I was also going to say too, please think about rescueing a Main Coon cat that needs you. We have so many cats that are getting killed every week here in Texas - a lot of kill shelters - and these cats really need a home before they get killed. No offense but after going to the shelters I just don't understand why there are even breeders out there. My Meka is a bobtail - had Bobtail kittens at the shelter (only reason they kept her because she dropped them the day after she got there and they were nursing) so she is a real bobtail and from research on the net and the way she acts I'd say she is a purebred and they go for a lot of money for the more rare American Bobtail cats - and I found her at Animal COntrol kill shelter....
