Then there is our oldest cat, who has the maine coon coloration, but was clearly the runt of his litter because he is a tiny cat. He has a loud meow though. (and opinions.

A friend of mine has three Maine Coons. Whenever I go over there to look after them when my friend and his family are away, it’s like getting attacked by huge wild hairy monsters. They can almost knock me over in their rush to get petted first.

That’s no natural animal. Some sort of Fey forest spirit.

Of course it’s big. It’s a Maine Coon cat, as in not minor.

I love cats, but this kitty is too big for my taste to be comfortable to have around.

Where does a 3 foot* cat eat?
Anywhere it wants to.

Everything’s bigger in Maine?

I hope that was a joke, because otherwise someone is incorrect.
Bobcats don’t have tails or fur like that, nor do other lynxes.
Zeus is just huge, even for a Maine coon.

That is, presumably, where the name “bobcat” comes from. (At least, I always assumed.)

Our kids were about 2 years old before they were bigger than their cat-brother, Max, who stood about 28" tall and weighted about 24 pounds, lean. He didn’t have Zeus’s fluff, but when a “normal”-sized human was holding him, he certainly looked photo-shopped in.
We laid down some fairly clear rules for him and, as a rescue, he knew they were minor requests in exchange for the Best Home Ever. We never once caught him on the table or benches.
He was such a good boy. 
I hear you, but Max loved his monkey-brother enough to never lay a paw on him even though the interactions were sometimes not his ideal.
And he also got to teach the monkey kids a few things

I would like to see a picture of Zeus where he’s not standing, just sprawled out so we can properly appreciate the fluffy big boi.
