Meet NYC's Largest Cat, The 28 Pound Samson

A Brooklyn feline named Samson weighs in at a huge 28 pounds, making him NYC's largest known cat. A burgeoning Instagram star, Samson has over 11,000 followers!

“He’s the [largest] cat in the city, and I welcome any challengers to step up,” says Samson’s owner, Jonathan Zurbel, 42, of the 4-year-old purebred Maine coon, who is an impressive 4 feet in length.

Caring for such a colossal kitty isn’t easy. He goes through up to six cans of wet food a day and several bags of dry food every week. He also goes through nearly 4 pounds of litter a week, and requires a $120 grooming every few months to look his fluffy best. Check out the full article for more images of Sasmson!
