Zeus, the giant Maine Coon Cat

This Giant Cat Amazes People On The Internet As He Can Reach The Countertop Like It’s No Big Deal

A giant cat recently shocked the internet by amazing people with its size. Zeus is a Maine Coon cat from Moldova who is a staggering 39 inches tall when standing on his back legs!

In an interview with Bored Panda, Daniela, Zeus’s mom, wrote: “People are always shocked when they see Zeus, both in person and online. Many don’t even know Maine Coons exist, so their reactions are priceless. Even people familiar with the breed are amazed by his size. Some of the viral comments like ‘he’s a dog,’ ‘a werewolf,’ ‘a forest spirit,’ or even ‘a toddler in a costume’ always make me smile!”

So, without further ado, we invite you to take a look at this black (almost) lion!









Same hat size ?

Might as well have thrown a beanbag chair at me.

My sister had a Maine Coon years ago that was huge compared to "normal" but tiny compared to the behemoth in the OP!

13. He looks so much like my last cat (except mine was not a Maine Coon). I haven't had another cat since.

The loss was too painful and I only had him for 3 years. One day I'll get another.
