. . . and that would be "Stewie" or Mymains Stewart Gilligan, a beautiful silver MC from Reno, NV! Sadly he passed from cancer in March of this year. Not certain of his weight, but it was under 30 lbs. Our own MC male Dakota, is 19 lbs. If interested, you can find more info on Stewie by googling or checking out his fb page. He was quite the ambassador for felines everywhere and will be greatly missed! A fine MC specimen if there ever was one - RIP Stewie.

MC-becca thanks for posting, it was a silver MC, what a shame that he has passed, cancer is such a horrid disease in both animals and humans, totally non discerning. Your Dakota (love the name) is certainly no small cat either what age is he ? See all the weights so far are over the average, thats nice to know.

Loving hearing more about all your MC's.

Thx Chris! Dakota was 19 lbs last time I weighed him, and he is now 6 years old. He really is a wiggle-worm, so we don't weigh him very often - though he seems to be filling out more now. Maybe we'll weigh him this week-end and post the results. As for length, I don't think we will EVER get that number

The loss of Stewie was devastating to his owner, but she continues on with his legacy and is active with the local humane/cat rescue groups!

LOL Dakota sounds like a real character mc-becca, a proper wiggly worm !!! lol It would be interesting to know his weight now though...........mind the oven gloves !!! lol

What a wonderful thing for Stewie's mum to do, rescues are so lucky to have people like her x

As I've said elsewhere, our Oscar weighed in at 11.5kg in January at the vet's here - that's a hair over 25lbs.
We think he's grown a bit since then, but he must stop soon, surely?

Shimba weighs in at 10.70kg & hopefully as he is coming up to 6 that is it,plenty heavy enough when he curls up on your lap & far too heavy for me to be able to hold him out at shows anymore bless him so won't let him see that you are well beating him Oscar,don't envy your parents when you choose to step on them.....x

Another big cat, Shimba must be a big boy to, oh I am loving all these big cat stories !!

It's tricky actually conveying Oscar's size via a photo and I'll get Mrs Django to take a photo of me holding him. I'm six feet tall and not scrawny, so that might give some indication.
Meanwhile, here he is just now looking a tad watchful...
A hare came around the house earlier and he may be scenting that.
