1. Oh my gosh
The two with the white on their faces are almost mirror images of each other.

Kittens, I wanna bring them all home. They're just too darn cute:-)

3. What a magnificent CAT
OMG he's huge. I'm sorry he's gone now :-(
However just what in the heck did he weigh? :wow:

9. He was a 20-pound lap cat
He weighed 20 pounds, but he was overweight. His ideal weight was 18 1/2 lbs. This cat crushed me when he decided to curl up on my lap!

5. OMG how adorable!
My sweetie who has maligant cancer is a Maine Coon. I adore her totally. She was a stray who was found on the streets at Christmas in the freezing cold when she was about 6 mos old. I had never even heard of Maine Coons before until a breeder walked by my house and remarked on her.
She has always been tiny at only 7 pounds but has the ego of a tiger hence the name, Tuffie.
She thinks she is big game kitty and she likes it when I let her prove her prowness. I tell her how tuff she is and she eats it up.
She is as playful at 11 as she was when I first got her.

17. Yes, she is.
She might even want to attack them. Nah, I think she'd just keep an eye on them and start hollering at them if she didn't like what they were doing. :-)
