The size of this kitty cat

I've honestly seen smaller cows
 

When it's time to feed that cat, you'd better feed it!

No Photoshop amazingly enough, the story was in the New York Post, the guy who owns it lives in Brooklyn. It's a Maine Coon and weighs 25lbs. They usually get pretty big, but not that big.

I gotta call BS.
 
That cat pretty much covers the guys torso.
 
Even if we assume a torso is only 25% of his body weight the guy would have to weigh only 100 pounds (or less) in order for the proportions of the cat to him to be even somewhat accurate. No?

Maine Coons are big for domestic cats, but nothing like as big as that in the picture. A friend has three of them so I think I can say that pretty safely. Our two largest cats are in the 10-12 pounds region and a Coon weighing twice that much isn't twice their dimensions or anywhere near it.
 
The pictured cat is around the size of a small tiger. And the picture has the signs of extensive manipulation all over it. Notice how the fur on the cat's back is in focus then as you look towards the t-**** the fur is out of focus then the t-shirt is in focus again? Absolute giveaway, camera lenses don't make something close to in focus then the mid-ground out of focus then the background back in focus again. They make things around their focal point in focus with things far enough before or behind it out of focus. Basic physics.

I know everyone loves to play at being Photoshop Detectives and expose camera trickery, but folks, the kitty is real.

I once had a client with some breed of semi-domesticated African cat that I had to look after. The thing was like a mini cheetah. Definitely not the sort of thing you'd go "pss pss" to and have sit on your lap, more like the kind of thing you'd walk around the neighborhood on a chain (if you were Tony Montana). It used to scare the crap out of me. It would be sitting on the kitchen floor and without warning leap (more like fly) up onto the top of the kitchen cabinets, apparently at odds with the basic laws of physics, and fix you with a contemptuous eye while you were preparing its very substantial dinner. Every time I went into that apartment I said my prayers.

When I was in High School, I went over to a friends house to partake in the human herbal equivalent of Kat Nip  .
This friend had a short haired cat that weighed in at around 25 pounds ...
The cat itself was huge and it wasn't all hair giving him a larger profile and look .
This cat looked just like what a cat would look like if there was a cat version of Brock Lesnar
To the cats credit , his temperament  was pretty friendly and social .
Once he had  decided I was OK he jumped on my lap ....
I have to admit , the weight didn't bother me as much as the fact that he had all his nails ...
Oh man , when he was done being all friendly . He jumped off my lap using full on Cat thrust ...
Back then I was young and I didn't cry like a little baby ..I took it like a man ...I had to ...
Now that I'm getting old , if that same type of thing ever happens again with a cat that size with nails .
I just might forget that I'm a man and just sob away ..

Considering the crap I see people sharing on Facebook it is reassuring to know that there are still some people who take time to question and investigate. 

That would be me, for finding the guy's Instagram page, lol!
