Charlie

by Jamison
(California)

Charlie is six months old. We adopted her in Berkeley, California, & ages unlike any other cat we've ever known.

She's extremely smart & affectionate, plays fetch for hours, & is never touchy or aloof.

She definitely has a coon-like tail, long & fluffy with grey & black rings, & large furry paws, tufted ears, & a ruff around her neck.

Our vet says she looks like a Maine Coon, & Charlie's playful personality & high intelligence make us suspect our vet may be right.

Thor

(Michigan)

Thor absolutely loves to cuddle and he is always finding a lap to sit on.

In the morning he will always come and lay next to me waiting for me to wake up. He loves the kids, even though the two toddlers are not very gentle he never runs away.

I have never heard him hiss or become agitated. He loves our pit bull mix and plays with him - like actually plays.

I sometimes wonder if he was supposed to be a dog. When he sees the dog is getting something he’s right there trying to take it away from the dog. It’s hilarious the friendship the dog and cat have.

Thor will find everything anything to bat around and play with. I have found pens and other such things on floor. He carries things around in his mouth a lot.

He begs to go outside a lot and we don’t let him go outside but he tries to escape a lot. He will scratch at the door and be vocal when he wants out.

He has this weird fascination with the tub and toilet water. Thor really wants to check them out and I have had to give him a flea bath and he of course didn’t like it but after a few minutes he stopped fighting and let me get it over with.

He really has a hard time cleaning himself too, like he is always matted and I try so hard to keep up with his brushing.

He is very sweet and lovable. My lap cat.

Pillow Pants Roland

Mr. Pillowpants

Roland is at least half Maine coon. His other half is either Persian or Ragdoll. He is beautiful.

We call him pillow pants because his butt is so full of thick long hair :)

He is very loud and very large. Maybe about 17 pounds. He loves attraction and food. I don’t know which one he loves more tho.

Dixie

by Lorri
(Marietta, GA)

I adopted Dixie from our local animal shelter two months ago.

She is two years old and has all of the personality traits of a Maine Coon, as well as several physical ones.

Sadie

Sadie was found alone as a kitten on a farm!

She was sent to live with a foster family and then we adopted her! Sadie is different than any other cat I’ve ever owned!

She’ll let anybody hold her, she’s completely unafraid. She’s not afraid of dogs or any other animals.

Right now she’s only eight months old and she starting to grow long tufts of hair around her neck. Her paws are very large.

She has a great appetite and will eat anything. If you’re munching on popcorn you have to be aware, she’ll jump up and eat right out of the bowl!

Eduardo

His fave spot to nap

Eduardo/Eddie is one of a kind! I’ve only had him 1month and he’s definitely special!

I’m a pet person and have loved all my kitties but he’s different. Ornery, carries on, loves to play. Very curious! Always “helps” with what I’m doing.

He’s been in the dishwasher, washer, dryer, bathtub, occasionally rides on sweeper, basically he helps all day! Besides having THE BEST personality he REALLY cute!

My mom insists he has Maine Coon in him. I think they are beautiful cats and like looking at pics. While looking I started reading and he shares a lot of traits. I’ll never know but can’t help but be curious.
