Meet Adorable Kefir – The Giant Maine Coon Cat That Looks Like A White Lion

Imagine that a cute fluffy lump is lying on your chest… weighing 12.5 kg! Well, the owner of this cat does not need to imagine. This is her reality at home. March 2020. Russia is in lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic. Yulia Minina, 34, from Stary Oskol in Belgorod Region (495 km from Moscow) and a mother of two girls, decided with her husband and children to get a kitten to make their home life more fun.

According to Yulia, most Russian and foreign fans don't believe in Kefir's existence and ask if it's been photoshopped. "Many people also want to buy Kefir, but that's just awful. He's a member of the family. No way will we give him up; we'll only take pictures more often," says Minina.
