I know just how you feel about losing your Maine Coon.
I had mine for 13 years. He got sick in 1998 and had
to have him put to sleep. I'll never go through that
heartache again.

Gee, I'm so amazed at how many have "found" their
Maine Coons. I had to buy mine and he cost a fortune.
(For a cat, I thought.) I think he was about $300.

The vet told us our Door-ie cat was a silver-tipped Maine Coon. She looked black but her hair was silver next to the skin. He said those sell for about $1,000. She weighed approx 25 pounds. We have an old-fashioned bell on our front porch that we would ring to call her to come into the house. She would come running.
