PL, I've heard of Maine Coons and seen pics of them. They sound like really cool felines. I've a Russian Blue who was cast on the road where I worked when she was about 5 or 6 weeks old. She's a good cat but persnickety and doesn't tolerate other people or animals. We are her people and she refuses to share with others.
I missed the pic of your Coon, please send one or some. I've rescued probably 11 abandoned cats from the wild of all different stripes. Thanks, Mike

My kitty... other folks have asked about him. He is 2 years old and a Maine Coon rescued when he was just a baby. His breed is really cool, unlike other cats, he will not be full grown until he is 5 years old. Currently he is the size of a small dog. He weights 22 pounds and eats 6 eggs a week (scrambled and fried with butter for his coat), 2 pounds of raw meat each week, and around 8 pounds of kibbles every a week (but, he is not fat), when full grown he may weigh up to 30 pounds. They do not mat or shed, making them perfect for folks with allergies. And g***ming is real easy, once a week for brushing and combing (but, he is combed daily because we both enjoy the process). Teeth are brushed each morning and night... In the summer he gets a bath monthly... and he loves water. He swims with my horse who is still in therapy from a broken leg. He is a lap cat but not demanding although he loves to talk. Gets along with other animals, in fact sleep between my giants (both dogs, I posted a photo of them a few months ago) and very tolerant of children and babies plus he gets along with my bird. They are also very trainable... fetch, walking on a lead, and basketball are his favorite games and car trips to him are fun. Do you get the idea that I kinda like this guy? Oh yes, he is fixed.
