Recently, a massive cat that amazed people with its size startled the internet. Standing on his rear legs, Zeus, a Maine Coon cat from Moldova, reaches a startling height of 39 inches!
Zeus’s mother Daniela stated in an interview with Kenista: “People are always shocked when they see Zeus, both in person and online.” Their responses are invaluable as many people aren’t even aware that Maine Coons exist. His size even amazes those who are familiar with the breed. I always giggle when I read some of the viral comments, like “he’s a dog,” “he’s a werewolf,” “a forest spirit,” or even “a toddler in a costume.”
So without further ado, let us to show you this nearly black lion!
Meet Zeus, not your average cat, he is truly a giant Maine Coon!
Daniela continued talking about Zeus.
“I understood right away that Zeus was unique. I looked far and wide for a kitten with the most prominent breed features because I had always desired a Maine Coon. Zeus had so much potential, so I concentrated on giving him the finest care possible, which included eating well, playing frequently, and monitoring his development. Three years later, I’m so proud of how amazing he’s grown to be.
Zeus’s size has amazed people on the internet and now he is a rising star with 49M views on TikTok
“Zeus has an amazing online presence! His videos have received up to 49 million views on TikTok and millions of views on Instagram! The fact that he has videos with 41 million, 27 million, and 20 million views further emphasizes how unique he is. Zeus was already a star before he became famous for going viral. He became the mascot of our IT company, which we operate. Zeus was a big hit with the staff when I would bring him in for office socials; they even invited friends to meet him! Zeus is his LinkedIn page, which he also maintains.
Daniela added, “You can also communicate with an AI version of him on his website, Zeus’s Website, to find out more about his food, grooming routine, and favorite toys.
Food is on the counter? No problem, no problem at all
In comparison to the other cat he lives with, Zeus’s massive frame often makes his companion look like a little kitten, showcasing a huge contrast between their sizes
We were curious about the owners’ and Zeus’s reactions to the huge publicity TikTok has received.
“The worldwide attention has been amazing,” Daniela retorted. I originally shared Zeus’s movies to demonstrate to the world what a remarkable Maine Coon he is. Seeing how much people adore him and the viral response has been amazing. I’ve made connections with animal lovers worldwide, and I’ve received amazing support. A fan from Australia was one of my favorite people to deal with; we ended up talking about kangaroos, and she sent me a picture of one in her yard, which I thought was an amazing and hilarious discovery! Zeus is receiving a lot of love, guidance, and affection from these encounters, which have been really fulfilling.

Maine Coons are renowned for having amiable, canine dispositions. We wanted to know if Zeus had any peculiar habits or characteristics that set him apart from other gods besides his size.
Daniela revealed: “You quickly learn that Zeus is not your typical cat when you connect with him. He exudes a strong sense of intelligence, which is supported by his actions. He can offer high fives, sit on demand, and even eat at the table by taking a chair like a real person! His ability to think independently and his readiness to “collaborate” when it will be beneficial demonstrate how intelligent he is.
Daniela, Zeus’s mom, wrote: “Life with Zeus is a true joy. His size is always impressive, and it never fails to amaze me”
Naturally, his size presents difficulties; typical cat beds and chairs are too small, so he prefers to spend his time on our couch and bed. Having him by my side every day, though, makes any difficulty worthwhile.
How do you feel about the size of Zeus? Is he maybe the largest cat you have ever seen?
