I'm amazed at his fur - so amazingly soft! the loose stuff doesnt
just rub off and fall tothe floor like the other two.. this floats
off
into the air!
and yep - I'm very pleased he chose our house to move into. and as
much as I know what it'd be like for someone to lose such a Puss as
this - and could be missing him - it's equaly as surprising that
no-one has come forward - specially since we informed all the local
and wider are vets. but - these things happen I guess.
Coon or not ~ he's an amazing wonderful affectionate - likes
climbing
the trees in the back yard! and does so as easy as a possum or
Squirrell!!....

He sounds like a wonderful boy, and very lucky to have chosen you,
too. Breed doesn't matter--if by Maine Coon you only meant that he is
big and striped and fluffy with a fat tail and tones of gray, brown,
and cream or white, that works for me.

I rather wish there were no breeders, anyway. Not so that the breeds
would go away, but so that people would stop paying $400 for a cat
when there are so many great ones they could have for the price of
spaying and vetting.
