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.”

Load More Replies...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.
He is a gorgeous cat!!! You are very lucky to have him. Love the picture of him on your belly. :)
I had a cat that was 32 pounds, but not as long as this one.
That kitty is over weight. I have had two maine coons and both were oversized for what show breeders prefer. Parents were grand champions. First Mocha weight was 26 lbs and the present one at 11 years old weighs 24. Neither has or had a tummy like that. I buy a large tote at Walmart and cut a hole in the end to use as a litter box as I've never found one to buy large enough. Dillon-and...d90f52.jpg
QUIERO UN LARGEST CAT, VIVO EN ARGENTINA COMO PUEDO TENER UNO?
Omg how big, I have a fat cat named jinxy but aka garfield as he's big and ginger and loves to be cuddled and belly rubs but my yours is massive would love a cat that size..
My 25 pound tabby brothers don't look anywhere near that massive. Must be all that bushy fur.
Yikes! I thought my 14-pounder was a load on my chest. Samson would probably keep me from breathing.
This is a very nice looking kitty although I have the sweetest nicest cuddle kitty in the world you can see her in my profile picture.
This cat is nice although I have the sweetest nicest cuddle kitty there is. Steven-MK-...760bab.jpg
