Meet Finn, the Giant Cat Who Grew to the Size of a 9-Year-Old Child

A Cat of Unusual Proportions
Finn is far from a lightweight, but his owner loves carrying him around. This magnificent male cat has reached an incredible length of 1.3 meters, about the average height of a 9-year-old child.



Living in San Carlos, a city in California about 20 kilometers south of San Francisco, Finn and his owner, Natalie Bowman, often attract attention. When Natalie takes Finn for a walk on a leash, passersby are always astonished. Some even mistake him for a dog at first glance. “It’s really funny,” Natalie shares with Good News Network. “They think he’s a dog, and then when they get closer, they’re like, ‘Oh my God, it’s a cat.’ And they love him.”

Natalie adopted Finn in 2017 when he was just a 3.5-month-old kitten. As a true Maine Coon, he quickly grew in both length and weight, becoming the gentle giant he is today.

A Gentle and Affectionate Companion
Despite his imposing size, Finn is as gentle and affectionate as they come. Natalie describes him as a “docile and curious, very funny and loving” companion. Finn constantly seeks cuddles and can sometimes exhibit signs of hyper-attachment or separation anxiety. On days when she feels he might struggle with her absence, Natalie takes him to work with her.
