It's called barrel distortion (caused by a wide angle lens) and makes the focus of the image seem a lot bigger than things even a tiny bit further away.
When I was a kid in Maine, this scrawny little kitten showed up on our doorstep. We took him in and fed him and he grew up. And kept growing. He ended up around 30 pounds. When he stretched out in the sun he was longer than our yardstick. And he was fluffy and looked BIGGER. God I loved that thicc ass fucking cat.
My family pet was a Maine coon mix. I measured him once when he was all stretched out, head to end of tail, almost 4 feet. One of the roommates I had sometime after moving out had an 8 pound female cat, I thought it was a runt, but the roommate said her cat was full-grown. My family's large fluffy yowler passed away recently, still the smartest cat I've known. And the only one that yowled like a fucking human baby sometimes.
My uncle had a maine coon named Gerby. When my uncle was in hospice care Gerby never left his side. My aunt had to move Gerby's bowls and litter box into the bedroom.
Maine coons tend to put on a resting bish face at times. But i’d walk up and kiss that thing on the cheek without a second thought. They’re people pleasers with a small side of sassy.
My parents had a Main Coon from birth and that thing was the size of a regular house cat at like 2 months. He ended being almost 4 feet long, and weighted almost 50lbs when he passed. Cool part was the cat would only poop outside. Occasionally he'd use the litter box to pee, but he was naturally house trained to go outside without any initiative.
I had one like that that peed and pooped outside too. My new one doesn't go outside though. He is a great mouse, bug catcher, and loves chirpi g at birds through the window. He would kill all the songbirds if he did go outside.
Okay, I'm not even sure if this is biologically possible, but is that a main coon crossbred with a lynx or something? Or maybe a genetic mutation? This picture is melting my brain
I have three of these giant fluffy bastards. They are smarter then you would think and sweet 99% of the time. But piss one off and there will be blood.
My mom has a mainecoon who's rather smol for her breed, but she has all the mannerisms of a big cat and it's fucking hilarious. Those big squinty "I'm gonna eat you" eyes. She always lays down with one arm under her and the other one stretched out as far as it goes. I've never seen a housecat do that before, she looks like the lions at the zoo
Can maine coons breed with lynxes? (With help?) This looks like an albino lynx hybrid more than a maine coon to me. But I admit my lack of feline expertise.
Looking at other pictures of him it appears a lot of this is forced perspective, also that woman is short. Based on other pictures, he appears to be a bit smaller than a bobcat. So its still big compared to other house cats, its not the size of a large breed dog like this photo makes it seem.
These pics are all shot to get clicks - its a 26 lb cat, I had a 22-23lb cat and it was a normal looking car, just like a touch bigger in all dimension...not this mountain lion looking fakery.
You're being downvoted, but I tend towards thinking you're right. The current largest Maine Coone in the world is Barivel, and he doesn't look anywhere near this large:
This cat probably sounds like a generator when it purrs
Says " mothafucka Im hungry" in Samuel L Jacksons voice.
Having had Maine Coons as a kid, can confirm. They have a wonderful, insanely loud purr.
This cat is Ron Prrrrlman!
Comparing the width of her arm to the width of her face, this photo has skewed size perspective (presumably intentional effect with lens choice).
I was thinking idling dirt bike, but this checks out too.
If that cat is anything like my boys, we'd die in our sleep. They are big chest surfers.
Before that bastard cancer took my Maine Coon from me, I can say he was properly named Purr Monster.
You could hold his ears and pretend it's a motorcycle.
Small diesel backhoe 🙏
That’s obviously a big cat, but there is definitely some wonky perspective going on here…
It's called barrel distortion (caused by a wide angle lens) and makes the focus of the image seem a lot bigger than things even a tiny bit further away.
Correct. More photos here
Agreed, the woman's arm is larger than her head
Agreed. I have a pic of my wife holding my dog and he looked enormous vs actual size. Was just the perspective of the pic.
It looks even bigger when you zoom in!
Every Maine Coon picture has this annoying distortion.
"This woman's upper arm is so long many people think it's a torpedo at first!"
Thank you! The OP Picture makes it look the size of a Tiger FFS.
Look at the size of her arm!
Okay, thank you. So, what even is the big deal? That looks l like a pretty normal sized cat. Large-ish at best.
I think it looks more like a puma
We need sauce.
Yeah this is worse than my dick pics smh...
"That's a nice fucking kitty right there!"
This pic pops up all over reddit a few times a year.
Right? Like why cant there be ONE picture that accurately conveys its size?? they all make it look unrealistically big
So true, right? Owner is Yuliya Minina from Stary Oskol, Russia. We needn’t say more.
Her arm looks 4 feet long to the elbow in the picture, so obviously the cat really isn't that big.
Yeah, if your ellbow is as big as your head than you are forcing perspective a bit too much.
Fishermen have been perfecting it for years
Yeah her arm is hella long
No, her arms really are 7 feet long.
Peter Jackson would be proud
Definitely but they are fucking huge. My friend has one and he’s easily 2.5 times the size of my boy who is a big ass farm cat.
I found Kefir's Instagram account for more pictures and videos of him. It's under the name Yuliyamnn.
Yeah seeing the other pics? I have Maine coon and he’s easily this size. 25 pounds of go fuck yourself love me or perish.
Gonna need a banana for scale.
Name checks out
she's actually a midget (hobbit sized)
Not really though she has an Instagram (can see it from many different angles)
It’s a fucking khajiit
Dude is trying to sell me Skooma
I don't know if he has wares yet, but there's a definite business opportunity here.
Kefir knows many things... most of which are not true
Khajiit has wares, if you have coin

😂 this is a great inverse perspective.
Have you encountered a Munchkin cat yet?
My family pet was a Maine coon mix. I measured him once when he was all stretched out, head to end of tail, almost 4 feet.

It’s all fun and cute until that thing gets pissed and starts mauling people because it’s high in catnip.
Maine coons are usually pretty chilled out cats.
Murder mittens XXL lol
Maine coons are actually one of the most docile laid back cats ever. They only really attack if you are severely aggrivating or threatening them.
it would be an honor to get mauled by Kefir
Had one cat that was a bit smaller than this, somewhat of a temperamental little shit; no idea when he would just randomly bite your ankles.
I hope to god that thing is an outdoor cat. Otherwise that litter box must have the entire house smelling like cat, shit.
Tripping on Wild Mushrooms 🍄
Or they tried to give it a bath
I've never in my life seen a cat get aggressive from cat nip... wtf?? Lol
I think I know when I'm looking at Ron Perlman in his furry suit, Thank you very much!
You're not far off
ronperlmancats
Ron Purrlman.
Imagine breaking into a house and you’re met with a goddamn attack cougar
Unfortunately it would more than likely greet you at the door.
I've seen that video but she had a lot less fur.
A dog?? Thats this creepy Donny Darko bunny I swear
Haha! That's who I saw, too.
Frank.
People mistake that for a dog? That there is a fucking Lynx!
My uncle had a maine coon named Gerby. When my uncle was in hospice care Gerby never left his side. My aunt had to move Gerby's bowls and litter box into the bedroom.
Oh no ): That poor kitty. He deserved a much longer life.
Khajiit has wares, if you have coin.
Video here. So a little less forced perspective use.
oh yeah it's not THAT big. Still a bigass cat but one of mine is 8kg if it was a male cat it could have been as big I'd guess.
Screw the cat , look at her elbow! She could split logs with that thing!
Ron pearlman
Her elbow is as big as her head.
Camera trick, you can tell because her arm vs face size.....
Why does he look so angry. What did she do to him
Maine coons tend to put on a resting bish face at times. But i’d walk up and kiss that thing on the cheek without a second thought. They’re people pleasers with a small side of sassy.
He got a real fuck around and find out face.
I assume that when he jumps up onto the counter, it just collapses, no?
Coons are big. It is known.
Bro thats a house puma
I was going to ask why he looks so judgy and then realized….it’s a cat, that’s why.
I thought it was an albino lynx at first!
I'm calling bs as well. That's some kind of wild, predator cat. Maybe a lynx or a bobcat.
I want that.
are you talking about the cat?
Khaajit has wares.
That cat oozes fuck around and find out.
I have a half Maine coon. He's a solid boy. About 20-21 lbs. Polydactyl as fuck. 7 toes all around. He's the best.
My parents had a Main Coon from birth and that thing was the size of a regular house cat at like 2 months. He ended being almost 4 feet long, and weighted almost 50lbs when he passed. Cool part was the cat would only poop outside. Occasionally he'd use the litter box to pee, but he was naturally house trained to go outside without any initiative.
I had one like that that peed and pooped outside too. My new one doesn't go outside though. He is a great mouse, bug catcher, and loves chirpi g at birds through the window. He would kill all the songbirds if he did go outside.
Biggest pussy I ever seen...
girlswithhugepussies
Supposedly weighs 27.5 pounds. Average house at weighs about 10 pounds so that’s pretty impressive!
Cat does not like it.
That’s not a cat that’s Kevin Hart in his furry costume
I can't get my head over the fact that there are a quite a lot of large cats and people confuse it with dogs ?? Because of the white fur ?
This has to be funny camera angles, or photoshopped. The way it appears that cat is the size of a cougar.
That things about to steal Christmas
Okay, I'm not even sure if this is biologically possible, but is that a main coon crossbred with a lynx or something? Or maybe a genetic mutation? This picture is melting my brain
It's just an optical illusion from forced perspective. The cat isn't really that big.
is that real??
looks real but as other has mentioned -- pic is probably some sort of force perspective. If you look at her arm it too looks bigger.
It looks like a dude in a catsuit
I have three of these giant fluffy bastards. They are smarter then you would think and sweet 99% of the time. But piss one off and there will be blood.
Honestly, that looks like the kind of animal George R. R. Martin would write about.
My mom has a mainecoon who's rather smol for her breed, but she has all the mannerisms of a big cat and it's fucking hilarious. Those big squinty "I'm gonna eat you" eyes. She always lays down with one arm under her and the other one stretched out as far as it goes. I've never seen a housecat do that before, she looks like the lions at the zoo
AbsoluteUnits
I mean at that point its a tiger again
Falkor!
That cat just said my bike is his.
Why does that cat look like it's about to [email protected]#£ you up any second now? That's a hard stare, even for a cat
Not sure if the person who took this pic is still alive?
When you need a cat to pet you.
Can maine coons breed with lynxes? (With help?) This looks like an albino lynx hybrid more than a maine coon to me. But I admit my lack of feline expertise.
I feel like id be sleeping with one eye open
If he was mine he'd be named Deebo based on that look alone.
Thats a liger. Not a cat
So that's a Furry
He looks like a deranged Easter bunny
It kinda looks like a white version of Jim Carey’s Grinch
Looking at other pictures of him it appears a lot of this is forced perspective, also that woman is short. Based on other pictures, he appears to be a bit smaller than a bobcat. So its still big compared to other house cats, its not the size of a large breed dog like this photo makes it seem.
That’s Ron Pearlman
Big Kitty
Cat looks like he’s going to tell you why he’s the strongest
Ron Perlman cat
Keifer Sutherland. He's a Strawberry Blonde.
My maine coon mix is 22lbs of beefcake. He also walks around like gorilla.
Plot twist: normal size cat being held by a halfling.
Ron perlman cats are ugly af
Imagine that thing’s farts, goddamn
Who mistakes that for a dog though ?
You gonna die. It’s gonna eat you.
Holy hairball!
I don’t like the way it’s looking at me. It feels as if I owe it lunch money.
Jerry, she’s got man arms!
Thats the video if you want to see. He looks like an average maine coon cat but these are still very large cats.
I saw that picture earlier and could not believe it
Can't even imagine how big the litter box is
AHH BIG PUSSY
That’s one big angry pussy.
You ought to see it when it’s wet
Girl that is a lion
i wanna see its claws.. is it like Woverine's?
I would love to touch/hold/smell that pussy
False. That's Jake Gyllenhal from Donnie Darko
False. Jake Gyllenhaal played Donnie. Frank was played by James Duval.
girlswithhugepussies
Also
He looks like he could EAT a dog
He is badass. Mom looking pretty good too.
Rumour has it she has a petty big pussy.
huuman is clearly Kacy Catanzaro
These pics are all shot to get clicks - its a 26 lb cat, I had a 22-23lb cat and it was a normal looking car, just like a touch bigger in all dimension...not this mountain lion looking fakery.
I hate furrys

Looks like a costume.
That's a demon from hell!
How old are you
Coming to your grade school soon...
My cats been mistaken for a small dog, but he’s hardly that big! A solid 17-18lbs, but I swear his paws feel as ginormous as this cats! Lmao.
Average male cat is 10 pounds. Your cat is very big.
I swear this was a villan in "The Chronicles of Narnia" hahaha
Kitten mittens are a must for your own safety
That’s a khajit actually
Murder floof!!!
Looks like a albino lynx
Woman have big pussy

Werecat
Kefir is a spitting image of Ron Perlman!
Probably need a snow shovel and a back brace to clean his litter box.
[удалено]

Ron Perlman cat
Looks like the Rabbit from Donnie Darko

Perfectly named!

Good boy

He has wares, if you have coin.
Someone is fooling you, that's a guy in a cat costume!
That cat looks like he could punch you in the face and steal your wallet.
