Thread: What made you choose a Maine Coon?

Originally I was just looking for a moggie, wasn't interested in a pedigree at all.

However I was looking through various listings online for kittens and saw Maine Coon kittens advertised in one ad - now, being British my initial reaction to the name is obviously going to be different than our friends across the pond - once I had finished laughing / being in a state of disbelief I went to Google to find out what was going on.

Then I find out that not only is the breed unfortunately named, they are also massive by cat standards.

So then I carry on reading about this novelty oversized, racially inappropriately named cat and find out that they are known for having an awesome disposition and temperement, that they are smart, and are a pretty healthy breed. Also the kitten pictures were just adorable.

The rest as they say is history. MCs > All other cats.
