What cat?


I am a cat virgin and love the look of the British Blue.I would like a cat but would like a big chunky one if possible. I have no idea about cat breeds so what breeds are big chunky as love the look of them?

Sometimes. Leia is a moggy; she had noticeably big ears, large paws and an unusually long tail as a kitten, and has grown into a very big cat...14 pounds and not fat.

Bengals and Bengal crosses are large cats; so are Maine Coons and Norweigian Forest Cats, but they are longhaired.
