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.

As soon as I saw Ozzy I thought of Roo and had to share him with you. Roo was very special to me and putting him down was a difficult but necessary decision. I will never forget him.
aww hes geogerous yea its so hard when have to put them to sleep i never thought he my wildest dreams id ever had to do it. It happened so Quick. Roo looks alot like ozzie except he had a white bib. Hes taken over the role of playing with the kittie jasmin. So lovely to see.
This is my Roo he was put to rest on November 28, 2011.
His presence in my life is missed every single day.
