I am the proud owner
 

of a 20 pound white cat named Brando.

He came from Animal Friends and took all of three hours last night to decide it was a good idea to sleep in my bed.

This is the first night he's exploring the rest of my apartment and he keeps running down the stairs to my front door and meowing - what's up with that? It's not like he went outside at the shelter, so maybe he's smelling the aroma of the tons o' dogs that are in our neighborhood or my downstairs neighbor's hamster.

if I can figure out how to post pictures, I'll put them in the cute kittie thread. :)

enjoy your new pal...
you'll learn something new every day.

He sounds cute. I love big cats.

Oh wow, congratulations!

Big cats are awesome. My cat Moortje was about 20 pounds and he would walk on me to wake me up. That wasn't pleasant. Have fun with him!

Congrats on your newest family member, big cats are cool. One of my coworkers has one who is sweet as pie and about 26 lbs.:)

Congratulations, 33girl!!!

Congratulations, Marlon!!!

My brother once had a Maine Coon Cat. When that sucker sat in your lap, you knew it!! As it is, Marlon is larger than my Buffy (the Bichon Frise)!! :eek:

Maybe they could get together for a play date?

Wow, that's a cat that could rival my Ralph Tucker for size. Last weigh in, the vet was surprised at him, she did a BMI, and was shocked because he isn't fat, he's just BIG!

I have a theory that he has some bobcat in him somewhere in the line.

But aren't the big cats the sweetest ones? Like, they know they can handle themselves, so they don't have to compensate?

Congrats!! I love big cats... they are the sweetest!

20 pounds is that big?

n e way congrats!!

Congratulations!! A new pet is always exciting!! Be sure to post a picture so we can all see!

Congrats :) I've had my cat for 15 years and I love her. Cats are fabulous
