I have a couple of Ragdolls which are considered the largest domestic cat breed. They run a couple pounds heavier than a Maine Coon on average. The male Ragdolls can reach 20+ pounds when fully grown at 4 years old. I have 2 females, they average about 5 pounds less than the males. So my question is "who has the largest cat" here at the forums? No B.S now....this is just for fun, and is not meant to cause any arguments.
So how large is your cat?

Ivo's not big, but she did manage to put on a lot of weight in a short time. When I took her in as a stray, she was 6 pounds. Less than a year later, she was almost 12 pounds. Now that she's settled in and knows food will always be here, and since switching her to a light food formula, she's down to 10 1/2 pounds, about where her vet wants her to be (our goal is 9 1/2 to 10 pounds).

Well Bud weighs in at 28 pounds, but he's quite overweight. I've been working on that problem though. He's not a happy camper about the diet, but it's for the best. Here's a pic of him:

Our Ragdoll Sasha is 30 lbs. His nickname when he's being a hog and stealing other kitties' food is The Fur Pig.


I just gave him a really good and thorough grooming tonight, will take new pics tomorrow. He was shedding his winter coat like crazy, so LOL he may have lost a pound in pure HAIR!

Mom of 10...I can't imagine a cat weighing 30 pounds.
Can't wait to see a picture of your Ragdoll.

Most of your cats have mine beat. Every since she was one she weighed and still is 12 lbs. Her sides bulge and she has bad tummy sag, she is now on lo cal food. My other one is a mere 6 lbs. Reminds me of a jingle... skinny and fat went to bed, fat rolled over and skinny was dead..LOL..not that they would even sleep near each other, one at my feet one at the top of my head, and our new stray not brave enough to even come in the bedroom, sorry, rambling on.

I guess Spike is a lightweight. At his vet appointment 10 days ago, he weighed in at 9.3 pounds.

As we just dosed our cats tonight with flea treatment- Stryker, my manx weighed in at 18 pounds. He is not fat, but very heavily muscled- real stalky bobcat type.

Here's my kitties weights!

Twinkles - 10 years old, calico female, 6 pounds, 29 inches long.

Peppurr - 2 years old, tuxedo male, 15+ pounds, 36 inches long.

Rascal - 1 year old, maine coon cross male, 13 pounds, 38 inches long.

Zues - 10 weeks old, maine coon/snowshoe male, 3 pounds, 21 inches long.

Majesty - 6-7 years old, bengal female, 10 pounds, 34 inches long.

Rascal will grow for another 2 years. Maine Coon crosses are slow maturing just like purebred Maine Coons. Zues will probably be much bigger than Rascal since he will be fixed at an earlier age! Peppurr is my biggest boy, I wonder if any of my cats will be heavier than him?!

As most of you already know, I had to re-home most of my kitties. Chaos is leaving tomorrow, Hercules left today.

Buddy weighs in at about 10 lbs. Being a longhair, he looks even bigger. The funny part is that he doesn't meow - he emits a barely audible squeak. That tiny little squeak, coming out of this large cat, endeared him to me and I had to adopt him.

The biggest cat I ever had was Leo,
and he was 22 lbs. of red tabby sweetness. He had a very tiny meow, too. It was so funny to hear this little kitten noise from this huge cat. He was neutered very early, and retained his kittenish sweetness for his whole life.

Toes is 21 pounds (although he may have slimmed down a bit since moving to WY) and Tailer was at a fat 17 (she's down to 12 now--we were watching her weight because she was the fat one). I'll have to ask my Mom what Toes weighs now.

Yeah, I think Bud wins. That picture was quite funny. I'm always afriad Maddie is going to be overweight. She's one and at perfect weight, but she cries for food like every hour. When I first got her I fed her all the time. Then started to get worried about it. My vet said that some cats will eat and eat and eat even when they're not hungry. She used the words, 'until they blow up" buts that puts such a terrible image in my head I forced my self to beleive that it's not true...What do you all think? Now, I feed both of them once in the morning and at night, and I wait until it's both Tybalt AND Maddie before I give them thier second feeding. It's not Maddie's fault entirely though, I'm bad with the people food. It's a wonder why they only come to me and not Tim when we're eating?

Anyway, sorry for rambling. Tell Bud to hang in thier with his diet,also tell him that he'll feel so proud of himself when he has reaches his goal weight
