Leslie, that is SO cute - I'm really happy for you. My daughter just looked at the picture and asked if that was our cat Sophia when she was a kitten. They could be sisters. Have you picked a name for her yet?

Sophia, feeling frisky.

Gorgeous kitten, what a wonderful face!!
Do MC come in a variety of colors? We have a litter that we found in the woods abandoned, and now that they have grown, three of them are HUGE, really long bodies, really long busy tails, and they weigh a ton. But only one has tabbish markings, the others are black and white.
Just wondering.
Thanks for sharing .

Maine Coons can have just about any coloring, I think. Sophia isn't pedigreed, but she has all the characteristics of a MC. She's what I think is called "foundation stock," or a naturally occurring MC outside of a breeding program. I don't think they're uncommon. She came from an animal shelter, picked up as a stray as a little kitten.

Leslie, I like the name you chose. My friend Marilyn had a dog named Ruffles - because as a puppy she was the same color as the potato chip. . . .

Many cats have a bit of the Main Coon in them. My "Buddy" has the points on his ears, the flat broad nose with a little hump and the strong broad shoulders. He also has incredibly long whiskers. Speak of the devil here he is, must know I am typing away about him.
