Finn is anything but a lightweight, but his owner loves to carry him around. This magnificent male cat has reached the astonishing length of 1.3 meters, which is the average height of a 9-year-old child.
An Unusual Sight in San Carlos
Finn and his owner, Natalie Bowman, live in San Carlos, a city about 20 kilometers south of San Francisco. When Natalie takes Finn for a walk on a leash around the neighborhood, passersby are always taken aback. Some even mistake him for a dog at first glance. “It’s really funny. They think it’s a dog, and then when they get closer, they exclaim, ‘Oh my god, it’s a cat!’ And they just adore him,” she told Good News Network.
From Kitten to Gentle Giant
Natalie adopted Finn in 2017 when he was just a three-and-a-half-month-old kitten. As a true Maine Coon, he quickly grew in both size and weight to become the gentle giant he is today.
A Loving and Humorous Companion
Despite his imposing size, Finn is incredibly gentle and affectionate. Natalie describes him as a “docile and curious, so funny and loving” companion. He constantly craves cuddles and can sometimes show signs of separation anxiety. On days when she senses he might struggle with her absence, Natalie takes Finn to her workplace.
Finn, with his striking orange coat, is also a big foodie. Natalie spends about $150 a month on his food, providing him with three to four meals a day.
A Sociable and Friendly Feline
When visitors come to Natalie’s home and encounter Finn for the first time, they often compare him to a lynx or a wildcat. However, he is the complete opposite of a wild creature. This big guy is very sociable and gets along wonderfully with Natalie’s other cat.
Meeting Finn is an experience that leaves a lasting impression on everyone. His size might be the first thing people notice, but it’s his sweet and friendly nature that they remember.
