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 think it's funny that tlw left the "r" out of t-shirt and got censored! 
 
I also think it's funny that James got fooled by some obvious PhotoShop manipulation!

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

Didn't think the cat was shopped ....that cat looks large , but most of it looks like hair ....and camera angle
I got this Zoom Q 3 thing that i use for making my vids and the focus on it is so off the charts ...it's crazy .
I have a u tube video someplace where my picking hand was the closest thing in the frame and it looks just like a Hellboy sized right hand was doing all the picking

Not really ..You want to know the truth ? just grab a garden hose , aim it at the cat and then take a picture

The cat is huge, the guy is a munchkin, the lens is very wide.
 
My bro has a Maine Coon and it's so big that it has trouble jumping distances that my tabby easily covers. Very thick, long fur and gravitationally challenged.
