Is this a special sort of cat? Yes, I know their ALL special, OK.
Still, Maybe a Main Coon or Norweigan Forrest Cat? His tail is not
super bushy like the black one. I can take bettet pix if needed. Each
hand is as big as his whole face! He's still growing and very fistey
because he still has his nuggets for now. Don't worry, I'm not a
breeder- furthest thing from it actually. They find me, you know how
it is. Cheers, Karl.

That's an American Domestic Long Hair.

Good golly, that's a pair of very handsome cats! I must agree with the
American Domestic Longhair ID. I have a Maine Coon, "Woof" by name, on
my lap at the moment, and he concurs.

Thanks all. I think now that Woof, the star character witness has
opined I think we can put the (Tabby) question to bed.

Thanks also for the compliments and yes the black 17 pounder (and
both) are quite a character. Here he's doing some pinball work.

Both these long haired's just showed up and would not leave. Joker,
the black one has the amazing defense mechanism to shrink into a soft
fluffy ball with no face, ears, or limbs all while tripling his
"picking up" wieght. Transversely he will reach up and grab you,
escallating until his needs are met and he's very needy. Day or night
most of the time just for some attention. The tabby is still new, a
bit jumpy, feisty, and becoming quite a snuggler. Both are very good
eaters.

Thanks for all the input and helping with all these critters. Best
wishes,
Karl.

Yes, also for a time they were working to make a distinct subset of this
called the 'American Black Beauty' but that seems to have fallen by the
wayside.
