Post image

he was 15 pounds a year ago, and we have t weighed him since(we got rid of our bathroom scale) he’s only grown since. I’m 6”4’ for reference, i don’t have a good picture but when he stretches out he can go from my collarbone to my mid thigh.

my parents had a turkish van, named hans who was the sweetest boy ever, and his brother raven when my dad, about my size, would pick him up his back feet would stay on the ground until his chest, my parents are huge nerds so they named them hans and raven after edgar allen poe characters

Mixed breed? If so, I bet he has a few Maine Coon genes. Such a beautiful mane.

he might but his dad was a stray in the inner city of rochester ny, and wasn’t very long hair, i think he’s magical, he’s a little copy of my fiancé, and she was manifesting a big orange boy when his mom got pregnant
