Gustava(Gracie), our 4 year old Maine Coon, is a really sweet girl. I call her my flying cat. My other two cats; Flory, I call the fat cat, and Taylor I call the fast cat. The reason I say 'flying cat' is that although Gracie is laid back as can be sometimes if she decides to bolt over some matter like surprise visitors - she does move so fast you'd think she flies. Whoooosh!
She is my second Maine Coon. Our first, a boy, also Brown Classic with White only very large, died almost two years ago and I was really sad, but then I got our girl from a breeder. No one could replace our big, beautiful boy. No one should have to. Our girl is just herself like he was himself, but she has captured my heart just as he once did. She was a retired breeder(2 gorgeous litters) and show cat. She is small for a Maine Coon. Just weighed her today at 10.5 lbs.
Her colors are striking with just a bit more tan than you usually see on a Brown Classic with white.
She talks in her own special language which usually I can decipher, and loves to do laps - yes, I do understand that it is on her terms rather than mine. She also knocks on the bedroom door if it is closed. Of course, she is indoor, has her claws, but has a wonderful cattery exercise room and also a nice, big screened porch to enjoy and share with our other kitties. She plays with her mouse mostly as well as the cat top(wheel and ping pong ball) and loves to sleep with me. I think she is Purrrfect, natch! Had her to the vet today for her check-up. She is in purrrfect health too!

BTW, Wayne, a breeder friend of mine has a MC who sounds a lot like Silver Prince. She calls him Sterling.
