Thread: What made you choose a Maine Coon?

When Dave and I decided to move in together we wanted to get a pet at the same time as we both love animals. I've had both cats and dogs in the past growing up whereas Dave has only had a grumpy Collie and a succession of lab puppies going through the early stages of Guide Dog training.

I was looking into getting a Ragdoll but came across Maine Coons (I think someone else in this thread just said the same thing!) and we both fell in love with the idea of them. I know someone who has four and she helped by telling me lots about hers. That was it...we set about finding a breeder and are currently enduring an agonising wait until May for Teddy's arrival.
