The Norwegian Forest Cat is strongly built and is similar in size to the Maine Coon.That's a BIG cat! I read somewhere that Maine coon adult males average about 28 pounds, females 22 pounds.

OMG, I hope that poor Jack makes it completely back to health. He looks absolutely miserable in the "after" picture, poor baby. That asinine airline should only thank G-d that it's not MY cat they lost. They would never recover from my wrath.
I have a show-quality Maine Coon, glorious in beauty and a true Velcro-cat. Her natural habitat is my lap, oooof. Coons can reach a bit over 20 lbs. for males, and a really big girl might go 14 lbs. My Bijou is a solid 10 lbs. Norwegian Forest Cats ("Wegies") are a close relative of Coons, but their lines are rounder, their back legs are a bit longer than the front legs, and they have a sweeter face. Coons generally have a more feral face with a squarer muzzle and a dip between their forehead and nose, are longer, their ears are set higher on their head and they are more rectangular.

Only the bottom one is MY fur-baby. The picture of the Norwegian Forest Cat (”Wegie”) is from a webpage about them. My other fur-baby is the gorgeous little devil-girl Kefira, also a tortie and white. She was a rescue girl, a tiny DSH with brains she must have inherited from Einstein.

Thank you. She is the ultimate love-bug. If she could, she’d declare Occupy Lap and just stay there.
