This is 'Floyd' a Heckin' Chonker Maine Coon cat at Alicia Pet Care Center. The funny phrase 'Heckin Chonker' was made up by someone at the vet clinic I believe. That's where the video comes from. Floyd weighs 28 pounds. He looks a little bit overweight which is why they described him as a Heckin' Chonker! 

Above is a screenshot from the video which emphasis his enormous size. It is fun to see a domestic cat this big at the vets. It must be like treating a medium-sized dog. 

One important point to make is that all the large Maine Coons I've seen in videos have behaved impeccably when handled. Not a murmur of dissent from them. They seem to accept it all and take it in their stride.

We don't know why Floyd is at the vet but it is possibly to do with his hip joints but I am guessing as he might be entirely fit and well.

Although for bigger Maine Coons hip dysplasia, an inherited genetic disease, is more prevalent and more severe. Certainly, weight is an exacerbating issue.

Also, big Maine Coons are more likely to suffer from hip dysplasia in both hip joints.  There is a disadvantage to size if you are a Maine Coon, which is a shame as everyone loves Heckin' Chonker Maine Coons!
