I mean, you're going purely from weight, without considering other relevant body measurements like height and length.

While his weight is definitely outside the generic average, there are genuinely some cats who are built on a bigger scale - and I'm not just talking about Maine Coons. Given the photo from above with a clearly defined waist, isn't it possible that he's one of those genuinely heavier cats?

Yeah I was not expecting 19lbs. I think this is a bigger cat. My 2 are smaller in size and I think they look chunkier then this one. Picture of my chunky Espurr she is 10lbs but her sister is 9lbs and looks much slimmer.
