Lying on their back

Tiger is a big cat - make that a HUGE cat. He weighed in at 23 pounds at
his last vet visit. He likes to lay on his back with his feet sticking
up. Is this a trait of Maine Coons?

I don't think it's Main-Coon specific really. Some cats just like to lay that
way. Cherokee did...he was a moggie longhair but also a very big cat.

I don't know about Maine Coons, but it is very much a habit of the
Ragdoll breed... we call it the big flop.

It's a trait of cats who are huge, in my experience. ;-)

So does my current big guy, and a big cat I had that has since passed
on. Non of my smaller cats (~12 lbs) I have ever had did it.

Sure looks funny :-)
