I have 2 Maine Coons, and I've decided MC's are the most wonderful breed! My male - Hunter - is a blue with white and weighs almost 20 lbs. (he's 1 1/2 years old). My female - Sugarberry - is a Torbie and weighs about 14 lbs. (she's 10 months old). They're both "fixed", so there won't be any kittens which is OK......I'd love a few more cute balls of fur, but my boyfriend said no more.

They are the most awesome kitties! They're so laid back, yet at the same time they're so intelligent. They're both very outgoing and love people and other animals. We have a St. Bernard also, and all 3 play together constantly.

Two of the things I love the most about them are (1) the way they talk, and the (2) way they use their paws. They both have high-pitched voices and seem to chirp & squeak instead of meow.....it's such a sweet noise. And they are both VERY handsy. They use their paws to get your attention by touching you as if to say "Hey....", and they'll take treats out of my hand with both of their paws......just like a raccoon!

I may be silly to say this, but when I'm on my way home from work, I find myself looking SO forward to seeing them. They brighten up my day so much and "de-stress" me 100%. I don't know what I'd do without them.

Before these 2, I hadn't ever had a Maine Coon - I'd always had mixed breeds. Don't get me wrong, I've loved all the kitties I've ever had. But I have to say, the Maine Coon is definitely a unique breed - and SOOOO lovable!

I hope this reply isn't too dated because I'd love to hear more about your MC!
