1. Oh my, we have one of those only a little over a year old..

I better get a bigger litter box - maybe a wheelbarrow.

Under bed storage containers.

8. I've read that Maine Coons are not fully grown until they are 4 years old.

2. My MIL was into Maine Coon Cats,,,,she had one. Nasty cat...did not trust it.

3. I had a Maine Coon mix ( part Angora)

He was a very nice cat and lived into his 20s. Maybe the Angora side of him kept him nice. But I guess they are like any other living thong. There are good ones and bad ones.

5. I think her cat was semi-domesticated.

Got the free food, but did not particularly like humans that showed up on an infrequent basis,

10. I have several friends who have Maine Coon cats

They're often very intelligent with great personalities.

11. Indiscriminate breeding at work.

Some huge cat somewhere in the past family tree.

Cheetah, leopard. Something like that.

Are the Coons slow and lazy, or are they good ratters?

15. My son gave us his Maine Coon Cat

His girlfriend gave him a MCC kitten. Cutest little thing you ever saw.

About a month later he broke up with his girlfriend and a month after that joined the military.

"Squeak" got a new home with the wife and I.

She became a member of our family for 16 years. We absolutely loved her.

She loved my wife and I but hated everybody else in the world. She just barely tolerated our son when he came to visit. She would have nothing to do with the grandkids or any visiting friends or other family members.

She spent the days hunting, following me around the house and yard and sleeping on my wife's lap.

She passed a couple of years ago and my wife and I still miss her.

16. Happy to hear of your wonderful memories of Squeak.

I had a cat named Sqeaky because she squeaked like a squeak toy instead of meowing. She was just a little calico but the meanest cat I ever had. She was only nice to me and my daughter.
