Catty1... my Abby also has white hairs in her ears too.... I think she has Mainecoon in her because what I have read about that breed, she has many of the traits. she needs to loose some pounds too. I will have to send you some new photos of her, as it would be fun to do the comparison game again. I will see what I can up with in the next few days Have you seen " the cats 101" tv show, the big boy Mainecoon looked just like Abby and Cole.
