We got ours from a breeder over in Louisiana at least 30 years ago, I can't even remember a name or a town.

We had a wonderful Maine Coon named Max. He was so smart.

They are terrific family cats.

He lived until he was 18. Loved that boy!

I have a Maine Coon named Abby, had her 15 years. She is a tortoiseshell and is great natured, follows me from room to room, answers when I call and does her best to talk to me. She has great non-verbal skills. My mother kept her for me for a month and put ice cubes in her water and now so do I. She can count because if I put in three cubes she won’t drink just stares at me till I add the fourth. She is the boss.
