Cats

[Reeves1]

Anyone know of some that are big, like this one ?



I do not remember where I got the picture. I seem to remember it in an e-mail , with the topic line: "Why The Dog Left Home"

Been thinking about getting a new Kitten and want a "large" type.
Only ones I know of that get this big, are the Russians. Expensive though.....

Pure bread maine coons get rather large. Cheap and easy to find...or so Im told.

I'm not sure if the pic has been fudged..but that may be a main coon.

I remember that pic from years ago, I believe it was proven as a shopped pic on snopes.

What about a Serval or a domestic Lynx? There is a guy near here that sells them, from Maidstone Sk.

Looked into the Lynx end of things back as far as 91 or 92. Not an option.

Russians (breeders that I found) want $800.00+.
Not an option.

I'll check out the Maine Cats....

Don't want anything with Bobcat blood. Nasty critters, Bobcats ! Lynx has a much more calm disposition (ask any trapper).

That one is legit, as per snopes. True

You must be thinking of this one which was chopped:

Norwegian Forest cats are pretty big as well.

Time to bring this back up.
Still looking for a Russian or Maine Coon, that doesn't cost your first born.....

There's a new breed out that is bred with a domestic cat and a bobcat. Can't remeber the name. I'll have to do a search. I think I saw the breeder in B.C.
