If you are an experienced cat owner, you might be looking for a new challenge in your "feline world".
Size is one of the many factors that are crucial for owners when adopting a cat due to the space in the household and the owner's abilities. 
Some cat breeds can be much bigger and larger than others, so stay with us, and let's take a look at the biggest cat breeds!

Top 10 Largest Domestic Cat Breeds

# Ragdoll

Ragdoll
Ragdolls are large cats that reach mature size up to the 4th year. Females can weigh up to 15 pounds, while males can weigh up to 20 pounds. 
People often call them "puppy-like cats" because they tend to follow people around and are sensitive to handling. Besides this, almost all Ragdolls have magnificent blue eyes.

# Savannah Cat 

Savannah Cat 
Our second choice was the Savannah, which is a hybrid of the Siamese and an African wild cat (African Serval) that can weigh up to 25 pounds. The tallest Savannah, according to the Guinness World Record, is 19.1 inches. 
This big buddy will enjoy cuddling with you, and it is extremely friendly. 
However, owning this breed largely depends on the state you are in because some states have restrictive laws on hybrid cat breeds. An interesting fact is that Australia banned the importation of this breed because it is believed that it can threaten the country’s native wildlife.

Ragamuffins are very friendly, lovable, and have a gentle nature. This is another furry buddy from our list that is large but friendly at the same time.

# Chausie

Chausie
Chausies can weigh up to 16 pounds, but this does not stop them from running and jumping. It is a hybrid of a domestic and wild jungle cat. Don't be fooled by their "wild appearance" because they are social cats that like to be surrounded by people.

# Norwegian Forest Cat

Norwegian Forest Cat
Norwegian Forest Cat is another large house cat from our list that can weigh up to 20 pounds and is even bigger. 
Did you know this large cat breed was nearly extinct during World War ll, but breeding programs helped increase their number? That is why many people can enjoy a playful buddy with long hind legs, a bushy tail, and a sturdy body.
Be aware that this cat is excellent at climbing due to its strong claws.

# Maine Coon 

Maine Coon 
Maine Coon is a large domesticated cat breed originating from North America. They can weigh up to 20 pounds, but don't be surprised if these "big buddies" enjoy daily cuddles with you. 
Did you know that the biggest Maine Coon in the world had 48.5 inches? Yes, it’s true, and this Maine Coon has a name - Stewie. 
The myth is that this cat breed is a hybrid of a cat and a raccoon. Although their fluffy appearance resembles raccoons, these two species cannot interbreed.
