My kitty... growin' up!

[Dookus]

Haven't posted a pic since I got her when she was just a baby. Here she is now:



Ain't she purty?

1. She is exotically gorgeous!

And what eyes!
What incredible markings!

[Dookus]

5. I still haven't gotten a good picture of her eyes....

they really ARE gorgeous, but they don't really show in this pic.

So what's the puppy's name, dammit?!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

8. Cocoa

2. My goodness, how time flies!...

She is gorgeous! Do I remember that her name is Molly? I remember that you lost one to age just prior to getting her (was that Polly?). She looks great, and very happy. Oh, and Pooky wants me to say hi to her for him Errrroowwww!

[Dookus]

4. Yup! That's Molly!

She's the sweetest cat EVER. Just a total lap bug.

9. Gorgeous, aren't orange Maine Coons the best?

[Dookus]

11. ya think she's got Maine Coon in her?

I dunno... she's pretty small. But has a big fluffy magnificent tail.

[Gingersnap]

13. those ears are a Maine Coon thing

but the real give away is tufts of fur between the toes. I think she has Maine Coon in her but probably also something else that has kept her small. How old is she, she may still surprise you.

I had an orange Maine Coon once, named Magnus, a very willfull, smart cat, but not in an @sshole kind of way. I read that Maine Coons are descendents of cats that the vikings brought over, as are Norweigian forest cats. The tufts of hair in the ears are to keep snow out.

[Dookus]

14. wow.... that would be cool. I LOVE Maine Coons.

She's about 8 months old now.

She DOES have tufts of fur between her toes! Wow.

[Dookus]

16. more info....

you may be right! First off, she's 6 months old, not 8 - math is hard! She's almost the same size as my 9 month old boy now. But he's small, too.

I found a website on Maine Coons and she has a lot of the characteristics - the fur, the tail, the ears, the foot tufts and most importantly, the non-meow. She trills. She squeaks. She purrs. She makes the damnedest noises, but NONE of them sounds anything like a *meow*. This site said that's typical of the breed. Her personality also fits the profile.

So I'm gonna guess I've been especially lucky and got a female orange coon mix! I've always wanted an orange cat - I've always wanted a Maine coon! Wheee!

12. I have the healthiest respect for Maine Coons.

One slapped me across the room, once.

15. she has an honest face

I bet she uses it when she manipulates you!

17. "Silly human, gaze upon my beauty! Worship me!"

What a great cat. I just love cats so much.
