The Cat is 100% REAL! He is a Maine Coon and his name is Riley. Here are two other photo's for verification. Oh, and chelle, did you not see at the top of the page where it says status? It says true. There are MANY Maine Coons that are this size. I have seen many in cat shows that are bigger then Riley.
Now how can you deny that he's real? He is just a big, huggable, lovable boy!
He's enormous. We saw a cat at Christmas that was about that size. I saw him out of the corner of my eye and mistook him for a cocker spaniel - then my husband said,"OMG, look at that cat!" The owner said he was a Siberian.
There is a lot of fur there that makes this cat look bigger. However, my male Pixie Bob is 21 pounds and one of my female Pixie Bobs is 14 pounds. Then there is Amber, who will be 30-40 pounds
