Cats have the reputation of being a little sneaky and mischievous. They hide in tiny spaces and pop out when you least expect it or climb their way into bookshelves and on counters. I love their insatiable curiosity! They have the funniest and strangest ways of getting themselves into sticky situations.
But, this is only if they are sleek and slender enough to fit through small holes and into squishy spaces. You can get away with so much more when you’re tiny. The bigger you get, the more weight you have to pull around with you. So imagine a cat with all the same characteristics and personality traits, except this one is three times as big. This is Samson, and he’s New York’s biggest cat.
Owner Johnathan Zurbel inherited Sam from his brother when he was a tiny kitty and has been absolutely head over heels for this cat ever since. Johnathan has turned Samson into an Instagram celebrity and wants to make him as famous as possible by getting him involved in more cat opportunities. With over 176K followers, it’s safe to say Samson is well on the way to accomplishing stardom!
Samson is a gentle giant who loves to watch “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2.” He’s loveable, caring and of course still manages to get himself into some funny situations, according to Johnathan. The cat also has some dog-like qualities, always following Johnathan and even growling at the door sometimes! Johnathan says that having Samson in his life is like having another family member. With no kids of his own, the young man’s bond for Samson is very much like a father-son relationship.
Plus, this cat gets carted around town in a stroller. Yep, Samson is so big but also just big enough to fit into a baby stroller that get5s everyone’s attention. Just when people lean over to see the baby, there’s a big ‘ol cat in there instead. You just can’t help but stare!
And, he’s a good wingman too – Samson has garnered a lot of female attention and admirers wanting to meet him. Johnathan says his dating life has exploded with women who want to meet both him and NYC’s biggest cat. They really are a cute pair.
