We don't know about you, but we here at ICHC, can go on and on for days about how cute cats are. Of all kinds. Of all shapes and all sizes. We can go on for days about how cute tiny kittens are. And we can talk endlessly about how we love massive cats. And we can talk without pause about how much we love those little cats that can't grow, not because we like the condition, of course, but because we like itty bitty kitties, and those cats will furrever be that. 

That's why this cat just- caught us off guard. We were not ready for this combination of cuteness. We were not ready for a kitten that is born huge instead of tiny and keeps growing more and more and more instead of staying all small and dainty. We were not ready for the size. We were not ready to have so much cat to fall in love with so quickly. But we did, and now we're here, and you're about to fall in love too.

    The perspective in some of these pictures does not do this kitty justice. This kitty is huge. Enormous. And we so desperately want one. You thought a tiny kitten was cute, and it is, but this… this is cute on a whole other level. This is kitty shenanigans in an adult cat's size.

    Vibe this kitten weighs over 5 pounds already and he's only 14 weeks old. He's half the size of an adult cat and he hasn't even lost his baby teeth yet

    And although the thought of that is indeed mildly terrifying, it's also awesome. We have never seen a kitten this big. And you can't say that this is come special variety Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest cat. It's just a regular ol' kitten that is too big to contain itself.

    He's doing great! It's February 2020, so Half-n-Half and the rest of his litter are about two and a half years old now, and he's definitely stopped growing (he actually lost half a pound and weighs around 16.5lbs). reminder that I have a cat blog for all of them @she-nya-nigans !

    she-nya-nigans ppl in the notes discounting my cat's large size smh Half-n-Half is like the 6'1" of cats. A common enough size in many areas that it's not completely unusual, nothing outrageously tall, but still big enough that it makes you go "oh dang you're tall". and it's even funnier because Half-n-Half's sisters are like the 5'2" of cats and his brothers are like the 5'8" of cats, so I can really see their size differences clearly
