Thank you so much for the compliment RPCathouse. I don't think he looks better than Moses!! Moses is BEAUTIFUL too! I never knew about the cameo coloration until I saw Moses and started investigating Maine Coons. I think that they are beautiful! I think I could have a house full of cameo's!!
Pete's mother is a wild tortie. Seven of my nine cats belong to her. She likes to bring me her kittens when it is time for them to start eating and then she just leaves them and we get the job of trying to trick and trap them to get them in. I'll post pictures of the rest of them for you to see. Peanut Butter, Stubby, and Lucky are all from the same litter.
This is Peanut Butter

Stubby

Lucky


Next came Maggie Sue. She is the only one to survive from a litter of five. She is the spitting image of the mother. You can't tell them apart when they are together.


Then came the last three. This is Pete's brother and sister from the same litter.
Pepper Jack

Pete's sister Pervy (short for nervous Pervis)


She gives us lots of variety in kitties!! Now you can see why Pete was such a surprise.
What is the difference between a patch cameo and tabby cameo? Is this cameo coloration only on Maine Coons? I have just never seen markings like Pete's and Moses. As you can tell I really think it is beautiful!! Thank you so much for any information and I really do appreciate the compliment. Too bad Pete is so afraid of strangers because I would like to able to take him out and show him off! I guess I'll just have to settle for pictures on PT!!
