Vee, you can get a Maine C00N cat through a rescue group or at a shelter. just tell them what you want or look at petfinder.org. Please don't use a breeder...

Cool
Cat
Domestic Long Hair,Maine Mix

Size: Extra Large
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Notes: I am a 3 year old gent in need of a home where no one is allergic to me. I am a large man that prefers a quiet environment as I can be laid back and reserved. I radiate a smooth and suave aura (hence the name "Cool") . The sun just doesn't go down in my world. I am neutered, up to date on vaccinations and free of fleas. Granted, I need a good brushing now and then, but I won't tell you that I enjoy it. I would rather go about my own business and let you go about yours. I am friendly and sweet, but I can promise I won't be a needy man that will always be in your face demanding endless attention or making hideous request.

to type the word use the 0 in the number line instead of o's that's the only way to type the word c00n, because it is a bad word on the tvch list.

i have a purebred maine c00n. she is currently 9 years old. she is a grand champion. i paid quite alot of money for her, but i wanted to show her. she is a tortie and gorgeous. since she was a runt (she only grew to 16lbs.) she was always "dainty". she still is. she walks like she is on eggshells, and the judges always liked that!

What adorable pictures, everyone!

Landi, Belle is certainly one gorgeous kitty. That tail is magnificent! (Thanks for explaining the problem we were having, too, and how to avoid it).

Julie, I can't believe that you went to all that trouble on my behalf! Goodness, I'm speechless! I could go ten miles in one direction and pick up a kitty that you've listed and ten miles in the other and pick up two more! I see that they like room to move...I don't have much room here, I'll have to check more into that, but I am going to let my friends and family know about petfinder.org. Thanks a lot, hon! I really appreciate it!

We had a Maine C.oon cat...he was an orange Tabby looking cat we called Scooter. He was always trying to get outside and one day when we weren't looking...he made it outside and ran away.

When he left us...he was a year old and weighed about 15 pounds. I wish we still had him...I would like to know just how big he would have gotten.

Maine C.oon's are very distinctive as they don't really meow...they have this kind of chirping noise they make...or at least the two we have do. Scooter chirped and now we have Jack...Jack is a maine c.oon mix.

If I can find a picture of Scooter...I'll post it.

Oh now that's interesting about the chirping because my parents have a cat that is beautiful with the long hair, quite large, and with the plumed tail. Everyone always says that she looks like a Maine C00n cat, but my folks just got her from a farm...they thought they were getting a barn kitty. Anyway, she chirps!

there is nothing like that noise at 5:00am when my belle-kitty decided to walk up my body and make this extremely loud noise in my ear!

LOL Critter makes a trilling sound and she can purr and trill at the same time.. she's only ten pounds so I don't think she's even partly mainecoon but she makes great noises.

The next door black cat kind of sings in a high pitched voice.. very sweet..

That tail ia amazing, Landi!!

Awww...what cute kitty cat pictures!

Here's a pair of strays I've been looking after since this spring. I really hope to find them homes before winter comes. I apologize for the picture quality, used an old Polaroid camera to take them. And please ignore my shaggy, windblown ponytail in the bottom picture, lol!

This big fella just had surgery on his right eye last week. He's a gentle giant - always purring & rubbing and he never uses his claws or teeth when I'm giving him his medicine. It was difficult to take his picture because he wouldn't stay still - every step back I'd take, he'd just follow me. He loves to be near people.

This one absolutely loves to play - with cat toys, yarn, shoes, you name it! She slips in my house occasionally and races around with my cat Spencer. She's been spayed.

There's something about furbabies that just make your day so much better!

Love the straight black, Sea! What do you call her? Ms. Lucy is prescious, love those eyes! Max has some amazing stripes, and Landi... wow, what a beautiful tail she's got! Deej, you've got quite a looker there yourself!

Actually, the "mirror" one I posted is actually the sill of our living room window. Here's one of Holly on the same ledge.

OMG, I'd have a heart attack if that was Critter.. she's definitely an inside kitty..

I figure her estimated year before we met at the pound left her with kittens (that they claimed they never found), running free, picked up and jailed and she got very very sick right after I brought her home.. to the tune of about $800 and many tears and vets saying it was hopeless, so she's not going anywhere :-) Eleven years later it seems to have been a great idea.

But that is a very cool picture!! Such cute kitties too..

oh, i love all the kitty pics! sea, your girl looks just like my grandma's cat, named pretty baby.

karen, your kitty holly looks a lot like one i got to be my girl's playmate, but it just didn't work out. they were both about a year old and both female. bad idea. she was a beautiful cat, though. so my girl is an only kitty now. and absolutely SPOILED ROTTEN.

::sigh::

Here's a pic of Scooter...our beloved Maine C.oon that kept trying and trying to get out of the house...one day he did and we haven't seen him since. He was a great cat...I think I said he was a year old when he escaped..my wife says he was closer to 18 months or maybe even 2 years old. All I know is that I would love to have known just how big he was going to get...he was huge!
