I'd put money on it that he will.
Oliver is a big boy for sure but he looks very big sometimes and relatively 'normal' size at other times. Those particular pics of him make him look monstrous due to camera angle or whatever. I think I remember basscat basscat saying the same about Gibbs once. Oliver starts from a big baseline whatever.
Yep.... Here are two pics of Gibsy, taken just a few minutes apart.

nope, I just did a search for ginger maine coon. the people I got my mc from had some tragedy and have disbanded. the cats had to be taken by rescue and I guess a couple were put down because of health problems. very sad.

That's sad they had to give it up and fell on hard times. Looks like it happened around 2011 just after the economy fell out.

I think I remember looking at the Congacoon site before. I remember the cattery pics. I've looked at a crap load of breeder site over the last year! I think I ruled them out because they don't show or appear to do genetic testing. Looks like they have some big cats though. One is 8 months and 15 lbs. They posted some new male breeders since I was there just a few hours ago. Apparently they are breeding Ghost eye / odd eye cats. They have some nice cats though. They're probably only 6 hours from me. I put them in my Favs. but, I think I've settled on my breeder though.

This is just the thread for me and I’ve really enjoyed scrolling though the pictures and seeing everyone’s big fur kids.

My guy is a Savannah Cat and his name is Gideon. He’s not all that heavy, maybe 25 pounds at the most, but he’s very long and lanky. People either have two reactions to him, they’re frightened of him or they think he’s beautiful. I of course, am a member of the second category.

Do you buy cat food by the case - or maybe by the carload? When you upload photos to TheCatSite, do you get the error message, "! Cat Too Large! !" Do you sit on the floor to watch television, because your cat takes up the whole sofa? Then you're in the right place.

Some people just Love Maine Coon Cats, big Ragdolls, Norwegian Forest Cats, Siberians (and Neva Masquerades), and all their mixed kith and kin; post 'em here - all those big hairy Eating Machines. mightyboosh mightyboosh @Hawkfur @Official.buttercup @ashenshugar @scarlettleia - even basscat basscat (since no one will argue about Bobcats not being Big And Hairy) - and everyone else who shares their home with Cats Of Unusual Size.

I'll start off with Bob, the Norwegian Forest Cat (a fraction over 35 pounds, and 112 cm), and two photos taken on rare occasions when he wasn't eating - first with his pal, Scottiecat, and second, with his Friend, White Tip:

Now let's see yours!

Actually we DO buy our cat food buy the car load.

Here are pics of the last purchase!

The boys like paw licken chicken and it hardly ever goes on sale so when it does, we stock up.

$800.00 worth! But i saved $200 .00, so it was worth it.

Its been about 2 years since I posted pics of Greg and Arnold here. They are now about 6 and a half years old and finished growing.

Arnold is about 23/24 lbs, though i would like him to loose a couple pounds, ( he isnt interested in doing so).

Greg is about 20/21 pounds and is a good weight for his build. He looks like a rectangular cement block with legs. And we love them both.
