How big is your Coon?

[Mainestreet]

A big factor in my choosing a Maine Coon is how big they get; I love big cats! How big is yours and does he/she get a surprised reaction from people who visit your home?

Ours was 11lb at 8 months old, she is now 9, though she was snipped last week- so I am guessing she lost about 1oz of fur

Yep! Ours gets lots of compliments & questions & "woahs". She's over 14lbs now at 14 months.

Well, Hank weighs 2.54kg now which is about 5.4lbs. My brother in law came today and saw him for the first time and he said that he's bigger than his 12 year old moggy, *proud* he does look like a full grown domestic cat but you know he's only a kitten from his face ... bless...

can't wait to get my boy... he's only little now... 5 weeks old.

Heheh, its gonna seem like an age waiting for him but Im sure once he is there.. time will start to pass really quickly. Feels like yesterday that we drove and picked ours up and yet now.. three weeks have gone past!

In terms of how big?
Loki (female) - at a size I would expect.
Storvenn (male) - growing by the hour

The difference between the two made me post on here and ask if there could be something wrong with Loki. Turns out its a male / female thing and thats just how some cats are.

This is Storvenn at 14 weeks.

Most people are very surprised when they see Willow (8,5 kgs) or Indy (7kgs). They are both adult Maine Coon males, and seem huge to most people who aren't used to seeing big cats like this. Especially Willow is quite impressive, and everyone who comes to visit can't help but saying how beautiful he is.
Esme is still a kitten, she weighs about 3kgs now. If she continues to grow as fast as she's doing now; and if she's going to take after her parents and grandparents, she's going to be a huge cat as well - even for a girl. If she follows her mother's and grandmother's example, she'll turn out to be about 6 to 7 kgs as well...

I suspect that owning a tiger is out of the question but, maybe an Ocelot weighing 25-35 pounds. Salvador Dali was often photographed with his pet ocelot lol*Roy [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocelot"]Ocelot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Ocelot.jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Ocelot.jpg/220px-Ocelot.jpg"@@AMEPARAM@@commons/thumb/2/28/Ocelot.jpg/220px-Ocelot.jpg[/ame]

Beau just turned 8 years old and he weighs in at 19lbs! And yes, everyone always comments on how huge he is! Even though he's big and heavy, I don't think he's fat. His diet is pretty healthy and we don't give him a lot of treats so he can keep his figure & impress the ladies.
