Yorkster, thank for sharing your Wylie. He looks to be a large cat even from that limited photo. The size of his head, is double that of the usual domestic cat. Of course some of that is fluff, but just the same, he is obviously a large cat. And you say he is only 1 year old? Prince is becoming a regular at the keyboard pillow. Just now he was sitting on a stool next to me. I began to pet him and he responded with kitty love bites. He appears to be very loyal, even for a 2 month old kitten. His fur is not long, but not too short, perhaps we could say "medium" length. Also noting, on many of the pictures of the various Maine Coons, most of them have long fur, like your Wylie. Does Prince's medium fur length take away from his "pure" breeding standards?
