Pics of Mario

[ToBeEvergreen]

Mario is a ten year old maine coon cat (we THINK). When the humane society found him, his whiskers were burnt off- thought to be the work of some punk kids. Probably as a result, he is usually skiddish around strangers, but with us? He's the perfect cat.

He has always been playful and curious, jumping up on top of our fridge and knocking down priceless vases. He's also intelligent- we taught him how to shut off the bathroom light when we tap it.

Soft, adorable, just an all-around love. I get lots of pictures of him, so I wanted to share some (down below!) :).

He loves belly rubs (for 10 seconds before he hits you...)

Oh be still my heart, what a handsome lad! I would be SO tempted to give that belly a rub! :D

I learned quickly that nothing goes on top of the fridge -- except cats! LOL

So happy he has a lovely home with you.

Oh, Mario! You are purr-ecious! I would love to pet your beautiful fluffy coat any time. Intelligent and adorable, what a wonderful combination! :D

He so handsome and looks so relaxed in his home. Thanks for sharing his pictures with us.:) He could also be a Norwegian Forest Cat mix. This is what I was told that my Sky is.

What a gorgeous young man! I think Sunny might be preparing a love letter, he has the same tabby markings as her, they can be short haired and long haired together. The perfect match! :love::love::love:

When I saw Mario's first picture, my first thought was PURRSONALITY! It's easy to see what a love muffin he is. And so handsome! Sending you lots of scritchies and lovies :love: :love: :love:

I love Mario! So handsome and such a furry guy. Is he a snuggler?

[ToBeEvergreen]

He is a big snuggly boy, yes :D. He's trying to cuddle as I type this- which usually ends in him laying on my laptop as if to say, "Hey! Hey lady! Give me love now!". :love:

OMdoG, is that a sweet boy or what??? I just love the picture of him and his crossed legs. Dear God, how can I resist that tummy.....

RUB RUB RUB OUCH RUB RUB RUB OUCH OUCH OUCH RUB RUB RUB.... :)

They do look quite similar! I have heard that breed is similar to the coon.



RUB RUB RUB OUCH RUB RUB RUB OUCH OUCH OUCH RUB RUB RUB.... :)

THAT is my daily mantra with him :D.

[phesina]

Oh, what a love bug! And those beautiful big feetsies....

Welcome HOME, Mario!

Double-pawed :D. Got some sizable mittens.

Double-pawed :D. Got some sizable mittens.

You mean extra toesies (toes :D ) or partial feet? As in a Hemingway polydactal? Or a true double paw?

The feet are so furry it's hard to tell. Beautiful kitty

My brother has a polydactyl and the toes change his stance and walk. Sort of a duck walk. He's still a log-legged graceful cat.

OMG!! How handsome, precious, fluffy, adorable, cute, pretty, etc...can one cat get? You got lucky, he is truly something.:love:

He has some extra toes on each foot! :)

We ARE truly lucky. He chose us in the Humane Society. He put his paw up to the glass, and I put my hand up to his paw in greeting. And he was ours.
