Both of our, Chessie (mix) and Bart (full blooded), Main coons love attention. Yes you will get slapped or yelled at if you stop. Chessie is a momma's boy and follows her all over the house. Bart is mine and follows me, if I sit he has too sit next too me. He also has too meet me at the door when I come home from work. Et our rainbow girl was momma's and very, very vocal when no one gave her the attention that she wanted.
These guy's are known as gentel giants. By the way Chessie is 17 lb and Bart is 26.
