This article is for those who want to get a large cat. Go ahead and check these largest cat breeds out!

#1 Maine Coon

Maine Coon is a plus-size cat, adorned with a beautiful neck ruff, dainty britches, tufted feet that resemble snowshoes and a big, bushy tail that it can wrap around itself when it naps is likely the oldest cat breed native to America.

#2 Savannah cat

Savannah Cats are characterized by their long, slender necks, triangular heads and large, wide ears that sit on top of their heads. They also have longer-than-average legs. The Savannah is a hybrid cat breed. It is a cross between a serval and a domestic cat.

#3 Bengal cat

The Bengal cat is a highly intelligent breed characterized by its wild, leopard-like appearance. This cat is a domesticated cat breed created from hybrids of domestic cats, the Asian leopard cat and the Egyptian Mau.

#4 Norwegian Forest

Norwegian Forest cats are known for their fluffy coats, large builds, and social dispositions. Despite the wild years in the forests of Norway—or perhaps because of it—they would much rather cuddle than prowl.

#5 American Bobtail

American Bobtails are loving and incredibly intelligent cats possessing a distinctive wild appearance. At heart, the American Bobtail is a self-assured, affectionate cat who loves his family and is friendly toward guests.

#6 Pixiebob cat

The Pixie-bob is a breed of domestic cat claimed to be the progeny of naturally occurring bobcat hybrids. This unusual cat looks wild, but his behavior is mild. It is said to be confident, social and active.

#7 Chausie cat

One of the largest cat breeds, the Chausie is a mixed breed made up of a jungle cat from the swamps of south-central Asia and the Abyssinian. Particularly developed within this breed is the trait of not being able to stand being alone, enjoying spending time with its master.

#8 Ragdoll cat

The Ragdoll cat breed is large, powerful, and imposing with distinctive markings. They're born pale, and their coats gradually darken into their permanent hues as they grow older. Aside from its plush fur and large body, the Ragdoll is known for its bright blue eyes.

#9 Ragamuffin cat

Ragamuffins are big, affectionate cats who love following people around and are suited for nearly any home. They are cousins to the Ragdoll and share many of the common traits of the breed. By the way, despite their long, luxurious fur, Ragamuffin cats don’t actually need all that much grooming.

#10 Selkirk Rex

A naturally curly coat makes this big domestic cat particularly unique. It is tolerant and easygoing. The cats are also known for demanding attention, but they are generally relaxed and laid-back.

There was no information on just how big they are. 10, 15 or twenty pounds. Whith out that information it is just pictures of pretty cats.

We have a wonderful Ragdoll named Elton John. They are real sweet hearts! He's now 16 but you would never know it. He is active and still has beautiful fur. I don't know if they all pick their special person but Elton chose me and follows me everywhere. He's a real love bug!!

I love all cats and have four ordinary, but extraordinary, common house cats. Of the ones in this article, I like the Norwegian Forest Cat the most. My own cats are two orange tabbies, a black and white tuxedo cat and a black one.

I’m a cat loving woman who’s had them all her life I rescue them, then spoil them! I have 3 now. I’ve had as many as 6 at one time, but that was years ago.
