Kefir is large. He is, by all accounts, something of a big boy. He is a kitty of considerable — even copious—capacity. One might be tempted to describe his size as “excessive,” but that would be wrong: He is exactly the right size—it’s just that the size that he happens to be is voluminous. Gigantic. Exorbitant. He is, to use a technical term, an absolute whopper. And according to his person, Yulia, “He is also very smart and always behaves calmly.”

“The look is generally like that of a person, and Kefir has a formidable appearance, but he is a very affectionate and modest child.”

Kefir has not allowed his lavish proportions go to his head. “When friends and acquaintances come to the house,” says Yulia, “all the attention is on him and he willingly allows himself to be stroked.” Let’s take a look at some pictures of Kefir and think about how lucky we are to share our world with such a monumental thumper of a cat.

Here’s Kefir gazing affectionately and modestly at the trifling Lilliputian squirt who dares to take his picture.
