Quinn, a really LARGE maine coon

[yorkster]

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:

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?

[AngelZoo]

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

[PayItForward]

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

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

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.

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.

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!
