Mt aunt had one that died recently, and I have a buddy w/ one. They are freakin HUGE, (voley ball size head) the first time I saw my aunts, I took a step or two back. Luckily they are fairly timid, and non agressive by nature. They are expensive ($1500 house cat)

Those are my kind of cats, over feed it and let it hunt down the locals.
 
My kitty is bigger than your kitty :biggrin: :biggrin:

He's a Savannah, they are a cross between a domestic cat and an African Serval. They can weigh over 30lbs!

Main Coons are great cats.....You wont be disappointed!

We had one as a shop cat. She started coming around as a stray kitten, so we kept her. That cat was awesome. Her name was Scruff. She died 13 years ago, ate a dragonfly.:( She loved to play and could play rough if you played rough. She was stand-offish with people she didn't know. She would listen to only a few of us and would come if you called her, like a dog. She was very loving too. She liked to catch chipmunks, moles, and sometimes birds.(not so cool, but in her nature) Cool cats.:cool:

I had a stray that was 1/2 Maine Coon and 1/2 ? Was the biggest REGULAR cat I've ever owned at over 25 lbs. Relly neat cat, loved me and slept with me every night for 19 years. Would come running to me if I whistled, just like a dog. Miss him dearly!

Awesome cat dude. We have 2 Bengals which are also bred with Servals. They are not nearly as big as your savannah though.

That savannah cat is AWESOME! That is as pretty of a cat as I have ever seen, so beautiful.
I though my aunts had the biggest cat (30 lbs) until I went to my bosses house, and saw his sons rescued cougars.... He has registered as a refuge for owners caught w/ those cats illegally, he'd take them until they could be sent back out. They were 5'-6' long and probably hundred and fifty to two hundred pounds, paws literally bigger than your head, but they have smaller heads, Big 40 lbs of horse meat, and growl at you. I almost soiled myself, and it was in a double cage. Dogs are cool, but big cats really take it up a notch IMO.
 
V6,

Bengals are a cross between an Asian Leopard Cat and a domestic cat! Alot of Savannah breeders cross the Bengal with the Serval to get the Savannah.

Here is a link to Bengals

The International Bengal Cat Society Homepage

Yea I knew that and realized a little later that I had posted wrong. I was going to change my post but by the time I got back to it I couldn't edit and figured it wasn't worth another post for the few people that care. :biggrin: I was thinking Serval because our Bengal breeder has a Serval that she is using to breed Savannahs from her Bengals. The Serval is freakin cool.
