That was good info on M. Coons libracats. To either wolflady or Ila (do you both have kitties named Misty?) Anyway, Misty is sooo pretty and definately M. Coon looking.

Dear Wolflady - your Misty is breath taking.
I love MC's - maybe that will be my next cat

Spencer, I forgot to say thanks earlier for posting the picture of your orange MC foster cat. My part-MC cat is orange and white, and I'd never seen another MC in orange. Seems like they tend toward other, darker? tabby colors.

Hmmm, what about solid color MC cats? or tortie or ??? Any comments, anyone?

Just caught up with this subject again. I have an orange & white purebred Maine Coon kitten, who is 9 months old now and already weighs over 13 lbs. I also have a M. Coon mix who is cream color with orange markings around his face, tail, legs. He looks a lot like Logan's butter only with quite long hair- has the blue eyes too. A co-worker of mine has a solid black Maine Coon. What I have read is that M. Coons are NOT bred to real specific standards, therefore there is a lot of variation in colars, markings, and eye color. They are bred for more for their personalities and size. I have heard them referred to as the 'natural' purebred. My kitten that I got in April had a solid gray sister, and a brother with sort of tortie type markings. His father is white with blue eyes. The brown/black classic tabby is the most common though.

My big boy is called Lamoni:

I think that he is about 20 pounds. He has a high pitched voice for such a large cat. Check out the rest of his pictures on my site web page

He is so gentle and so sweet. He is my good buddy.

Yikes, I've been away from this topic for awhile! LOL LOL Yorkster, Ila is my aunt so I guess that makes her cat Misty...my...cousin?? LOL LOL LOL
I agree that MCs are just beautiful! I just love the tufts of hair that grow between the paw pads... If you touch it ever so lightly, it tickles their feet...hehehehehe I think there are a lot of furbabies with at least some sort of MC mix in their blood on this board! In any case...everyone's babies are beautiful!!

Lamoni is a great looking guy! I liked the website too!

Oh, Lamoni is GORGEOUS! Thanks for posting!

A quick update on my friends' cat Fluff, suspected MC:

Fluff had his vet visit last week, and weighed in at 16 pounds. But the vet said, "This cat is healthy but he's underweight ... you need to feed him more meat!"

The vet said he needs to put on about three more pounds.

I said, "I told you so."
