People ask periodically "so, just how big is your cat now?", like they think I exaggerate Alice's size for some insane reason. I mean, Maine Coon, guys, these are the cats they designed to star in SyFy Original Pictures.
I give you Alice, with a copy of Rosemary and Rue for scale, taken inside the last few weeks:
I am the proud human of a five year old Coonie called Bucky B Katt (yes from Get Fuzzy). Bucky weighs in at 24 pounds and is three times the size of his sisters (they're Burmese/Aby crosses)
Yeah, that's big for a Maine Coon. Our still-growing boy is about 16 pounds now, at 2.5, and will probably barely break 20 pounds. My queens are about 12, 13 pounds (one's fully grown and won't get any bigger, the other is 2.5 and has a little bit of growing still to do).
I had a friend whose MC tipped the scales at 22 lbs and liked to lie on the sleeping bag when I stayed over, thus effectively pinning me to the ground.

That is him in my icon 8-)

But he's a nice furry footwarmer in the middle of winter.
