Maine Coons are often enormous cats. Many people long for one of these big companions to snuggle and Yulia Minina of eastern Russia has one. The cat, Kefir, is only two years old and thought to be the largest kitten in the world. Kefir weights just under 28 pounds and is larger than many toddlers.
Photos of this magnificent cat can be found here, but if you look up Maine Coon cats in general you'll be treated to some of the most majestic photos of cats you'll ever see. Yes, some photo editing can be deceptive, but in general these cats are large, fluffy and gorgeous. As the owner of a half-Maine Coon, I can also attest to their their gentleness and great cuddling skills.
