Quinn, a really LARGE maine coon

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:

and this is my boy, Wylie (a little resemblance);

Such cuties!:)

Oh my! but those two are a fine looking cats and so long and lean. Like getting two cats in one.:)

Wow - those are two spectacular looking cats!

How big are they?

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

Such cute cats. :D

Beautiful!!!!!!!

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:

The Maine Coon has to be one of the most beautiful cats i have ever seen, i am simply in love with this breed, u are so fortunate to own one, wylie is gorgeous, cuteness overload with those pics, bring on some more plz:)

Aww! I have a Maine Coon Cross, Rascal, that looks just like your Wylie :) He is almost 40 inches long!

I just LOVE Maine Coons!!!! Great pictures, thanks so much for sharing them!:D

My oh my, they're gorgeous!

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!

Thanks!
Okay twist my arm, here are a couple more pics. this is another of Wylie with his (current) favorite toy- the hula hoop:

one more- this is one of the mommy-cats. her name is Iris and she she is obsessed with womens purses! she crawled in mine while I was there and took a snooze (half of her fit, anyway):

I AM HEAD OVER HEELS , such awesome cats, i hope to c some more maine coones at the mad hatters cat show this weekend, they are such a delight to look at, i can spend ages just staring at their beauty. thanks for posting such neat pics.

OOOh, oooh- carole take pics if you can! I would love to see them! :cool: ;)

aww i wish i could, i can see i am going to have to get myself a camera soon, if i can borrow one i will ok, but not sure i can but i will try.

That is one LONG white kitty! The orange and white one is gorgeous, too. I can't believe how enormous Maine coons get!

They both are beauties!!

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

WOW they are so precious! I would love to have a BIG coonie to go with tiny Pixel! How cute would that be?

My "no no" is a maine coone. Here are some pictures....

Here he is growing out of last summer's haircut:

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:
