You’re very welcome. I love anything with fur.

Maine Coons are WONDERFUL! A friend had one and I adored it.

My wolfhound and tiny Persian were the same color, and the huge dog would hold down the tiny cat with one paw and lick her until she was soggy. The only ones protective toward one another were my dogs. When I brought in a 3rd puppy, the middle dog would keep moving between the old dog and the puppy to keep his old friend from being bothered.

We toured an open house last weekend. The owner was on the back porch with his Maine Coon sitting on the little round table next to him, totally unperturbed at the people coming and going. His name was "Hercules" which I thought was just right for that big guy. I think he weighed close to 18 pounds.

Here's our little "Merlin" tabby at maybe 4 or 5 months holding down our tortie "Bella." She was very nice to him, then he grew up and turned into a monster who chases her a lot. He weighs about 12 pounds now at 4 years and looks just like Hercules.

LOL. Pets are a handful but provide so much love and entertainment.
