Cat's With Big Heads

[alleygirl]

Xander has a big head. He was neutered when he was rescued off the street at around 1 year old. I don't think he has "jowls" though, just a big head!

Its really about the same shape as Riley, who was neutered at 10 weeks. Riley's is just much smaller.

Gee, I wish you lived near me, someone has dumped a cuddly adult male with an immense head, and I'm trying desperately to find him a loving home. But not my home, I have all I can handle!

I will probably head down to the shelter and look for a spayed or neutered cat with the features the "Fat Head" that I like.

I was at a friends house and he had an intact male american shorthair with a GIGANTIC head, but he did spray. I am not willing to risk spraying for any sized head

Let us know how the visit to the shelter goes, sounds exciting!

Monster has a huge head. Just about everything about Monster is huge.. His head, his paws, everything. He is just a beautiful moggie, but I kinda do think there is some Maine Coon in his blood.

I'm sure you will find a great cat with a big head at the shelter. Good luck!!

You can neuter a tom at any time after he matures, and he should stop spraying after that. No guarantee, but I've had toms several years old neutered, and they quit spraying immediately after.
