KD-CAT

This is our first cat ever. A family member has mentioned a few times she looks like a Maine Coon.

She is very playful, loves the cuddles, and likes to hunt (unfortunately usually our fingers and toes)!

Lucy, Rescued as a kitten

by Robert Brunson
(Canyon Lake, California, USA)

Here is Lucy, we rescued her and don’t have any history other than she was abandoned.

I’ve attached pictures of here when we got her, and a picture of her now. She’s not very large, but definitely has some Maine Coon traits.

Long fur that is very soft, long bushy tail, tufts between her toes, she always taps her water bottle before she drinks, makes funny noises, not really meowing, just funny sounds.

She loves attention, every morning when I wake up she jumps on my chest and I have to scratch and pet her, she also does this while we watch TV. She will lay on the floor while my wife and I watch tv.

The kids are always picking her up and she doesn’t resist. But she I also loves to rough house, she is lightening fast, and will five in front of your feet saying I’m ready to wrestle.

We also recently had a big mail tabby decide to adopt us, so we had him neutered and bathed, he is Bruce. Very neat cat, but Lucy runs the show, she’s not afraid to say I’m in charge.

Molly

by Donna
(Blue Springs, MS USA)

OMG, this kitten is so silly! She runs around playing with everything! I've had cats before, but Molly takes the cake for being a clown!

She even chews hair! She paws at my head from the back of the couch first, then she digs her paws into my scalp as if giving me a massage, then she starts chewing on my hair!

Never in my life have I had a cat to do this! She will chase you and if you chase her back, she'll hide until you're not looking and sneak up on you. If you look at her, she pounces. Every waking moment is playtime.

When she sleeps, she sprawls. Sometimes upside down with her belly exposed, sometimes across the arm of the sofa, sometimes in my lap with her whole body stretched across my lap and her head hanging off.

She's very friendly and affectionate, but she has a "thing" for my husband. She hunts him down, and the moment he sits, she's sitting on or near him. He doesn't even take care of her, I do! But I work long hours and he's at home with her most of the time.

She makes strange chirping noises, not meows. It almost sounds like a squeak.

She's a red tabby with tufts on her ears. She has long, soft fur. She has a fluffy, white chest and belly, with white socks.

We got her from a family member who found the kittens in her pool house. No fear of water, that's for sure.

Bella kitty! 1/2 coon?

Is Bella part Main Coon?

by Allison
(Santa Barbara, CA)

I adopted her from the shelter. I showed her picture to a Maine Coon owner who said, “she looks just like my Maine Coon!” So I started researching.

She’s not large and does not have the ear tufts but has almost all the other traits including a love of water, runs to greet me at the door, etc. What does anyone think?

Ruby the Potential Coon

by Nathalie

Ruby

We got Ruby from a friend who had to part ways because of their new living arrangement.

Her history did not tell much, aside from her being found with a sibling in a feral colony by a caretaker who does a lot of TNR.

Needless to say, we were more than happy to take her in to join our other cat. Despite a rocky start, they are now the best of friends.

Ruby is sweet and affectionate, though timid at times. She will stick by your side and makes a variety of little meows, trills and purrs almost daily!

Is my Cat part Maine Coon???

by Rosaline Gaffey
(Middletown, C.T. U.S.A.)

My girlfriend and I moved 3 years ago. The first day while i was at work, my girlfriend was reading on our new back porch.

She ended up with a visitor, and new buddy!!! We started leaving food out for the kitten. And quickly, the cat became ours lol!!!

We couldn't believe she was abandoned because she was so very beautiful!!! We noticed right away the lion-like mane around her face. Bushy, furry paws. Long hair. Long body. Big bushy tail.

I have never owned a long haired cat, but have seen them. Our cat (Kiki) just seems to favor a Maine Coon looking mix of cat. I am SOOO HOPING I CAN GET A DEFINITIVE ANSWER LOL!!!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
