I guess we’ll see! He is already a big boy, but surprisingly lean... only weighed around 10.5 lbs at his last vet visit (maybe 2 months ago).

Little daggers in need of a trim...
Oh my................... you either have a small finger, or......

I don't recall if you said how old Oswald actually is, but if he weighs 10.5 lb and under 2 years it's safe to say he's going to be big. My best advice is whenever he gets the zoomies... get out of his way.

I am a woman, but a larger-framed one; so no, my fingers aren't that small!

He just turned 2 in August, right around the same time he was weighed at the vet... and yes, even my dog gets the heck outta dodge when Oswald is frisky! He literally jumps on the couch and hides behind me, like HELP MAMA. Thankfully he's a fairly mellow cat, so the "zoomies" are usually short-lived.

Check out the difference between petite Bindi (who's around 11 years old) vs Oswald on the bag bed... he couldn't even fit inside, so I collapsed it for him.

Those are good comparison pics. The nice part about a big cat is, there's more of them to love on.

A cat's brain might be smaller than a walnut, but they can still be cool customers when it counts.

As cat guardians we need to remember that, as it is with computers, it's not the size of the brain that matters, but rather the efficiency of its processor.

They may have a smaller brain but my guess is the .8 of it is geared to manipulating their 2 legged servants. They sleep when they want, play when they want, pretty much eat when they want. We, on the other hand, run around trying to find food they'll eat, comfy beds for them put in the correct spots, and supply lots and lots of toys.


Bigger brains don't mean smarter.

Bigger brains don't mean smarter.
Along with nearly constant demands for physical and mental attention.

Actually I'd put the percentage at closer to .85 or .9 .
