If you have ever laid eyes on a Main Coon cat, then you know that they are bigger than your average house cat. This is the story of one such feline that is almost the size of an adult bobcat. Samson is the adorable Main Coon cat who lives with his owner in New York.

Jonathan Zurbel adopted the cat from his brother. Samson needed more time than his brother was able to give him, so he gave him to Zurbel to take care of him. However, Samson isn’t a regular feline. He is a gentle giant who can barely fit in a normal-sized baby stroller. Check out the picture below.

Main Coon cats are the largest type of housecat you can find. They were originally bred to be able to withstand cold, harsh New England winters. Samson is large and hefty, even by normal Main Coon standards. In fact, Zurbel stated that he is the biggest Main Coon cat in all of the city.

Samson weighs 30 pounds and is about 4-feet-long. He is perfectly healthy and strong. His weight is not considered overweight at all by Main Coon standards. He has grown to the size of an adult bobcat and even has pointy ears that resemble the wild felines.

Of course, caring for a Main Coon cat is not easy. Samson goes through six cans of his favorite wet food every single day, and he eats a few bags of dry food per week. He also needs regular grooming sessions to keep his fur luxurious and neat. This costs about $120 a month to do.

Zurbel says that every penny is worth it. He claims that Samson is a tough but very sweet cat with a big personality. He told the website Love Meow that he is also very well behaved. He enjoys sleeping in various spots of the home while he keeps a watchful eye on his owner.

He will snuggle with Zurbel and accept stomach massages. He even plays fetch! Zurbel said that he will come into his bedroom every morning to wake him up. He purrs loudly and cuddles with his human owner as he accepts the love back.
