Sami they are sooo cute! I think Cato is very similar to our kitten, almost identical markings. Our other girl is my avatar - although it was taken when she was much smaller lol!!!

Thanks scotsgirl
I think Cato is the more handsome one, we were told that he has "perfect" markings for showing but he has 2 fused vertebrae in his tail that give it a kink so can't be shown - unfortunate for the breeder because they could have won lots of prizes but great for us because we're not interested in showing and he was 1/2 price too (very MSE LOL)

Cato and Rufus are gorgeous! Cato looks seriously mischevious in that photo

Oh don't I know about this one :eek:

I don't know what breed Yogi is but he has NFC or Main Coon blood in him in largish quantities I think.

We spent ourselves a nice hour locked in the bathroom this morning getting rid of all those tail nasties he had collected round the top of his tail... YUCK! Got to say that for such a big cat he was very well behaved and suffered my ministrations with only minimal wriggling but with full volumn wailing, the girls must have thought I was killing him!

At the end of the session he strolled casually out of the bathroom, went straight to the freezer and demanded chicken :rotfl: :rotfl:

My parents have had a maine coon for approx 14 years and she is wonderful. I can't recommend the breed highly enough. As others said, they are a large breed and so chilled out! They have v cute tufts of fur between their 'toes' and around their ears. As mentioned above, ours 'chirrups' too, and pats you with her paw if you stop stroking her before she is ready! Whatever breed you go for, enjoy your new moggie.
