64. kinda - in that pic, but not IRL
He is normal sized and has a big fluffy tail, I am pretty sure she must have been the runt in her litter (although age and inactivity help balance the size difference). She has a short muzzle and a bit of an underbite, and her tail is about 2 inches shorter than normal. Also she is completely a shorthair.

4. Aww...pretty cat!
Your cat looks almost exactly like my old college roommate's cat "Lucy" who used to climb out onto the roof & then couldn't get down. :-)

5. Madimi's a little terror.
Her favorite game is the one where she pretends she's a lion and I'm a wildebeest. I had the audacity to leave for an overnight trip (leaving her plenty of food and water, mind you) and came home to find a chair overturned.

9. The same one Mom's sitting in, in that photo.
It's a cheap little Urban Outfitters chair with a canvas body on a metal frame. Not real heavy. But still, a bit of a shock to realize that Madimi still had her nightly Crazy Time even without me. :D

14. She's a tortoiseshell.
Apparently they have a rep for being mischievous. I only learned about this when it was too late. :D

Torties are almost always female - something about the way that color pattern is transmitted pretty much requires an XX chromosome. But basically the coloring comes from a black cat and an orange tabby (I can see tabby stripes in her orange patches.)

Do they have Maine Coon blood? They both have that fluffy, big, regal quality.

Does Bear have any white on him at all...?
Is Pumpkin a Maine Coon?

Bear has a little tiny bit of white, now that he's older:



Nope, Pumpkin is not Maine Coon. The vet said she's a Tabby.

13. They are both gorgeous..and look wonderful for 13 and 14 years old.
They must be very well-loved.


To me it looks like Pumpkin has some Maine Coon in her genes.
The markings around the face and the shape and color around the nose.

Pumpkins might have a little... she certainly is strong like a Maine Coon.

Your cat is beautiful, btw! That pic looks like something out of a cat book! :hi:

16. Tabby is a coloring description, not a breed.
Historical trivia fact: tabby cats are named that because their striped pattern resembled that of the historical carpets and weavings from Tabriz.

Maine Coons can certainly be tabby colored. I think your cats are probably moggie-mutts, but I bet there is Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest cat blood in there, if they're big. YOu can tell by the lynx tufts on their ears.

29. No, she's fluffy and has a lot more white. Toby's short haired.
Cocoa looks tiny, but on closer inspection one sees that she is a little chunk. And Toby - well, Toby is long. He's a long cat.

41. Yeah.
The top floor of the old house was entirely given over to kittehs, so using this pseudo-apartment upstairs in the new place was a no-brainer. There they can rule, and look down on us all.

25. Gorgeous cats, both have that "Whatcha gonna do about it?" look.
Here is a month old pic of our three kittens, from left to right, Freyja, Wolfie and Muezza. Freyja, we were told, is part Maine Coon. Now that she's a bit older she looks wild, like a super-fuzzy cheetah.

60. understatement of the year
he's VERY vocal, and one of the loudest cats I know, and he's been quite naughty lately (I left him home when I was away for the holiday and he got into my fishtank).

He's 15 and I love him to death.

but the lid was knocked off, and the filter was in shambles.

I have to talk to my dad about building me some sort of lid that would keep him out of the tank. Here's some photo evidence of him trying to figure the thing out (which he did in my absence)
