[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 3667968, member: 29746"] I've actually seen a housecat that weighed something like 30 pounds. He was at a shelter when I was shopping around for my cat, and I remember him well. He was in a cage one would normally use to hold a dog, and a big black cat at least twice the length of any cat my family had ever had. He was not the least bit fat- he was Just That Big. The shelter people had named him "Moose-" a highly appropriate nickname, I'd say! He was actually a very sweet and lovable cat from what I could tell, but at the time I was unemployed so I was worried about how I'd be able to keep him fed- to say nothing of potential damage to the furniture. I'm in an apartment, so my cat has to be an indoor cat, and an animal the size of this one really needs to have a yard. So I moved on, and eventually found my present pet that I love dearly. I do sometimes wonder about that big ol' black cat Moose, though. [/QUOTE]
