Clive F1 chausie cat being goofy

[AutumnDemp86]

Where did you get Clive from? I'm looking to buy one as a gift to my mother.

[roofy2k]

it's looking for a cheezburger

Nice markings and the legs. Beautiful.

LOL! He's pretty and he's good that he didn't knock anything down. Hahah! :D He looks like my new cat and my cat is only 1 yr old. :)

So I guess CLive could get a fair bit bigger? I'm told Chausies can take 3 yrs to reach full size???

His mom is regular cat sized, so Clive should top out in the 18-20 lbs range. But he's got a bigger frame than a domestic cat. Looking at him today you would say he's roughly twice as big as an average domestic cat. He has a very thick body and measures 27" from the tip of his nose to the base of his tail. When he stands up on his hind legs it's an even 3 ft from the floor to the top his head.

Clive weighs 17 lbs at 2 years old. His dad is a 30 lbs jungle cat, and his mom is a 12 lbs F2 chausie. Female jungle cats (and F1s) are typically a bit smaller, but size of the parents plays a big role. About 15 lbs or so?

My cat looks like that and he's pretty heavy when I picked him up.

@onethousandstans: So he's actually a F3 Chausie? You said his mother was a F2

How much does Clive weigh? I have an F1 who is still a kitten, but she's a big girl.

I'm wondering how big she may get!

[xiongrey19]

how much do these things cost! i must have one! and is it better as an outside cat (aka will it behave and survive outside?) or an indoor cat?

[rozsmom]

He's lovely! Love the way he was tip-toeing through the tulips there. Lol.

Great tight-rope walker, he didn't break anything and he did it so gracefully. LOL
