What does a 700lb gorilla and a 7lb house cat have in commo

That appears to be a Norsk Skogkatt, i.e. a Norwegian forest cat.

The Norwegian Forest Cat (lifeinnorway.net)

As it happens, I was reading a Kindle book last night in which a skogkatt was brought into one of the short stories as a "hero" who helped find the source of the plague to be a rat infestation of four city garbage dumps. This took place in the city of Sohl, Thuringia-Franconia circa 1635.

I fancy a Savanah cat. (I haven't told her yet) 

 

Cross between a domestic cat and a Serval. Illegal to own a Serval of course so this is the next best thing.

That woman must be also very petite.

Yeah and it's a small bean bag chair, and a tiny xmas tree behind it... Did you watch the video, or just look at the picture ?

They both get to sit wherever they want to sit.

One of our cats has taken a liking to my wife's chair in the living room.  When she is sitting in it my wife won't disturb her but sits in a different chair.

You may be right, Noel. At least, the story below is supportive evidence 🙂

Yes, I did.  I guess I would just have to see that cat in person to fully appreciate how big it is (trees & bean bag chairs come in different sizes, so without a yardstick near the cat I have trouble trying to scale the video).  I'm having trouble getting my head around how big the cat's head is 😱

Check the wood flooring.  If you think it's 2", then everything in the video is extremely small... it's looking 6"-8" to me, which makes that cat freakin huge!

And I thought my Blackie was a big cat at 10 pounds.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

Where does that cat sleep?  Any dang place he wants to! 🐱

I never knew that about cat's Martin.  I'm going to look for it on my cats.

Yeah, thanks for that tidbit Martin. I’ve been aware of those for years, seeing them not only cats but also on the lions & tigers at the zoo here, now I know they’re actually a “thing” and have a name & purpose.
