Your cat sounds a lot like my Lady Olivia d'Flufferuni (Livvy). She's the brown Maine Coon in my avatar. She was born 11 Apr 1999.

I think it's her affectionate nature that is my favorite characteristic. I adore cuddling with her and just wish that she felt like it more: it has to be when SHE initiates it, you understand. Livvy looks Maine Coon, but I recently learned that her mother was at least half Siamese. (What a surprise!) I'm scheduled to pick up new photos of Livvy (and her silver swirl tabby brother Cassy) tomorrow. If any turn out decent I'll post some here.

Tell us more about your cat.
