Here is a thumpingly large Maine Coon. You won’t see a larger domestic cat unless someone calls a tamed puma a domestic cat. The Maine Coon is the largest domestic cat breed (excluding F1 wild cat hybrids).
Not only is he impressively large, I have never seen lynx typed ears with such long hair. And it is orange hair. He is an orange (red) tabby cat too (strictly speaking tabby and white). I always think that red tabbies are a bit special.
His hair is as long as a Persian cat’s hair that has been bred to extreme. His tail is plumed to magnificence but we can’t see it extended. The hair on his tail is about 9 inches long.
His face is as cute as can be and his head is almost as large as the head of the woman who is carrying him who I presume is his caretaker and companion. She may be his creator (breeder).
I don’t know enough about this cat. I don’t even know who took the photo – sorry. I am sure someone will tell me. He should weigh in at the very top end of pure domestic cats (non-wild cat hybrids) at around 25+ lbs. That’s a guess, though.
The world’s largest cat is on this page (an article about the largest cats domestic to wild). See wild cat species by size is on this page.

my ozzy 1yrs old
wow that looks so much like my ozzie same name even.
Hi Leah, I guess you mean the Feline calicivirus (FCV). Ozzie look very sweet. He has nice eyes. He looks like a retiring sort of cat. Lovely coat too.
I just can’t get over those ears!! He is such a big handsome boy! Here is my Ozzie who is big but I think he would have been bigger had the Calichi not taken hold of him as an adolescent cat.
Hi Pat. I agree that the Maine Coon is the world’s best pedigree cat. And this boy is one of the best examples so he is special. Thanks for sharing Pat.
He is just beautiful. I have never seen ears like that. His Mom is truly lucky to have him. He is very special. I had a 16 pound Maine Coon all black with double paws on all fours, and he was the love of my life. He was such a sweet lover boy and he graced my presence for 17 years. There is nothing like the Maine Coon personality.
