We have a couple of big feral kitties, our baby neo is 19 pounds and nimbus is eight monthes old and 12 pounds, we think he will end up being HUGE!

NIMBY!! Wow, he is getting heavy! Post some new pics of that big boy!

Just make sure your not getting one as a social status booster

socal status is the last thing on my mind. most of the things i am into are things that most people dont like or dont even know exist. pretty much all of the cats i have seen in my life were just normal sized house cats or big tigers that i wouldnt want in my house. i do check the petfinder website from time to time, but i wish they would put the weight or some measurments on the site.

One way to find the size of a cat is to visit a shelter. Thats a surefire way to know.

Hi Phil,

I just happened upon this thread and thought I'd add my two cents! My family has two British Shorthair cats. They are definitely a MAN'S cat. They are big, sturdy and hardy. Depending upon what the breeder breeds for, some BSH's are quite large. My Duncan is 17 pounds worth of solid cat. Almost every man that has come to my house just LOVES Duncan. They are excellent around people, children and other pets. Kind of a no-nonsense breed of cat. Short, plush hair. Quite a wonderful housecat

I'm a little biased, though...lol! He is a pedigreed BSH and is from Olivia Strongo of Elusive Blue Cattery in Simi Valley, California. She breeds for a nice, large BSH. Good luck in your choice!

Also, I have several pictures of him posted here on the CatSite if you want to do a search

Anyways, Good Luck on your search!

thanks cindy, it wouldnt let me see your pics but i did a search on that breed and got an idea of what it looks like. it looks like a nice cat, very solid looking. it just might be a little smaller than what i had in mind, but what i have in mind probly doesnt exist.

Hmmm...bummer that it wouldn't let you see the pictures. Ugh...computers!

Anyways, I'm sure you will find what you're looking for
