Say hi to what could soon be the biggest domestic cat ever

6/11/2012

Check out the photo gallery above; you can that see Rupert is no ordinary cat. Weighing in at a staggering 20 pounds, the feline is only 2 years old and is expected to pack on another 11 pounds before he's fully grown, which would make him one of the world's biggest cats. With three Australian "Cat of the Year" awards under his flea collar, this big boy has loads of street (and stage) cred. Although his owner boasts of his "magnificent, wild look," we wouldn't want to run into him in a dark alley -- he'll be the size of an adult bobcat when he's grown. But chillax: This Maine coon cat is more likely to curl up in the chair next to you than attack.
