The Biggest Cat in Samoa

This might come as a big surprise you to many, but I, well, have this thing for cats. See, I love them. I can't help it. I just do it.
On Wednesday this past week, I went to Coconuts Beach Resort. Ostensibly it was for the swearing in ceremony for the latest group of Peace Corps volunteers. The real reason (don't tell anybody I told you) is that I wanted to photograph this cat.
She's really incredible. She probably weighs close to 30 pounds and looks like something out of the Pliestocene. I don't know what breed she is or what her owners are feeding her (Cat Growth Hormone?). All I know is you could strap it up and it could plow your taro fields or pull your chariot. She just wouldn't be so thrilled about it.
Look at those thumpers!

'The Biggest Cat in Samoa'.
Wow that cat is huge. My Choo-Choo is 12lbs which is pretty big for a cat. So 30lbs is a monster. Any idea of how old?
