Maine Coon

[BigCharles]

I have a Maine Coon mix. Lamoni is such a sweat heart for being a big cat. Here he is at three months.



He only got bigger. Softer, too.

They are a special kind of cat. Of course they are all special. They call maine Coons "Gentle Giants" and Lamoni fits that description. We keep him trim with good food. He hates garlic so we started putting it in EVERYTHING. He now won't go near most human food.

Lamoni is what is called an Orange and White Bi-color (or bi-colour). I have seen Tabbys, solids, and Tiger Stripes at the cat shows.

Gotta Love 'Em.

Yeah, gotta Love 'Em...what a gorgeous hunk of boy Maine Coon! We have a retired show girl...Maine Coon...Brown Tabby Classic with White. She belonged to a breeder and had two litters. Her kittens went for $500. each. She is smaller than the big male M.C.'s who fathered her kittens, but she produced some really pretty Classics and Silvers.

Most of all she is just our good lap cat with show days long behind although her colors are outstanding and we think she is quite beautiful. Once in a while if you pick her up she'll think she is to stretch all out like she used to do for the judges. She is six now and we have had her since she was 2 1/2.

She is a one person cat more or less but is friendly to most...just only cuddles with me. And she lives in a household with three other cats (all rescued strays we have gathered in over the years) so has to take her turn.

Here she is below with our rescued boy, LB, under the Christmas tree. Gusty (our M.C. girl) is on the right.

I will try an attachment here of a kitty I loved for 14 years... ZACKY. This is a drawing of him and he was obviously a Maine Coon kitty...

See what you think. He had the big paws and beautiful face too...

The drawing of Zacky is great!

I love Main Coons. Unfortunately in Europe they are not common, and there is almost no chance to adopt one from a shelter
I can always enjoy Main Coon pictures on PT!
