澳洲女子雀特飼養的緬因貓魯伯特，可能是全世界最大的貓。即將滿3歲的魯伯特（圖），體重9公斤，體形是一般貓咪的3倍大，但專家認為牠可能才長到一半而已。緬因貓原產於美國緬因州，特色是體形巨大，從鼻子到尾巴長度逾1公尺。而魯伯特的體型更是緬因貓中的佼佼者，加上一身蓬鬆長毛，讓牠看起來更大隻。翻攝英國《每日郵報》http://goo.gl/csXHT

The giant breed Maine coon is only half its possible size at nearly three years old, and is expected to put on another 11lbs.
