need help ID-ing breed
Hi... many years ago a friend of mine (who I've now lost touch with) had a neighbour who had a pair of cats: shorthairs, big black and white patches (i.e. non-spotty or tabby-striped). My memory is so-so on the tails; I'm pretty sure they were non-fluffy, but I really don't recall if they were normal length or short. The most remarkable thing about these cats is that they were *huge*. We're talking head nearly knee height. They were the biggest cats I've ever seen. After looking around a little on the web I haven't been able to find a picture of anything like them. Usually it's because the other breeds have a fluffy tail. Can anyone determine if they any specific breed? Or just accidental that they were so big? (Pardon my terminology as I am no expert on cats.) Thanks from Cris -- |

Our two biggest shelter cats ever were from a cat house - perhaps a result of inbreeding. |
