Maine Coon cats are beloved for their gentle giant nature and often steal the spotlight online thanks to their large size, fluffy coats, and striking appearance. With their impressive stature, Maine Coons are among the biggest domestic cat breeds. Kefir, a Maine Coon living with his owner Yulia Minina in Stary Oskol, Russia, has recently gained online fame. This colossal feline is so sizable that he is frequently mistaken for a dog.
This is Kefir, a cat that got famous because of its enormous size
Kefir got his name from the fermented dairy drink due to his milky white fur that instantly captivated his owner when she first saw him at a cattery. He has seamlessly blended into the family, even claiming a spot at the dinner table and preferring fresh meat over kibble.
The Maine Coon cat weighs 26.5 pounds and is expected to grow even bigger, which is one of the characteristics of this breed
Despite his imposing size, Kefir remains down-to-earth. His owner describes him as having a gentle disposition and being “very intelligent and consistently calm.” Unlike some cats, he enjoys being the center of attention and delights in receiving affectionate pets from both friends and acquaintances. These playful and sociable traits make the Maine Coon breed an excellent choice for families seeking a loving and sociable pet.
