I have 2 tortie-and-whites. The above computer glitcher is my Maine Coon Bijou. Then, there's the little rescue imp Zizu, using my mouse as a pillow:

I love Maine Coons. My best friend had 2; Crockett and Lenny. Unfortunately, they crossed the rainbow bridge quite a while ago. I still miss them.
Oh I have a tortoise and white, she is a sweetheart almost too nice and undemanding to be a real cat. I also have a Maine Coon Tom that makes up for the tortie being so low maintenance though. The MC is in charge of everything, including the dogs. We refer to him as head of security here because he will open cupboards to check things out and patrols the house. He also plays in the water and spills it all over the floor- at least twice a day. I have another Maine Coon female that acts about half wild; not with me but if strangers come in they always look at her and ask if she is a wild cat because of they way she looks at them.
I got Cootie back in Oct. when she was approx. 5 months old and and it took over a month before she finally came out from under the bed when I was out and about. Maybe another month before she stopped running to hide whenever I moved.
She's now about 9 months old and still will run away from me when I try to pick her up but other than that, she is my shadow. Weird........
If she's not in the den or dining room doorwalls laying on the floor looking out on the back deck, she's lying on the floor constantly watching me.
She's a hoot and full of energy. She'll play non stop with one of her bell toys for an hour, batting it from one room to another. As for the laser pointer, OMG, she'll chase that non stop from one room to another, basement and back, over an over again until I feel sorry for her not being able to catch it and turn it off.
She has so much energy and is such a contrast from my last cat Squeek who all she did was eat and lie in her little bed all day. Never any desire to play but would occasionally bat one of her several toys around when I wasn't present.........
I have grass fabric wallpaper in my den that she started using as scratching and she's totally shredded areas around the den to the point that I had to line the floor with tinfoil. That seems to have put and end to that.
But back to the scratching post........what do I do?
