waiting for dinner...
Angus is a rescue cat and very loving. He has a fascination with water, and likes to sit on the side of the handbasin and watch the water coming out the tap.

Raise your paws if you think you are a dog
Riley was adopted at the animal shelter, his siblings were all white and he had one all black brother. He is the only one with stripes. The mother was found with the litter by a dumpster.
He's still very small (he was born March 9th), but I Had a Maine Coon before and they have the same personality and body type. My past Maine Coon died in November of heart disease, it happened over night and I was absolutely devastated. While he was unreplaceable, Riley helped me heal. He acts JUST like him.
While Riley is still a baby, I can tell he is going to be a big boy! His paws are big already and he has gained almost 2 pounds in one month. Without even asking if he was a Maine Coon, the vet said he does not have the normal coloring for one but his body looks like he has some Maine Coon in him.
Riley doesn't leave my side, I almost trip on him all the time. He follows me everywhere and if i get ready in the morning and shut the bathroom door he will be sure to let me know he needs IN! He loves to play in the water and has jumped in the shower with me.
He constantly chirps like a bird and sleeps on my head at night. And he never misses bedtime, he always is sure to come to bed when I go to sleep. He is extremely outgoing and thinks he owns the world. He is always sure to greet me at the door when I come home.
Looking back on pictures I took when I first adopted him, his tail and neck appear to get fluffier and fluffier, so do you think he is a Maine Coon?
Thank you for your help and I love your site!

bad thing is she hates pictures
I got my cat from a friend of a friend, and out of the litter I heard mine is the smallest cat. This cat is different from other cats I have seen.
She constantly follows me anywhere and likes to look at what im doing and she runs to greet me when she hears my car, its like having a dog I love it. When she was younger we would play fetch and even now we sometimes play tag.
Everyone loves my cat but I wish I knew what she was.

I found my kitty through a friend who obtained him from a shelter--my friend couldn't keep him because his roommate's girlfriend was deathly allergic.
He was six months at the time and now he's more than five... time really does pass quickly! I thought he was just a regular tabby, but noticed that he's much different from other tabbies that I had while growing up.
Aside from being incredibly long bodied, he loves water and playing fetch, and has since he was a kitten. He trills quite a lot too, is talkative and is incredibly social with strangers.
He also seems to be more affectionate, loving to climb on my stomach and lick my skin and sometimes even hair too.
I had never heard of Maine Coons until recently (I always thought I was more of a dog person--after having been raised with both cats and dogs as family pets--as fate would have it, my kitty seems to have many dog like characteristics) when I made friends with someone who has one and she thought he might be a mix.

OK, my cat is not common at all. She's a grey with a red-brown that you can only see in the light when she sits in a window; otherwise she's just a darkish grey.
Her eyes are a yellow and green near the black part of her eyes you know and shes long haired but does not shed or mat all that easy and has a curly furred belly.
She is really big for a girl cat I mean she scares my dogs some times. Her mom was a grey calico with a small frame and is short haired and dad was a pure black cat with a curly haired belly also and he is big and fat and long haired.
She not all that nice like she doesn't like to be cuddled or to be petted a lot but she loves her neck and head scratched. So what kind of cat do I have?
