A few months ago Zeus, a 'majestic' Maine Coon, became a viral star for his massive frame and love of raw meat. When on his hind legs he stretches to an astonishing 4ft 3in. The super-sized feline lounges on a bed meant for a sled dog, high-fives on command, gives paw and even hits buttons for treats — but his floofy tail still spills off the edge. Advertisement
