Age: We don't know exactly how old he is because he was given to us a few years ago and we didn't know how old he was. 8-10 years old is a good estimate.
Official.buttercup - Do you have any other photos, and a little more information? Age, gender, weight and whether or not desexed would help.
There looks to be a cold weather breed influence - the long hair between the toes might be Norwegian Forest Cat, Siberian, or even (though a little less likely) Maine Coon influence. The more we know, the less wild a guess you might get - and welcome to TCS!

Thank you so much for your help! And he seems to think he's gorgeous too.
Official.buttercup - Best (wild) guess is Siberian or Norwegian Forest Cat ancestry. He's an altogether gorgeous fellow.

ashenshugar - Welcome to the TCS Forums; your Pyewacket isThe face has a bit of a triangle shape so I'm leaning more to Norwegian mix here.
Here's a picture of our Wegie so you can compare.
Beautiful boy you have there.
Here's our Pyewacket (Full Norwegian) at 11 months old for comparison.

I remember Bob! You showed me his beautiful picture when he was a svelt 30 lbs. Yea, our Pyewacket is going to be around that size. Vet said he'll be 25 pounds or more. He's about 18 lbs now at a bit over a year old.ashenshugar - Welcome to the TCS Forums; your Pyewacket isa funny looking Siamese, and where's Kim Novak???absolutely gorgeous! Here's my little Bob, just having passed five years, and hopefully (please, God, please!) just about fully grown, having crossed the thirty-five pound threshold, but not quite yet the 112 cm mark:
ashenshugar - No doubt that your Pyewacket will grow larger than Ms. Novak's. Of course, I'm far too young to remember Bell, Book And Candle, but if I weren't, I'd probably remember sitting in the Century Theatre in Buffalo N.Y. with my Mother, on a cold, damp November evening in 1958, watching Ms. Novak in that green silk dress, and later comparing Pye to my own Miss Busy - a Seal Point who'd just joined our Family a few months prior.I remember Bob!

As for Pyewacket being a funny looking siamese and missing Kim Novak? Bonus points for the movie quote.
And regardless of what breed of cat you like, or if you don't even know Kim Novak, nothing beats this picture...
(from the movie 'Bell, Book, and Candle' for those curious -- Kim Novak holding her cat Pyewacket, the Siamese)

Oh, and movie trivia. Kim Novak was allowed to keep Pyewacket after the movie since they had bonded so much through filming, that Pyewacket would be despondent without Kim.
Thank youOfficial.buttercup Beautiful cat
Now, I'm pretty sure Moo is one of the giant breeds. He weighs around 20-30 pounds (I haven't weighed him for a few months) and if just big in general. Also very fluffy. Finally, all these cats are adorable.ashenshugar - No doubt that your Pyewacket will grow larger than Ms. Novak's.

Favourite quote: "Hasn't this cat got anything better to do? Couldn't you give him something to read?"
Official.buttercup - All the Giant Breed folks are this way. There's a clique in the Atlantic Region cat shows which other people actually call, "The Loonie Coonies" - breeders and Friends of the big breeds who've just naturally gravitated toward one another, and who are prone to causing a ruckus in restaurants and hotel lobbies during the shows. Something about the big breeds and big personalities, I suspector maybe just overcompensation.
mightyboosh - hands off! You could, if you wished, post a few shots of Oliver and Chubchub here, to sort of 'round out' the thread, you know.

Official.buttercup - Very few cats - unless morbidly obese, which Moo certainly is not - exceed fifteen pounds. At twenty pounds, it's perfectly reasonable to assume a great deal of Giant Breed influence. At "20-30 pounds" there's no question about itNow, I'm pretty sure Moo is one of the giant breeds.

This thread isn't a question anymore. It's being overrun by giant cats XDOfficial.buttercup - Very few cats - unless morbidly obese, which Moo certainly is not - exceed fifteen pounds.

At "20-30 pounds" there's no question about itunless the cat is actually a visiting alien from a very large planet.
I'm inclined to think that Moo might actually be a Norwegian (especially since we have four considered opinions in that direction on this thread), or a Norwegian/Siberian cross. No matter the heritage, this is one exquisite cat.
Warning: now that we know that Moo is 20 to 30 pounds, do not let mightyboosh anywhere near your home.
