Quinn is the great-great-great grandfather of my boy Wylie. this is a real picture- I saw him 2 years ago when I picked up my kitten.
He is silly and also very gentle with his 'kids' who he likes to play with! He is beautiful too:

Some of those coon's get to rediculous sizes, one i had growing up was a good 18 or so pounds (not fat.)

well, my kitty (Wylie) is about 17-18 lbs. now and still growing. they say maine coons keep gaining until about 3 yrs old or so.
I'm not sure exactily how much his grandaddy (Quinn) weighs, but I know it's well up into the 20's. He is just a HUGE cat, even by M. coon standards :eek:

Quinn and Wylie are beautiful!

Yorkster, we don't see you around here enough these days. :)

At the last cat show that Sara and I went to, there was a HUGE all white Maine Coone. He weighed 25 lbs and he was almost busting out of his cage. :D

I wanted to get a picture of him but his owner had an attitude I didn't like so I said the heck with it. He was beautiful though, and looked like a big huge teddy bear. :)

Oh, and knowing that the Coones get so big is what makes me know that Peanut is not a purebred. She's lucky if she weighs 8 lbs these days much less 18. :) And I know females are smaller, but she would be dwarfed if she sat next to Quinn. :D

I wish I had more time for PT right now- just been really busy for awhile. I had to limit myself for a bit because I spent too much time on it for awhile- it's addicting!

Wylie and Quinn are gorgeous. I once met a Maine Coon of 22 lb -but a slim boy- at a cat show. He was the biggest cat I have ever seen live. I am glad that it is not part of their character to jump on human shoulders -like Abys:D

Is no-no Noah?
I like the picture where he is laying on his back all stretched out (with some colorful string/toy of some kind)
It's kind of a typical M. Coon pose:rolleyes:

here is pic of one of my Wylie-boy's 'cousin' - not sure of the exact relationship :confused:
His name is Simon and he looks a lot like Noah:
