LizBest Against Humidity?I need a flat iron that works best against humidity; one that will maintain your hairs straightening/styling the longest. Suggestions?Reply to this postJan 19, 2010Link to this post
PinkCan I Bring This To Another Country??I would be going to another country which has 220V...im wondering if my solia will be okay with a transformer?Reply to this postJan 19, 2010Link to this post
MegI wouldnt recommend it! But if you do, be careful! I brought my pink Solia with me to Europe. It worked in most countries with a converter and plug adapter but it got VERY VERY hot! It would heat up even when the switch was set to off. Near the end of my trip, I guess the straightener decided it had enough! The glue that held the plates in melted and rendered the thing useless. This was while I was in France. I had to throw it away :(Feb 25, 2010Link to this post
EstherBlinking Red Light?I first got my Solia straightener yesterday and I tried it today. I tried to put it to the lower settings but it would either turn off and anything lower than 450, the red light blinks. What is going on here and should I return it for another one?Reply to this postJan 19, 2010Link to this post
EstherWhat To Put On Hair Before Straightening?I am afraid of straightening my hair because it burns it. Is there anything htat you put on before you straighten it that will protect your hair and prevent it from burning?Reply to this postJan 19, 2010Link to this post

Cornish seaweed may be new dish of the day
A man in Cornwall has been granted the first licence in England to gather seaweed from around the coastline to sell for people to eat.
Rory MacPhee was given an experimental licence by the Crown Estate to handpick seaweed from around the Lizard Peninsula.
While such licences already exist in Scotland, Rory will be the first in England to work his way along the coast harvesting what he needs from the massive swathes of algae floating around the shore.
The boat-builder and furniture-maker, who lives in Falmouth, used to be a shipping lawyer.

Contact: 01726 213808
Valid until: Monday, March 31 2014
But he has branched into the food market and is keen to give seaweed a marketing overhaul, rebranding it as "sea vegetables".
Rory said he wants to take seaweed from being the preserve of health food stores to appealing to a wider audience.
He said he hopes British consumers begin to take seaweed to their culinary hearts in the way the Japanese do.
In Japanese cuisine, seaweed is a key ingredient used to achieve the so-called fifth taste, known as "umami", which can also be found in cheese and mushrooms.
Rory said: "Seaweed is so rich in nutrients and is extremely tasty – a lot of the top chefs are beginning to use it in their dishes.
"It can be used in soup and bread and is a great substitute for bacon when it's smoked."
But preparing seaweed for market is a complex process.
Once he has gathered the seaweed Rory flattens out the leaves before laying it on rocks to sun-dry. After it is dried out sufficiently he takes it away to cure.
He then grinds the strips into a powder before pouring it into test tubes and selling it at market.
Rory is a founder member of the Seaweed Health Foundation which has around 40 members across the country. Their aim is to promote research into seaweed as part of a healthy diet.
But it's not only the health and taste aspects of seaweed that Rory is keen to extol.
He also sees harvesting the marine plants as a valuable commercial resource that could flourish into a vibrant local industry. Rory said: "In these days of economic doom and gloom the food market remains strong, with a tremendously exciting new development for Cornwall in the gathering and selling of sea vegetables."
He added: "Of course, it all has to be done with legal permissions and consents to ensure good quality food and ecological sustainability.
"Why can't we have the fishermen bringing in their lobster pots while others are on the shore collecting up the seaweed?"

You may know actress/singer Gloria Loring from her character Liz Chandler on the soap opera Days of Our Lives, or as the singer in the number-one hit song "Friends and Lovers" or as the mother of singer Robin Thicke. But what you may not know is that Gloria has wrestled with real-life dramas throughout her life. Her oldest child was diagnosed with a chronic illness, she struggled through an unraveling marriage and faced countless professional challenges. But Gloria also experienced the saving grace of timely coincidences.
Today's Book Club reading "Coincidence is God's Way of Remaining Anonymous" is a detailed account of Gloria's compelling life's journing and her exploration of the mystery of divine intervention. Gloria experienced many 'accidental miracles' that occurred at just the right time. One example was her discovery of a business card with the words "expect a miracle" that someone or something placed on her makeup table. That event and those simple words have since become her mantra.

New ODI rules: Nightmare for bowlers
In a bid to revive the drab 50-over game, the ICC announced a set of new ODI rules that came into effect exactly a year ago. While batsmen have benefited the most from it, bowlers have had their strength undermined, something that has been especially visible in the recent India vs Australia ODI series.
Ranji Trophy 2013/14: Players to Watch
With the 2013/14 Ranji Trophy just a couple of days away, we look at five young cricketers who are most likely to make an impact this season.
Virat Kohli - The Chase Master
Ever since donning the Indian colours, Virat Kohli has been a frontrunner in the race of modern cricketing greats. Apart from being a crafty batsman, Kohli has shown the willingness to adapt to changing situations around him. What makes him a special talent is the fact that every time the team landed in trouble, the youngster took charge and delivered the goods.
Can Kohli deliver at No. 4 in Tests?
With his exceptional performances in limited overs cricket, Virat Kohli appears to have sealed a permanent batting position in India's ODI line-up, and is slowly but surely inching towards securing a stable berth in the longer format of the game.
Twenty20 – A boon to Indian Cricket
Since its advent, Twenty20 cricket gets its share of criticism, but it has, to an extent, changed the way spectators as well as players approach the sport in today's day and age.

Zumbathon to Fight Cancer!Susan WelliSunday, November 25, 2012 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM (CST)Houston, TX |
Who's Going
Event Details
Have fun and help raise funds to beat cancer!! Come and work off that sweet potato pie with a pulse pounding 2 hour Zumba Class with none other than Jerry Maese of Studio Tropa! The majority of proceeds will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training.
If you cannot attend but would still like to donate please go to: http://bit.ly/TNT-Welli
What is Team in Training and LLS?
The mission of Team in Training (TNT) is to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. TNT is a group of individuals who come together every week training to participate in a sports endurance event with the goal of raising money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's (LLS). LLS is committed to curing leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Our team is currently training for a single day century ride (111 miles) in Tucson, Arizona on November 17, 2012.
This group displays such enthusiasm and dedication for their cause. Our team trains together weekly and before each ride there is a "mission moment"; a sharing of personal involvement or connection with someone who has blood cancer. These are messages of tragedy, success, hope and progress. They are reminders that we are there to raise funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma. Some of our coaches and team members are either currently battling cancer or are survivors of this horrible disease.
With your support, we can help improve the quality of life for patients and their families. If you know someone who has had leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease or myeloma, chances are the LLS was there to assist them or their family in a variety of ways.
Where does the money go?
In fiscal year 2010 LLS was able to: Invest $72 million, which includes funding for 103 new grants to researchers in academic institutions and $8 million in contracts through the LLS Therapy Acceleration Program Support 347 research projects in the United States, Canada and 9 other countries Provide financial assistance to patients Sponsor scientific conferences around the country Produce educational materials and videos Run dozens of Family Support Groups nationwide
Please note your donation receipt will be sent to you after the event.

Sources: Vick can sign, may sit 4 games
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell may be close to reaching a decision on Michael Vick, NFL sources told ESPN.
League sources told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio and Chris Mortensen on Thursday that sometime next week Goodell is expected to announce a conditional reinstatement of Vick, which would allow Vick to go to training camp if he signed with a team but that could also include a four-game suspension.
"Can we suspend him in basically double jeopardy?" asked the league source. "That's the question."
Goodell already had given Vick an indefinite suspension that ran concurrent with the 23-month federal prison sentence and home confinement stemming from Vick's role in an illegal dogfighting ring.
According to a source close to Vick, the former Falcons quarterback is hoping to receive no additional punishment. A four-game suspension likely would inhibit his ability to catch on with an NFL team. No teams have expressed interest in bringing Vick in for a tryout as of yet.
As part of the deal, Goodell is reserving judgement in the event of any further transgressions from Vick.
"This is a serious matter. We are engaging in a careful and thoughtful process and no decisions have been made," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said.
Earlier Thursday, SI.com first reported that Vick and Goodell met for three hours Wednesday afternoon in Allendale, N.J., at a small security firm.
Vick apologized to Goodell, especially for lying to him in 2007 when Vick denied being involved in any dogfighting ring, according to league sources, who described the meeting to Paolantonio and Mortensen as very cordial but tense.
One league source said Thursday that Goodell did not necessarily need to hear that apology.
"The commissioner has said many times, 'This is not about me,' " the source said.
Vick -- once the NFL's highest-paid player -- was joined at Wednesday's meeting by his legal and personal advisers, including agent Joel Segal.
Vick was released from federal custody Monday after finishing the home confinement portion of his sentence at his home in Hampton, Va.
SI.com reported Thursday that both Vick and Goodell were spotted leaving the offices of Buckley Petersen Global Inc. separately at 4 p.m. ET. Vick exited in a Cadillac Escalade; Goodell departed approximately 10 minutes later in a BMW.
According to eyewitnesses, both Vick and Goodell were described as looking "somber" after leaving the meeting.
NFL training camps are set to open next week and this deal could free Vick to pursue an NFL contract that would allow him to begin to alleviate his massive debts. Vick declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July 2008, a little more than three years after he signed a then-record 10-year, $130 million deal with the Atlanta Falcons.
A handful of teams have publicly declared they have no interest in Vick, citing a multitude of concerns.
Giants owner John Mara and Jets owner Woody Johnson were emphatic in saying their teams' quarterback positions were filled.
"On a lot of levels, no," Mara said when asked if the Giants had any interest in Vick, adding that there wasn't even any discussion or debate in the front office.
Despite the competition to replace Brett Favre, Johnson said the Jets also weren't interested.
"We've got Kellen Clemens and now we have this young Mark Sanchez, and I think we are good on quarterbacks," Johnson said, adding that the Jets also didn't see Vick as an option.
Vick admitted to bankrolling Bad Newz Kennels on his estate in Virginia and assisting in the killing of dogs who performed poorly in practice fights.
Information from ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Sal Paolantonio and The Associated Press was used in this report.

I have had my main coon since he was 6 weeks old. He is now 14 almost 15. Black Jack is my best friend. We have our routine, every night he chirps at me at bedtime and i must lay on my stomach so he can get on my back and he massages my back for about 20 min. Then in the morning it is my husbands turn he lays on the boot strings so he cant put his boots on. Its so funny to watch. He has always been a well behaved cat, does not care for table food, does not get into things, but does not like it when we are gone for a few days he will dig up my covers till they are in a pile in the middle of my bed. then he chips as if he is telling me off, after he gets his fill its time for attention. I love so very much and i tell him all the time. He does not like his paws touched or his tummy you must only pet his head is this a normal thing of this breed or just my old cat being picky:)
Lois Wakefield, MA
can anyone help me; we privately adopted this cat; he is totally maine coon - he just brought me his toy -- must be play time. He has had this issue with swelling on his face; it is happens right eye .. then gets better & then it is left eye. I cannot tell if he is allergic to food; perhaps food getting caught up inside his gums. He had an initial vet check two weeks ago and no findings other than gingavitis. I really need some GOOD advice what to do about this. it has happened twice now since we have him for a month. he is 2 yr old (+-)

I now have two boys one 3 one 4 I have had them for 5 weeks and 4 they both came from an excellent breeder who never breeds after 2 yrs and had been looking for the right home . Our liife has changed considerably the house is full of cat toys and always looks like a bomb has hit after their morning run around but when they cuddle up and kiss us and you look into those beautiful eyes you have to forgive them what do I say Thankyou boys for coming into our life
Susan International
I found this article very informative and accurate. We just rescued a MC from a shelter and are having a blast getting to know these beautiful, intelligent and precocious. We love our Tinker...
Jeanne Auburn, AL
I had never even heard of a Maine Coon cat until visiting a cat rescue spot two of them spotted us and we went home with one of them. I adore him--but he has not taken to leash training, which is sad because I live in a facility where he can not get out unless he is leash-trained.
Brytta Cedar Rapids, IA
They are so friendly

This article was great reading. I had to smile on many parts of it as it fits our wonderful Maine Coon Cody to a tee. Cody is 7 years old and still as crazy as ever. I love this breed of cat it is one of the best things to come out of America. Why have a dog when you can have a Maine Coon.
Susan Muscle Shoals, AL
I love this article on Maine Coons!I have 2 ..a brother/sister...Scarlett and Rhett.Ihave owned cats all of my life,but this is the first MC s i have ever had.They sre both extremely smart and beautiful.my male weighs about 30 lbs....yes,i said 30,lol and female is about 22lbs.After owning these 2,that's the only kind i ever want.I would like to send pics to show off my babies....but anyway,your article was very imfirmative,so,thsnk you!

This is a fascinating article! We have a big fluffy male cat named Hairy; there are a few stray cats that hang out near my home &, though I've been successful in catching some of the Mama cats to find a good home for, some are just too cautious (understandably so), which means I'm constantly on the lookout for new kittens. I heard a kind of weird noise one day outside our backdoor, which sounded a bit like a kitten, but in a weird way. So I opened up the back door & there's this little puffball of white fluff, with a big fluffy tail... all covered in some kind of gunk that he had gotten into (he started to dart back into the shed until I called to him so he could see I was friendly). I brought him in, got him all cleaned up and fell head-over-heels in love! My older sister saw how he was scooping up his food with his paws and knew how he never meows, rather he communicates through a fun series of chirps, trills, and extremely loud purring; she told me that she was watching a show about Maine Coons & she thinks he may be one. This article was so informative and, with the exception to the water fetish, you could be writing about my cat. Especially the part about easily winning over men; my boyfriend has asthma... he doesn't mind cats all that much, but do to his condition, he has to be careful. With Hairy though, even though I'm the one that rescued him & then had to talk my boyfriend into keeping him (we already had a female shorthair tabby that I rescued as well), not to mention I spent the first day spoiling the crap out of him, in the end, nothing mattered, he's my boyfriends cat. It was easy to see they were enamored with each other, so much so that my boyfriend began to forget about his condition; he's not deathly allergic to cats, but at the same time, unlike me, he can't have them sleeping on his chest at night (Hairy's fav place to sleep)... He ended up in the hospital for a week and we had to change up our arrangement a bit, so now Hairy lays outside our bedroom door about 75% of the time, usually laying on his back so he can peek under our door. Thanks for sharing this!!
Jamie Gagetown, MI
Very well written and informative. I didn't know about this breed until adopting two last Nov. Best cats we have ever had in our home.

Hi I am also writing to assure Beverly that her Maine Coons will settle down and actually love her, if she is patient. I have a boy who was feral but saved from death as a 2-month-old. I got him at 3 months of age and made a point of just sitting down quietly on the floor in his room. Just almost every night, sitting cross-legged. Eventually he starting coming around and sitting on my leg as I petted him. He is not a lap cat today at age almost-2. BUT Maine Coons generally are not. Rather, he will hang out with me if I nap on the sofa and make 'biscuits' and generally is a very loving and friendly guy. It took several months of me nightly just being there for him, for him to calm down. I know how frustrating it is to want your cat to be loving! But it can happen. Besides just sitting with your cats, every day, make time to actively play with your Maine Coons with good toys (try da bird) and get involved with them. They will grow to love you, I promise. And amaze you with their sense of humor and intellect!
Marilyn Columbus, NE
This is a delightful article. Having just lost our beautiful Maine Coon this article describes her to a T. Such wonderful animals.
Cat Editor Irvine, CA
Beverly, rather than touching or walking up to them, see if they will come to you. Squat down to their level and entice them to come to you by tossing out a treat or playing with a wand toy. Make it fun and rewarding for them to come to you. Any approach they make toward you, reward them with a treat. It might take some time, but it's better to wait for them to decide that you are a safe person and that good things happen when they come to you. Once they feel comfortable approaching you, you can see if they will let you pet them. Squat down and hold out your index finger. If they touch your finger with their nose and rub their face on your hand, that's an invitation for you to pet them. Talk to the breeder who sold you the cats for any clues about their background. The breeder might have more suggestions. Also, a good breeder wants to make a good match and if it doesn't work out after you've made these efforts, the breeder will take the cats back. There are national and California Maine Coon breed rescues but hopefully after you've tried the suggestions above, there will be no need to contact them. Good luck!
Beverly San Diego, CA
I have a 6 month female and a 7 month male, I have had both for two and a half months. We are unable to touch them or even walk up to them, without them RUNNING away. I feel like the maid, feeding and cleaning up after them with NOTHING in return. I am ready to give up. I have read articls, books, I have come to the conclusion the they are feral(even though I bought them from a breeder) Any suggestions? Is there a Main Coon Rescue in San Diego, CA?
Mark Douglasville, GA
I have recently adopted a rescue, Maine Coon/Calico mix. She is such a joy to have around the house. I am really thankful for this article, for it has answered my question about the head butting. She's not rough with it, but when she wants to do it, she wants to do it.
Trevor Sebastopol, CA
I have a Maine Coon. He's almost a year old but still the size of a kitten! He's very playful and loves water - he often lifts up a toliet seat to take a swim when the water is clear.
Ann Lincoln, AL
My Maine Coon caught a baby Thrush and brought it in through the cat flap. Amazingly the bird was unharmed and our cat let us take it away from her and put it safely back outside. I love this with these cats, they love the thrill of the chase but not that bothered about the kill, which is great with me as I like to feed the birds in the garden.
Kaylene Homer, AK
This article was very helpful. My boyfriend and I received this little kitten from a friend who was going off to college, and it just so happened to be a main coon breed. She has been a handful so far(the first 5 days) but we are getting attached to our new family member Mittens. She also gets along quite well with out lab/Australian shepherd mix dog, which is only a year old. I was shocked!
Lyn Custer, SD
Donna, I have my 2nd Maine Coon cat, both have been house cats, but neither has been aggressive toward other animals, including birds. They have loved to just sit for hours and watch the bird feeder, never acting at all aggressive (jumping at it or clicking or meowing). If well-fed, I do not think she would bother your bird, especially one so large.
kayla camby, IN
i have a male maine coon that is 8 years old. he still runs around catching anything he can get his claws on. he has brought me many animals including: birds, squirrels, chipmonks, snakes, mice, rabbits, racoons, skunks, and many more. he still loves to play for his age. its like age cant get him down or slow him down for that matter. he is the best cat iv ever owned and truely my bestfriend.
Betsy Leesburg, VA
Great article - it is much more thorough than most and hits the mark, as many MC lovers have noted. We have 3 Maine Coons - 2 males and 1 female - and love them dearly. They do indeed take time to mature, but we love that. In addition to thier exceptional looks, they are smart, funny and great companions. I would recommend them to anyone.
CatChannelEditor Irvine, CA
Donna -- Great question. Perhaps other readers can comment on their experience. In the meantime, check out our sister site BirdChannel (www.birdchannel.com) for more information on living with birds.

I'm interested in adopting a female coon, she is beautiful, 6 mos old. I've been reading on the breed and they sound like a great fun campanion, but I do have one concern, my african grey parrot, does anyone have experience with a coon and parrot? I have a black lab and I took in a stray black male cat, both are great with my parrot. Looking for insight beforing adopting, thank you.
Barbara groveton, NH
That totally describes my coon cat!! glad i found this. mine will be 11 in sept. and still acts like a kitten. and i witnessed her peeing down the drain of the bathtub.she's such a princess,didn't want to use the litter box, and didn't want to go out i guess!! love my coon cat!!

Monica Mississauga, ON
I chose to become a Maine Coon cat owner after seeing a clip from a local cat show on the News, featuring a beautiful Maine Coon, and a year spent learning about them. They are great looking cats but it's their personality I find most striking. My house is currently run by 2 very lively girl (tomboy) Maine Coons (hence the names) - Maxxie (Max) and Josie (Jo). Their antics keep us amused....everything in your article is absolutely true!
Jules Westland, MI
I have a 1 year old maine coon called Merlin. He actually tells me when its bath time. He will sit on the edge of the tub watching my 5 year old bathe. This article does describe the personality traits to a "T". When he plays, he plays like a kitten. He doesn't seem to realize he is 16 pounds of kitten.
Christian Grey Eagle, MN
We adopted a 5 year old female main coon. Not much of a snuggler, but loves to sit in the center of the floor and look majestic. After reading this article, I now understand why she likes to drink out of the bathtub faucet. I thought she was just weird at first. As soon as I awake or come home from work, she meows for me to turn on the faucet. It's like clockwork.
Belinda Swanson, OR
how much does a male Maine Coon cat cost? I'm really interested in getting some prices and photos of 10 or so 6 month old of this breed. Please email me back or you can reach me by phone;503-353-0751; Belinda firstname.lastname@example.com
Linda Westchester, NY
I have a maine coon/persian mix this article describes his personality to a T! He loves to play with water but hates to be engulfed in it and constantly lies in the bathtub. He is this giant fluffy bear that just hangs around and loves to jump everywhere. They are def not lap cats but will either be on the table or night stand next to you or just constantly around you. His purring can be heard from a mile away. I can't wait to go home and see him now haha.
Jennifer sevierville tn, TN
i adopted a maine coon a month ago was told a female tonight we notice testicles that were not there before we were shocked
Shannon Winter Harbor, ME
Great that you found Star a home. Warning though, there are ALOT of people on petfinder stating that they'll pay to ship your pet & give it a great home. It is a confirmed scam for lab animals. Lots of these out of CA & TX. Pay very careful attention to responses to your ads. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
elizabeth normal, IL
When we got our part maine coon I fell in love with him instantly bc at the pet store he sat in my arms for 20 min just purring away as dogs barked and children ran around screaming. He is fun loving and a giant goof ball. He is very loyal; I am sick in bed and my cat "Zeno" won't leave my side. Many times I have been outside and all I do is call his name and he comes running to me like I'm a giant tuna fish. Whenever I have friends over for a movie he walks right into the room, plops down, and demands to be pet. Then a day later I will recieve a txt asking how my little guy is doing.

A Maine Coon adopted us about 1.5 years ago; tried to find his owners with no luck - begain looking for a home last year, but had no luck w/this economy - I was honestly hoping to keep this dear of a cat - He is all black w/one tiny white spot on his chest and his name is 'Star' Fish - He wanted a home from the get-go, but unfotunately, we have one cat, and my spouse is just not an 'animal person' sadly for him - he is missing out on so much . . . to make a long story short, I had to begin looking again to find him a loving and accepting home - he received a lot of 'mixed messages' but still came back and really chose this as 'his home' . . . he is at least 10 years old and VERY agile for his agexo I named him correctly because he truly has STAR quality, trulyxo I love this boy - truly a dearxo I started to advertize again on petfinder.com and just found a woman who will ship him very carefully to Bedford Hills, CA - I am just amazed really . . . and so happy for Star - although my heart aces that I cannot be the one to love on him - I will miss him SOOOOO much - I am happy that he will be in home (and out of these brutal NE winters) . . . and have a family that will love him like their own childxo He is just a GEM +++ He had already been neutered - he is definitely a stray because of his Domesticated qualities - w/lots of love and patience - a loving family will take him out of is 'hyper-mode' just trying to survive and calm him down - which is what he wants so very much - he is napping on my couch right now - not on the seat pillow, of course, but on the back where we put our heads - he is such a neat cat - our vet fell in love w/him +++ and so did I. He will be picked up and check by a vet right from my door and brought to sunny California - an amazing happy ending and answer to prayer - I kept telling him I would 'find him the BEST home.' . . . and look how God answered that prayer +++ Truly amazing and not at all surprised - it is a Christian home as well - and they will treat him like their child. . . what more could I have asked for really! Thank You Lord! Sweet time as a foster momxo Many Sweet, Sweet memories to hold in my heart foreverxo

I have become the companion and, well, servant of a part Maine Coon. I think he's only half because he's a tuxedo cat; his long tail isn't very bushy; his outer coat is not shaggy; and he doesn't have feathery ears. On the other hand, his paws are huge, he washes his food, he enjoys his baths, he does have an inner coat and although (I think) he's around 10, he's still just as playful as a kitten. He's as loving as any cat or dog I ever had and seems to be quite intelligent. He weighs 18 very muscular pounds. He is FIV positive and I wish I knew more about him, the disease, and how to take care of him.
Glenn Toronto, LA
Loved it - we had a maine coon for 12 years and he was all of that - I did not realize that alot of maine coons head butted (ours did this as well) and I thought it was silly - but then again - he was just a big goof.

My mother-in-law got two MCs last year (unbeknownst to her) to keep her company after my father-in-law passed. My husband and I LOVED them, so we got our first MC in January, a shelter rescue we named Getty (short for Gettysburg). He instantly became the focal point of the house. He has a great playful personality, is sweet, affectionate and follows me around like our yellow lab follows my husband. At 11 weeks, he's twice as big as he was when we adopted him! He's an awesome cat!
Heather Toronto, ON
I just got two MC kittens... although at 7 months they are way bigger than my other cats. I didn't know they were MC until I started to research their very beautiful and distinct features. I especially love their huge webbed feet. My two babies I think are sibs. Sasha is a tabby and Louie is black and white. They are wonderful, funny, clown-like, knuckle heads and the love of my life.
Claudia Juneau, AK
Enjoyed the article about MCs. Its all true and more. I have had cats all my life. Got my first MC 12yrs. ago. He was the complete love of my life in every way possible. I lost him Dec.l. I am painfully sad and lost without my Benjamin. If or when I decide to have another companion it will definitely be a MC. Anyone looking for a feline, get a MC; you will not be disappointed.
Katie Grand Ledge, MI
I love my MC. She is a rescue that we adopted from the local shelter. Tabitha, aka Tabby, is so sweet and so gentle that it is often hard to believe how big she really is. We also had a MC before this one who passed away. She too was sweet and gentle. The article is right about the vocabulary of these cats. I just love to hear Tabby "talk". In my experience they are a very intelligent and social breed.
John san francisco, CA

Sheri Brooklyn, NY
I have a 8 year old Maine Coon named Gabriel. He is truly the love of my life. He has been there with me through all that I have gone through in the past years and greets me and my boyfriend every night when we come home from work by "speaking to us". He responds with trills and chirps. He responds to his name or to his nicknames "Fatboy" or "Budda Butt":)
Colleen Brookfield, IL
I adore my Maine Coone. He is truly a gentle giant. His name is Wolfman. He is extremely affectionate and has his moments when he butts heads with me to let me know he just wants a simple pat on the head or a belly rub and all is right with the world.
brandi lake worth, FL
I have a maine coon mix. I didnt know until the vet told me and I started to do some research and his personality so fits. His name is Cashew and he is just over 1yrs old. I got a kitten 7 months ago and he took it like it was his baby, let him try to feed off of him and cleans him and sleeps with him. I have 3 cats all together and he is special.. My house of nuts Peanut 3.5yrs old(tom cat), Cashew 1 yr old (maine coon mix), and Macadamia 7mnths(siamese mix).
Lisa Bronx, NY
Maine Coons are the best! My husband never wanted a cat, now he wishes we had cloned her. Mocha passed away recently and was playfull to the end. The personality of this breed is truely great as this article discribes. I do recommend brushing every day, Mocha would track me down every night at 7pm to be brushed. Only took 5 minutes but it was our time, then play time. I also recommend fresh water in more than one spot in your house. Mocha would climb over my head to get to my water glass by the side of my bed at night. I finally put one closer to the floor for her in her senior years. It will take a while to get over her, but I will definity get another maine coon in time.
idella ivory toledo, OH
the article is so true of my cat named stewy, hes one years old hes wonderful to love.
Marty Dayton, OH
I have a 5 year old butterscotch male maine coon and I absolutely adore him. I have 3 others but he is most like a friend. No matter where I go, he is there. He weighs 23 pounds and is currently laying right here on my computer table with his paws touching as I type. He is pretty vocal with me and he is my shadow and when I sit down to eat he has his own chair. Yes - those who don't like cats tend to like Gizmo - how can you not? He was given to me at 9 weeks old and I think he thinks he is human. He loves going outside and races me to the door and runs out on the porch and in the backyard he lays close to wherever I am.
Tonya Nunya, FL
I agree, I have a 16 year old Maine Coon (Sonny) he is my boy... He is funny, loving, playful (still) and the best cat in the world. He loves to be brushed and he loves my back massager (he comes running when i turn it on) odd cat he is. Maine Coons are the best breed. They are sweet, Sonny likes to pat my face and lick my nose to wake me up every morning, no alarm clock needed with him. He recently started to lose weight and i took him to his vet, they put him on Prednizone and he is eating and feeling much better, I take him back in the morning for a follow up visit. I know he will be fine cause he is my Sonny Bunny.. If you do get a Maine Coon you MUST BRUSH THEM!
Pam Newton, KS
Maine Coons are the best cats to have. I have had cats all my life and Maine Coons are the best. But let me submit one thing to consider about them. Most Maine Coons have really long fur and some of them have fur that is the texture that will mat easily. Be sure to always keep that fur combed out because just like any cat Maine Coons like to groom themselves. Some of you might have experienced them throwing up that fur as it builds up within them. My beautiful,Purebreed, Red Classic Tabby, never threw it up. He also never showed any signs of it causing any real trouble until this last January he quit eating. Took him to the vet and she discovered his colon was full of all that fur. She was able to take care of it and we thought he was all better until two weeks ago. I had been gone for about a half an hour and came home to find him coughing a terrible cough. Took him to the vet and she once again cleaned out his colon but he continued to keep coughing. She exrayed his esaphagus and found hair there. She tried to use an endoscope to get it but her endoscope wasn't long enough. Had to take him to a Veterian Medical Center about 3 hours away. They also tried to get it out and finally wound up pushing part of it in his stomach and operating on it to remove it. The problem with that all is the esophagus can't take all that and was damaged. They pulled him through all that and began feeding him through a tube directly into his stomach so the esophagus could heal. Was doing pretty good for a couple of days but the esophagus was damaged and finally ruptured causing fluid to leak into his chest cavity and begin to drown him. At this point there wasn't anymore they could do for our beautiful boy and we had to consent to having him put down at barely 5 years old. We have another Maine Coon that is within 2 weeks of Sunny's age and when we brought the carrier home without Sunny he knew that Sunny wouldn't be coming home, as you said they are smart. He began grieving for him and I thought we would lose him too to grief. All this to warn you to keep your Maine Coon combed really good and watch them closely for any signs of problems. If your Maine Coon develops a bad cough have your vet exray the esophagus right away. Time can make a difference on whether they live or not. It is too late for my beautiful boy. I wish I could go back and do it all over, but it is too late. It is like losing a child. One time they are doing so good and the next time they are gone.
Phyllis Prescia Medford, NY
Gentle giant is quite the perfect name. I have a male maine coon since he was 12 weeks, he is 5 now. I love him to death. It is amazing when he wants my attention. He will actually come up behind me, push me and then run. I have so much fun playing with him. His size and beauty amaze me. He loves company which is very impressive to friends especially other cat lovers. This is the cat to have if you truly want to interact with your feline.
Lon Shell Rock, IA
Just buried my maine coon cat tuesday and it was truly a sad day. My father got him as a stray in 1994 and was full grown at the time. My father passed away in 1996 and my mother in 1998. I have had this cat named Hobo ever since and there was never a dull day.Almost everythig stated in this article is true about a coon cat except he really did not care for water. I will miss this cat for a very long time. And it is true about people that don't like cats REALLY liked Hobo. If you are looking for a great cat get a maine coon as you will not be sorry

This article perfectly describes my own cat, Munchkin, in nearly every detail! Munchkin was originally rescued at 3 weeks of age from the Newport News Shipyard where she was found orphaned in 2006. Her extremely fast learning ability is truly amazing! Whenever I see the way she looks at me...I am reminded of just how close her young life nearly ended before it had even begun!

I also have a mixed Maine Coon and this article describes him perfectly right down to the trills he makes instead of the typical meow. I totally adore him as does my adult son who favors dogs ovr cats. Max won his heart from the get go. We are constantly amazed at how he uses his big paws to grab and hold onto things or throw them. He does love walking on a leash and we can even put hin on a dog tie out when we are in the yard with him. He doesn't wear the typical harness though, he wears a walking jacket and he loves it. Thank you for a great and informative article.

The article on the Maine Coon cat was very informative. We have a black & white mixed maine coon and short hair. He trully has alot of the characterics of the Maine Coon. Thank you for this well written article.

My 4 year old male, Damian exhibits almost every trait this article talks about. He is extremely affectionate towards me (I'm his favorite human) and my boyfriend is his second favorite. I have had him since he was just 4 weeks old. Just like the article states, my boyfriend does not like cats at all but does love ours. Damian is extremely intelligent as well, even opening doors by twisting the knob! I've never been a cat person until I had my boy. He's a momma's boy through and through..always hugging my neck, snuggling and giving kisses (even on command!) He also enjoys singing. If I sing to him he jumps from the floor to my shoulders and snuggles and purrs...giving me a harsh chirp and slap on the face with his paw if i stop singing lol! He's almost like having a human child!
Carla Medford, KS
I adopted Gracie Jane when my 17 yr old was put to sleep and she exhibits many of the traits in the article, She has a terrible habit of shredding wallpaper and i really dont know how to prevent her from doing this. A squirt from a water pistol seems to have an immediate effect but then she goes right back to it!!!Now she is 4 months old and many days i think I should send her back where she came from but then she will climb in my lap and settle in for a cuddle and I melt!!! She is sweet ans sassy and I guess she is here to stat!!!

Allene from Woburn: My cat (Stella LaBella) say that you should get a laser pointer for Bella. She will happily chase that and get worn out! Be careful not to shine the laser into her eyes. Stella also likes to pop bubbles (the kind you blow with kids). You may find she will play fetch, too. Stella and her brother, Murphy, love all of these games! My Maine Coons pretty much fit the description in the article, except both like to be lap cats MOST of the time. Murphy is a shoulder cat, and Stella likes the lap.....at my house, you will be a human cat tree!
Linda Woburn, MA
Loved your article! Our twin boys, Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln, a.k.a Jeff and Linc are a Maine Coon mix and are the most delightful cats, exhibiting all the characteristics you mentioned and are so like dogs, too. They want to be with us all the time, following us from room to room. I laughed when you talked about their love of water. That's Jeff! He practically lives in the kitchen sink! And you were so right about them being a man's cat. My husband wasn't really an animal lover, but has fallen in love with these guys. It's a match made in heaven.
Malcolm Nelson Perth Australia, HI
We have a Maine Coon cat most of your article relates to our cat. There is one strange behavior pattern of ours it to disturb my husband every night wanting attention. He appears on top of him most every our of the night looking for loving has we call it. Moment you pat him he wonders off and in the next hour he is back againg for some more petting. He is five years old we don't know whether it is normal behaviour for his breed. We love him dearly although my husband doesn't get much sleep at night. Has you mentioned he definitely a mans cat. His name is Prince from Austrlia
Allene Wheeling, IL
Fantastic article. I think you must have been spying on Bella and myself. I adopted her about 4 weeks ago and knew nothing about this breed. She was so total opposite of my last cat that I was dumbfounded. However, after reading about the breed she is the consumate female Maine Coon. I am still getting used to her wanting to play 24/7 but I think she is training me well! Can anyone tell me about activities I can do with her?
Joni Indianapolis, IN
I have two brothers (we call them the fluffy twins) who are 7 months old and each weigh 13 lbs. After I adopted them and started researching cat breeds, they were identical to Maine Coon kittens. Eyes, ears, long, long fluffy tail, and that cute trill voice. And I cannot run a faucet anywhere in the house without having two huge kittens in the middle of everything. They love to spend time around the big dog bowl, splashing the water EVERYWHERE. Although they came from a little, short-haired momma, daddy must have been a Maine Coon and they got ALL his genes.
Laurie Buena Park, CA
We've been trying to figure out what our DSH mix is "mixed" with. Because of his colors and many spots rather than stripes, we suspected he was part Bengal, but after reading about the Maine Coon Cat, I think we've found our mix. He has all the traits of this breed: huge size, love of water, wanting to be near you but not ON you, playfulness, intelligence, and how he eats when we eat. The only thing he doesn't share is the longer coat which I think would be the DSH in him. We LOVE our cat, Milton, and he suits our household perfectly! Thanks for the excellent information.
Kathy Clearwater, FL
My 4 year old Maine Coon male weighed 17 lbs. at 7 months old. He now weighs a lien and healthy 24 lbs. I have raised several Maine Coons and it is a mith that they grow for 4 years. This cat reached his 24 lbs by the time he was 18 months old. I have another that hit just 12 lbs. at 8 months and has never grown above that. He is now 6 years old. It has been my experience that they grown just like any other cat and people do tend to greatly exagerate their weight a lot.
Dahloan Macclenny, FL
I have a cat that is part Maine Coon> While not verified, she has many of the charcteristis, m on the forehead, bush tail. She is grey/brown and medium fur. One way I found out she was a maincoon was by reseraching her strange habits. Following me around the house, greeting us when we come home, wanting to go on a walk every evening at 10 pm her appointed time and her love to sit on the bath tub while I take a bath. Not to mention that she does not like to eat alone, we must sit with her. Sometimes she acts more like a dog. ANyway, thought I'd share. Dahloan Hembree, ownser of Cleopatria
Karen Geneva, IL
We recently adopted two maine coon mix kittens - brothers. They are only 6 months old and already weigh 8.6 and 9 pounds. Does anyone know enough about maine coon growth habits to make a guess at how big they'll be when they're fully grown? They aren't fat, but getting big and strong. We adore them in every way. Maine coons are the best cats.
Charisse Brooklyn, NY
I have a five year old Maine Coon and we are very bonded. He is very typical of the breed description. He like to drape his body across my body in bed and he can't eat alone. The article doesn't mention, however, that the male Maine Coon can be a little possessive and may display a little jealousy. My boyfriend feels certain that my cat doesn't like him.
Erin Arlington, MA
This was a really interesting article to read. I'm bringing home a Maine Coon kitten on Friday, so I'll likely be reading tons of stuff like this. They are certainly wonderful cats :)
katie Lawton, OK
I too have a Maine Coon Cat. She is wonderful and loves the water. Dishes, baths, it makes no difference. She plays in the sink with her whole body. Never another will be like her. A love to our family. Gosh...just send more toys.!!!!
F St Andrews Fife, AL
We rescued a 5 year old Main Coon today who has been abandoned and abused. He is currently lying at my feet purring while I type. He has settled right in! and my wife said we would never have another cat!
Earl & Donna Miller Wyandotte, MI
Wev are fostering a Maine coon at the present time. He is very aloof during the day with us but will go near company that comes in.if we move or reach for him he is gone. however nitghtime is totally different he will come in bed to be rubbed anywhere on his body including face and paws.He will romp tussle and play with our calico cat night and day especially at night around 3:00 am.he gets along extremely well with our sons 22lb mixed breed dog rubbing and trying to get him to play. he does jump into and lay in our bath and jacuzzi tubs. due to his daytime aloofness we are not sure he will be a good candidate for adoption by someone looking for daytime companionship.
Marla South haven, KS
I so enjoyed reading this as my 21 week old Maine Coon is cuddled up in some soft very important papers on my desk. Refuses to go to bed before I do. I absolutly love this baby , Thank You, Just can't say enough about this loving breed!!!!Whoever created them or found them Thank You.
Aaron Bremerton, WA
My cat loves to cuddle, he is gentle most of the time. If you rub his belly he gets into a playful mode and start to swipe. I just love him because he is so fluffy and sweet.
Bri Denver, CO
I have just been blessed with owning my first maine coon. Out of the many cats I've raised in my life, the maine coon is by far the best breed! At only 4 months old she shows more personality than the average kitten. She loves to cuddle directly under my neck, she LOVES to talk (or should I say squabble), and she absolutely loves the water. In fact, I will often find her laying near her water bowl scooping the water unto her belly. Put an icecube in the bowl and it's all over:)) My little mainecoon, whom we named Percy, has brought so much joy to our lives. I thought I wanted to start a family right away, but having her around is just enough for now. If you're considering getting a coon, keep in mind that they require much attention and affection. Though they are super easy to care for, they appreciate being played with and cuddling all the time.
Tish Rolla, MO
We have been blessed with two Maine Coons in our lives. Blue our male and Charity (Teetee as our grandaughter christened her). Teetee is one of the Maine's shown in this magazine (page 115). They are prone to thievery as someone else here mention. Blue steals things from purses, diaperbags, dressers etc. and you will find them later in his toy basket. They do believe that the world and everything in it is theirs. I do love our furbabies.
Carol Jonesport, ME
Maine Coon cats are my favorite breed. I have always loved them. I own one now.
Irene Clearwater, FL
We took a cat in that had chewed off all her fur except for her head and paws. I was so surprised by the fur on the paws and how big they were. To our suprise, when the fur grew back after months of nursing, our "Little Bit" became a big furry Maine Coon! I had no idea until I showed her to someone and they were pleasantly surprised to find a Maine Coon. I immediately started looking up info on this strange creature. This article helped me to understand why she doesn't meow. Thanks
Sara Burlington, NC
We adopted two Maine Coon mix kitties who are now 4-1/2 months old. They are without a doubt, the most loving and delightfully entertaining kitties we've ever seen. They are fearless, even of the vacuum cleaner and our galumpus of a Basset Hound. They both love water, and recently when the bathtub was draining and Minerva jumped into four inches of water, she didn't immediately jump out and run, she deliberately hopped out of the tub and then sat on the bath mat to dry. They love to sleep draped across my throat, after nibbling on my ear lobes, and Luna, the longer haired of the two enjoys sleeping in my lap as I work on the computer. Right now her head and right front paw are both resting in the crook of my elbow as I type. They, too, don't meow in the normal sense, but trill and chirp instead. Minerva, the great huntress, is a great fly girl, and can nab a fly in mid-air. When sitting at the window looking out at birds, she makes this odd clacking sound, which I've learned is a normal sound make by kitties on the hunt. We couldn't be happier, and look forward to watching them grow into big, beautiful kitties.
Sue Birmingham. England. UK, AA
I have a 7 month old Maine Coon who has made a big impression since his arrival at 9 weeks old. He is very laid back with my other 3 cats and just does his own thing although he loves a good rough and tumble with Murphy, my 4 year old cat. He likes to play with water but hates to get wet. At the merest hint of rain he dashes back into the house like a bullet from a gun. He does enjoy climbing when in the garden. He hasn't had any dealings with mice yet, but has found a couple of frogs to play with. He likes to be involved in household chores, or to just watch, and his favourite thing is to lie right across the newspaper as I'm trying to read it. He is the best thing ever and has such a lovely personality.
Melodie Clearwater, FL
I have a black maine coon cat. He is a "trip". He is totally amused with water and on occasion sleeps in the tub. He is capable of carrying the oddest things in his mouth, honeybuns, hotdog buns, socks. He also predicts storms...
Katie Chicago, IL
I have had maine coons before but I just adopted one from someone who was moving across the country. He, Bandit, is the funniest cat I have ever seen. He bolts around the apartment and then crashes to take a nap under my bed. He also does the head butting thing which actually hurts but I take it as a sort of compliment. He is very cuddly and tries to sleep on top of my head when I go to bed, haha. He is truly a blessing and I would never trade him for the world.
Jerry Martinez, CA
I agree. We love our little female, Bella. She is the most loving and intelligent cat. She is blessing to my wife, who has spent a good deal of time in bed, due to prolonged illness. We "rescued" this little cat from horrible conditions and have loved her ever since.
twenz Naperville, IL
My cat is 3/4 Main Coon and 1/4 Siamese,he is almost 8 months old and weighs close to twenty pounds! I rescued him from the wild, and he fit in the palm of my hand. Guess I didn't know what I was getting into at the time. I'm offically the only person in Naperville to have one. He does the head bunt thing, and I love it. The only thing is he steals things; erasers, hairties, the drainstoper from the bathtub (which is metal and weighted), and I can't get him to stop.
superchick canton, OH
I have a Maine Coon cat at my house. It was originally a stray that had a home but the owners either didn't want him, they couldn't afford to keep him,or the cat got lost so it came to our house.I love Maine Coons because mine is so pretty and it is a long haired cat.
Carla Farmington Hills, MI
I've had cats all my life and now have a maine Coon. He IS different; tough, willful, extremely intelligent, and sweet as can be. Except for naps, he must always be busy and needs many toys and distractions. He can be very rough in play but is easily trained to 'pull his punches'. Although it is a challange sometimes to be the center of his attention, he's highly amusing and charming, a really great breed!
Mike Deerfield, IL
I always wondered why my cat seemed so different from other cats, this explains a lot! My cat will headbutt me and I love it, I'll usually get down on all fours just to give him an easier reach. It's pretty common for me to wake up and see him climbing our roofs (he'll jump from the fence to the roof, he's quite a climber!) Word to the wise, don't leave your bathroom door open or he'll climb into the shower with you.
Katy London, SD
I have a rescue Maine coone and he is forever opening cpbard doors and switching on extractor fans! He is the most playful and inquistive cat I have ever had. I had to buy a dog bowl for him to eat from as his head was far to ig for an ordinary cat bowl!!!
Patty & Stan Colchester, CT
Great article. I have to add one more thing. Our large kitty sits up on her hind legs and looks around when she hears a strange noise. She resembles a groundhog. She will sit like this for minutes at a time. She does lots of head butting but it is an act of love on her part.
Tanya Madison, WI
I have a pure bread Maine Coon and like this article states he does get a little rough with me, but doesn't seem to do it with anybody else. We sure have our differences but he is like my 2 year old baby that will never grow up. He loves me carrying him around the house, he's so inquisitive about food, and our activities, it's great! I made the best decisioin I've made in a long time when I decided to buy him.
sally dodge coeurdalene,, ID
We inherited a stray and our vet told us he was a Maine Coon. Had never heard of it, but he fits the descriptions exactly. He is a clown, loves water loves to climb on our roof and counters. Even loves the snow. We live in Idaho! I would like to forward a picture and see what you think.
Saija Verona, NJ
It's a little hard to type right now with my huge 4-month-old kitten stretched out over my arms. Since my son-in-law started pointing out my cat's unusual characteristics and proposed that he may be a Maine Coon, I've been trying to learn more about my adopted friend. I saw a picture on Wikipedia of show-ready Maine Coons and the middle one looks just like my Ollie. Your article confirms his breed even more, with the fur sticking out of his ears and between his toes, his very furry tail, his personality and fascination with water. I guess I'll have a huge ever-playful kitty to put a smile on my face for years to come. I'm guessing that since he was a stray that there would be no reason to refrain from neutering him?
Sue Ft. Worth, TX
I have always had cats, but my Maine Coon is the most fun of all. He was found as a stray but well cared for. I got him from my vet. I love Cat Fancy. The article in the Dec. magazine was Great. The pictures of the gray and black looks just like my Thomas. He lkes walking on a leash. We get a lot of attention. He is about 13 mo old, and we have been together most of the time. Thank You.
John Longmont, CO
This is the best of many articles I've read on Maine Coons. I wish I could say Motor is a purebred MC, but, unfortunately, I know it ain't so. This already very large tabby only misses perfect CFA points because of his very slightly short tail. His "mom" is a small and aloof Norwegian Forest we were given by a friend; somewhere in our neighborhood there MUST be a magnificent male MC specimen, because Motor (our tom) clearly takes after his "dad". He's a beautiful physical specimen and fits the personality characteristics to a tee. You bet he's a "man's cat"! He chose me as his main human, and is completely and utterly fearless, ready to "attack" and brawl with our knee-high Sharpei from the time he was a palm-sized fuzzball. He chased a neighborhood stray dog thrice his size back over the fence and out of our back yard. He also forced "submission" out of our Rat Terrier when Motor was only about three months old--now they're best buddies. I only wish I could show my big buddy, but, alas, he isn't pedigreed. Thank you for your excellent article.
Elizabet Marquette, MI
Thank you for the very informative article. My vet mentioned my 10 lb 7month old rapidly growing kitty, Deuce, may be a Maine Coon cat. After reading your article, Deuce has many characteristics of a "Coon". I am so proud of him and look forward to our many years with him. Thanks again!
Cat Lover abc, NY
Thanks a lot for this great article. I already own three cats and hopefully I will get a Maine Coon or two in the future :).

Intresting article! Ienjoyed reading it! my cats are Maine Coons too!
Shawn and Allison Dexter, MI
(Mom)A neiborhood boy was walking by one day with the most beautiful kitten. When I asked him if I could pet her he said she was going to the Humane Society tomorrow because his family couldn't keep her. Let's just say she never made it there. When I brought her home it took awhile for her to warm up to my dominant American Shorthaired Male. They are now best friends and yes she is the Alpha Female. She is my boyfriend's favorite and he gives her so much affection that when he's not around she expects it from me. She is trained to fetch by the way and is so facinated with baths. Your article was right on. (Dad) I was online looking for a model agency to put my cat in when I found the first site on a maine coon that was descriptive, accurate, and totally described mine, I was never very familiar with this AMAZING breed, I always thought I had the 1 in a billion, with the unique meow and other physical characteristics, Still, I know mine is 1 in a billion, and the thought that this cat could have gone to the Humane Society makes me SICK! She is definately daddy's little girl. Great Article.
Laura & Madison Townsend, MA
I was searching for information on Maine Coon cats with my 10 year old daughter. Most articles were boring and said the same thing over and over again. However, to our delight...we read your article and it gave us so much more information about these cats. It was also humorous and fun to read. Thanks for the great information. Our new addition to the family will be here in a couple weeks and can't wait :-)
Heather Princeton, IN
I just have to say that they are some of the most beutiful cats I have ever seen.
Jackie Horsham, PA
Your article about the gentle giants was wonderful. My Maine Coon, Fluffy was the gentilest and smartest of all the cats I ever owned. She would sit and give you her paw on command, play catch and identified herself as the Alpha to the other cats and dog in the household. She also relayed this to Sam, my son's 200lb. English Mastiff. She will always be my favorite cat of all time.
Edna Tampa Bay area, FL
I have a sweet-n-silly Maine Coon mix (or possibly purebred?) female, adopted from our county animal shelter. She is about to turn two years old and is a gorgeous, comical character who is extremely intelligent and observant. Maine Coons are wonderful and your article really captures their specialness. Well done!
Cathy Medford, NJ
I got mine at Petco in Cherry Hill. I showed my MC a picture of one of the cats and she reached out and tried to touch it! Nice magazine.
Sharon Madison, IN
I think the Popular Cat Series is great! Are you planning to include the Birman cat in the series?
Janette Fox Lake, IL
Everything stated is so true! My Coon is 2 years old, blind in one eye but does not let that stop him in any activity he wants to do. He's also the most athletic cat I've ever had, deliberately climbing the cat trees backwards just to get a bit more exercise in. If you're looking for a fun cat to be part of the family I strongly recommend the Maine Coon

Are you planning on making other issues on other breeds of cats for thr Popular Cat Series Magabooks? It's about time this happened!!!!! If you do could make issues on Oriental Shorthairs, Shynx,Chartruex,Ragdolls,Ragamuffins,Siberians. ,etc THANKS FOR MAKING THIS ALL HAPPEN!!!It's very hard to find books on breed-specific Cats!!

I have a faux book that I create A4 pages of the familys favorite books. The above page will go in as a singular sheet to start with and when I have enough pages I will bind the book together somehow. This isnt the cover of the book we have but I thought this version of it looked prettier. I will insert some photographs of the inside pages and the concise write up of what the book is about etc in between the two cardboard covers that make up the mini book. (So it will be a book inside a book;)
Above and below are close-ups of the faux hinges that I have made out of the new black heart lace and a little gem cut off from the beaded jewels. I am one to cut things up and make a lot more use out of it than to keep it just as one...a bit like when you're a child and you break the biscuit up into eight pieces to make it look like more...? I sincerely hope someone other than me can relate to that...

I wondered about that too. Let me explain: a damage *insert stat here* effect, permanently decreases the stat. but a drain, is only temporary. if it says drain *insert stat here* 1 point for 60 seconds, then it will only decrease your stat by one point, for 60 seconds. when the timer is up, the drained stats go back.
