Are all ginger's big cats?


Are all ginger bigs cats once fully grown?
I've known a fair few gingers, gingers with white markings and white with ginger markings etc over the years and all have been huge-ruled by the late Balderick as he sure was a whopper! and his son who is still very much alive and a rich red tabby is huge too....and every other ginge i've known has been of a fair size too, same as for ones i see on their travels.
So my question, are all ginger mogs big generally?
If so, why is this?

My Sam was almost twice the size Cassie is now Luke, he really was huge and solid!! Most of the gingers I have see have been big as well......not sure why that is though. You haven't got your eye on the new ginger kit have you Luke?

Here's Sam, you can probably see what a beefy cat he was!

I think most toms are big boys. B&C are the same age but Chester is considerably bigger (although Bentley is a solid citizen!).
Our neighbour, Wallace, is a lovely big orange boy; his colouring is very similar to Chester

Ginger is a big boy, and I think our childhood ginger was as well. There is a neighbourhood ginger that is big - but mine and him are the only gingers in the neighbourhood.

Re: Are all ginger's big cats?


This little lady is called Lunar and wighs about 6lbs wet through, unfortunately it is a hissy missy feral disguised as a Bengal tiger with claws to match!

her brother is 3 times her size though and a human stalker - same treatment but this girl is all hissyness till treats appear then she is a wee poppet.

How do I attach her photo - then you can see outr little poppet!
