Large Cat Species

Valeriy K

It's a very often question to hear - what's the biggest breed of cats?

The answers are very different. In the Hit Parade, the big cats are involved in more than a dozen species, most commonly known as British, Siberia, Scottish, often Persian. At the same time, hands are usually spread to a distance that any former fisherman would envy. For the sake of simplicity, let's agree on the weight of the species. We'll be the middle-aged representative of the species, taking into account that cats are bigger than cats.

• American Bobteil - 5-6 kg
• Bengali 5-6
• British 4.8-5.7
• Main Kun 7.3 - 8.8
• Octic 5.5 - 6.6
• Ragdol 6.3 - 7.5
• Siberia 5.0 - 6.0
• Tiffany 5.0 - 6.0
• Scottish Wislow 5.0 - 6.0

If the average cat weighs 3-4 kilos, it's really big cats. A marked breakthrough in the fight for rank the largest species domestic cats lead Ragdol and Mayn Coon. There are also very large representatives, up to 12 and over kilograms, so Big Ragdol may be the heavier Mein Kuna.

There's a few other big cats on the rumour: Homeland Fish, Savannah and Asher.

Let's start with cats. Asher♪ A few years ago, there was a rumour that in 2006 the Lifestyle Pets biotech company (which later claimed that it had managed to remove the completely non-allergic species of cats - Allerka) had been removed on the basis of the genes of the African Serb, the Asian leopard cat and the conventional home cat, with a new breed reaching a weight of 14 kilograms. However, it was later confirmed that Asher was a well-known species of Savannah.

Savannah. The species has been known since the early 1980s. It's really a very large breed of cats, but it's only conditional. The fact is that the breeding uses African hearts and other species, most often Bengal. When the parents of two different species make a third-style kitten, it gives a little... Let's say it's pusy.

The domestic fish is a pond in America at about the same time. Got it when you cross a home cat and a Canadian rat. To date, not all felinological associations have been recognized, although cats are large, the weight may exceed 10 kilograms.
