The Largest Cat In NYC Who Weighs 28 Lbs And Is Larger Than Most Bobcats
Meet Samson, a 28 lbs (~13 kg) Maine Coon cat from NYC who is larger not only than most domesticated felines but also wild bobcats. This fluffy cat is around 4 feet in length and has even been dubbed “the largest cat in NYC.” In fact, he might even be the biggest cat in the world. The current Guinness World record holder passed away in 2013, and this huge cat is measured at 4.04 feet.
“Samson is a very adorable cat but also a tough one, who fits the term gentle giant very well,” Jonathan Zurbel, Samson’s owner, told Love Meow. “He is not fat or overweight but a strong sturdy cat,” the cat dad said. “He waits by my (bedroom) door and comes in first thing in the morning to sit on my belly. He is very kind and sweet and a very well behaved cat. He is a dream cat.”
Now, scroll down below to meet this cute cat for yourself!

My maine c**n is about 3ft 4in long and 22 lbs ^_^ and all he ever wants to do is crawl under the covers and snuggle.

My Sam was a short haired ginger. He weighted 27 lbs at 6 six years. Vet weighed him twice, because he thought it must have been an error. See he was not fat either, just bigger than life. More love to give, and I srill miss him sometimes. I think my Tink is his etherical daughter, or him reincarnated - she's a lover too, but in a smaller, greynwhite package.
