When looking for a cat breed that would make a good pet, you have many breeds to make a choice between. There are tiny breeds and then there are big breeds. You should be aware, though, that some large cat breeds are more aggressive than smaller breeds. Especially when you get into the colorful cat breeds, these bigger cats are surer to use their size and aggressiveness for hunting purposes. When you make the cat into a home pet, and then you anger the cat for whatever reason, the cat could get more aggressive and could be painful to you if it’s a large cat breed. This is going to be an alert to all people who have small children in the house. If you are worried about your cat getting aggressive, you may be better off choosing a little breed instead of a large cat breed.
Check With Your Breeder
When you buy a new cat, you should generally go with a breeder. That way, you can ensure that the cat is healthy, that it has papers and you can also find out who the folks are to make certain it comes out of a robust blood line. That being said, you need to discuss your wishes with your breeder so you end up getting what you pay for. Make sure you tell the breeder if you have tiny kids and you actually do not need an assertive cat. Now, not all large cat breeds are aggressive and you may be able to find one thru your breeder which will be a large, but not aggressive, breed. Still, it is probable that your breeder will point you towards a smaller breed so you increase your odds of getting a better behaved house cat.
Making Use Of Its Size
Even if your large cat breed is sweet and loving, and even if it is fixed which usually tends to calm cats down, infrequently it will use its size when it feels cornered or it becomes annoyed for who knows what reason. Anyone that has ever owned a large size cat knows that when they are irritated, they may lash out and they are powerful. They can wrap their paws around your arms and sink their teeth in. If you’ve got a little cat breed, this will not be a problem to just brush it aside. If it is a large cat breed, however, that’s when you might truly get into difficulty.
Again, it all relies on your needs in what you’re on the lookout for in a pet cat. It’s just that most find that smaller breeds do miles better than larger breeds when making them into domestic house pets.

I have a very large domestic short hair who can stand on his hind legs with his front legs on the dinner table and look over the table without stretching. He looks like a grey and white tabby but he is huge. I assume he is some type of crossbreed as he was a stray who adopted me. I was just wondering if there is a breed that gets this big or if he is just unusually large.
Maine Coons, Ragdolls, Pixie-Bobs, Chausies, and Norwegian Forest Cats are all very big cats (upwards of 20lbs for the males).
The tabby markings you mention are typical of Maine Coons however. Does he look kind of like these?

In any case.. chances are he’s a mix of some sort and not purebred anything
But a little Maine Coon could probably go a long way as far as size…

When I say "bred" I mean for domestic purposes, like dogs were from wolves. Or did these house cats develop naturally (without human interference) through evolution?
No modern housecat’s evolutionary history is without human interference, otherwise they wouldn’t be housecats. Docile, people-friendly wildcats were the ones most likely to be selected for domestication by humans, therefore the wildcats with docile, people-friendly genes were the ones most likely to live long enough to reproduce and make docile, people-friendly babies. Multiply the effect by a few thousand years and you have the modern domestic cat.
Many purebred cats were more deliberately cultivated, either to serve a specific function or as a status symbol (ex. Siamese & Persian). Others evolved on their own and were then gradually domesticated, a process still driven by natural selection (ex. Maine Coon and Turkish Angora).
**Added** Actually the modern cat’s closest relatives are African and Near Eastern wildcats, as well as the Chinese desert cat. There’s no way a 200lb Puma could interbreed with an 8lb house cat
