New York Cat Show, Part IV

I had never met a Maine Coon kitty in real life before. I'd only read about them. I knew they were big kitties, but I didn't really appreciate how big till I saw them for myself!

Hello. I'm a Maine Coon kitty
This lovely kitty weighs over 10 kgs
(more than double the weight of an average moggie).

Maine Coons are very placid cats

There were lots of ooohhhhs and aaahhhs from the crowd whenever this enormous kitty was taken for a walk!

Big beautiful kitty
Maine Coons come in lots of different colours

Another big beautiful kitty
Something they all have in common is that they are huge (and beautiful, obviously)

I have always loved Maine Coons. I think mostly the bigger show cats are placid, I have a pure silver male maine coon, and he is quite playful, especially around water.
Great pictures!

Hola Carla. Estos gatos son definitivamente muy bellos! Sin embargo, no son míos. Yo solamente les tome fotografías hace algunos años cuando fui al Cat Show de Nueva York.

The silver & white maine coon looks so much like my maine coon that passed away a little over a month ago. They look so much alike it's scary! I miss my baby so much!
