse hybrid, or do you have some other idea of what he might be ?
It's a cat. HTH.
Google Turkish Van.
Our cat was that big and looked similar, but not that fat 🙂
can confirm, defo a cat.
It's a dwarf in a cat costume, obviously.
Could be the Social, Drug Squad or a PI.
Tell it you're taking it to the vets for 'a little operation'.
If it runs away on it's back legs, screaming, you'll know the truth.
future set of slippers for the wife?
I see a target.
It appears to be a Five legged cat IIRC.
Turkish Van X something else is a good guess
Our wee beastie - his mother was the smallest little Persian and daddy unknown ( suspect it could have been a Turkish Van )

I had one that size - turned out that it was just a standard sized cat with a lot of fluff, therefore making it look much larger.
For a definitive answer, simply take the cat and dunk in the bath for a while. It should shrink a fair bit when wet. You may need protective leather gauntlets and a full face helmet for this task.
Having said that, it is a flippin' long cat.
It's a ruler
No it's not its a scale rule.
Cats rule!

That's not a real cat either - it's completely ignoring that mouse under it's nose.
Smear it with sudocream

I believe it's to give it a sporting chance.

Sputnik - your cat, especially the fur, is the closest thing that I have seen to our dear little Basil, so something like a Persian/Turkish van type cross thingie it may well be.

Kill it dead

Turkish Vans are apparently very rare and expensive. But there are quite a few cats that look just like them it seems.
My old one whom I miss, and now belongs to flippinheckler:

The smaller of my Maine Coons when he was a year old, I just measured the rug at 70cm for reference.

Lol at noteeth's cat in Jabba's lair.
If the domestic cat was bigger, they would eat us.

have you considered that what you have there
might well be a very cunning hare ?
I think schrickvr6 has something from Jabba's Place too.

Your lawn needs some tlc, it's looking like a desert.
They're just cats aren't they? You can claim they're breeds but ultimately, they all look the same.

Don't feed it after midnight.
