MadisonMan said...: ...ah.

If you click through, you find it's 1.9 x 2.6 meters. So 75" x 103".

6'3" x 8' 7"

Pretty big.; 11/4/15, 8:54 AM

MadisonMan said...: Anyone who has that many cats also sleeps with the bedroom door firmly closed, and also the door to the hallway that leads to the bedroom firmly closed.; 11/4/15, 12:36 PM

I thought it was a painting of the world's largest cat, which would be one of those 900lb lion-tiger crosses. They're ugly.; 11/4/15, 1:03 PM
