A woman's pet cat has grown so big it is the size of an adult male BOBCAT - and weighs in at 11kg.
Dexter is a F6 savannah cat, which means he is six generations removed from a Serval, a wild cat native to Africa.
Seven- year-old Dexter, weighs 24.3lbs, measures a whopping 89cm (35ins) and uses a 110L storage bin as a litter box.
Dexter is so big he can only play with dog toys and eats dog treats.
Owner Laura Kay, 34, was looking for an out-of-the-ordinary cat when she paid 1,900 for Dexter to a breeder in 2016.
Laura, a laser technician from West Lincoln in Ontario, Canada, said: "I buy him dog toys because if I get him tiny little cat toys he'll just destroy them."
"All cat towers are way too small for him. I bought him the biggest one he can find, but it's still way too small for him."
"Cat treats are too small for him as well. If the ingredients are all the same, which they often are, I buy him dog treats"."
The most difficult thing to size up for Dexter was his litterbox, which Laura was never able to find.
Instead she had to buy a huge 110L plastic crate.
Laura said: "Litter boxes are all just way too small so I bought him a 30 gallon storage bin."
The cat's size also sometimes strikes fear into bystanders during visits to the vet.
Laura added: "The last time I've encountered somebody being afraid of him was at the vet. They were a bit worried about how he would react."
"A cat his size could do a lot of damage. He has the strength to do it. He would never do something like that though."
Dexter's size makes him an expensive pet to maintain.
Laura spends about 90-a-month ($150 CAD) between toys, food and vet bills.
Dexter is the apple of Laura's eye and she takes great care of him.
She feeds him specially made meat mixes.
She added: "He mostly eats raw ground chicken meat, specifically mixed for pet food."
"If you were to try and make it yourself you would probably get the minerals and nutrients wrong. It's a special mix of parts."
