Meet Samson, the Maine coon cat that got big in over the internet. Literally! The cat is huge! She weighs at a whopping 30 lbs and is 4 feet long.

According to an article from ThePoochTimes, Jonathan Zurbel from New York adopted Samson from his brother. Apparently, his brother had a hectic work schedule and couldn’t take care of him.

Samson looks like a stuffed-toy that came to life and could hardly fit in a normal-sized stroller. As a Maine coon, Samson’s breed was the largest variety of housecats.

They were also bred to handle the harsh New England winter. That’s where Samson’s fluffy fur comes from! However, Samson is quite large even for Maine coon standards.

Samson’s owner, Jonathan Zurbel even challenged every single resident of New York: ” He’s the largest cat in the city, and I welcome any challengers to step up”.

In an interview with Love Meow, Zurbel said that Samson isn’t overweight or fat. He proudly stated that Samson is just a strong, husky, and sturdy cat.

Samson, now 6 years old, consumes six cans of wet food daily. In addition, he could eat several bags of dry food each week.

Aside from his food, grooming for someone requires about $120 once every few months to keep his fur in top condition.

However, his owner said that everything he does for Samson was worth it. “Samson is a very sweet but a tough cat, who fits the term gentle giant very well“, said Zurbel.
