So Who Is Ludo?
Well, if you say you have seen a big cat, prepare to get blown away because Ludo is the largest cat on the entire planet. He is so huge that one would think he is a little abnormal. However, he belongs to one of the biggest cat breeds out there. Ludo is actually a Maine Coon cat that weighs around 34lbs and is 45 inches long. He is owned by a loving couple named Kelsey and Matthew Gill. They take care of the big cat in their house located in Ryhill, West Yorkshire.
Friendly Cat
Ludo is commonly mistaken to be a fearsome cat, his owners are quick to note that he is not at all what he looks like. In fact, you would be surprised to know that he really is a softie. His owner further explains how he behaves with them, Even though he’s huge, he’s so friendly and lovable. He’ll often come over and lay on the bed or flop out on the floor to be stroked. Did his owners have any clue that Ludo would become this huge enough to hold a world record?
New Family Member
So as a family, we are often faced with the anxiety that our pet may not respond well when introduced to our kids. Children are way more vulnerable when it comes to spending time with animals. This was the same case for the Gill family when they wanted to add a new family member. Kelsey soon got pregnant and a healthy baby boy was born. The couple decided to name him Ryder. It was fortunate for them as Ludo soon grew very fond of him and there was no problem at all.
In Love
The Gill family was so pleased to learn that Ludo was absolutely amazed by Ryder. He was always spending time with the baby and never wanted to leave his side. Ludo was such a gentleman when it came down to handling the baby. The couple explains that it was love at first sight when Ludo met the new baby Ryder. After their meeting, Ludo remained by Ryder’s side as if he was ready to protect him at all cost. However, this behavior turned out to be unsurprising for the parents…
Brotherly Love
It turns out, this huge Maine Coon has always been very attached and devoted to the family since day 1. Ludo had always been there for the family and had always loved the family with all his heart according to owner Gills. Even when Ludo was just a kitten, he was always very protective and loving towards his little brother Cameron. The cat would always walk with the boy and make sure he stayed out of trouble. He never left his side and made sure he was safe at all times.
Watching Out
He has taken charge as the guardian angel for the two boys and maintains a very protective behavior towards Cameron and Ryder. He enjoys being nearby with both our boys it’s like he’s watching out for them, explains their mother who does not have a thing to complain about the cat’s big-brotherly persona. So it was basically Ludo and Cameron growing up together like real siblings. The two still share a very close bond even after their new brother came into the house.
Great Big Family
To have a cat that is so dedicated and loving towards his family is something all pet lovers would look for. To top it all off, Ludo has proven time and again that he is an effortless babysitter who could put many babysitters to shame.
