Big Floppa Rating Summary

Big Floppa is beloved for the humorous contrast of a majestic, wild predator living a “boring” domestic life. Fans are drawn to his iconic floppy ear tufts, his strange “karr” vocalizations, and the ironic internet lore that has transformed him from a pet into a globally recognized character.

Fun Facts

• Distinctive Vocabulary: Instead of typical meowing, Gregory is famous for his unique vocalisations, often described as “karr” or “kurr” sounds.
• A “Large” Celebrity: Gregory is notably bigger than the average caracal; while typical wild males weigh 8–19 kg (18–42 lb), Gregory has been known to weigh significantly more, leading some fans to affectionately call him “hefty” or “overweight”.
• Calendar Model: As of late 2025, Gregory became the face of his own official 2026 Caracal Calendar, which even features pre-marked “Floppa Fridays”.
• The Name “Caracal”: The species name comes from the Turkish word karakulak, which literally translates to “black ear,” referring to their iconic black-tufted ears.
• The “Floppa Cube”: His popularity spawned a unique trend of “Floppa Cubes”—square-shaped plushies of Gregory that remain popular items for fans to pre-order in 2026.
• Meme Lore vs. Reality: In internet memes, Floppa is jokingly said to love eating “cement” and “shrimp,” but in reality, his owners feed him a strict diet of fresh raw meat, such as chicken.
• Ear Communication: Those long ear tufts (which can be up to 5cm long) aren’t just for show; caracals use them to communicate with one another through rapid flicking movements.
