Body Model

Box-shaped bodies (see picture above), short-legged, thick and strong. The hind legs look straight when  seen from behind. Body weight is about 4-5 kg for males, 3-4 kg for females. Muscle and Bone looks sturdy and strong. It has short tails proportional to the length of the body (when measured not exceed 3/4 of the size of the body). Its quality is more decisive than the size, so if you want to find cat with big body, then choose large-body races like the Mainecoon race.
