Oh, ours is rather large also. He was from a litter of kittens dumped at a Tyco pipe yard. His siblings had all bee squashed by the heavy traffic, and my husband thought he would save this one. And so its called "Tyco" or Phsyco as I call him. He lives on the front veranda, where he has a nice comfy chair, and can guard his dinner bowl from the magpies. I even put a gate at the top of the stairs, so that the dogs can't get in and harrass him. He will only put up with about 5 pats before turning on the hand that feeds/pats him and sinking both teeth and claws in. He never really tamed up!
