Thread: When did you Maine Coon get a "mane"?

oooh NekoChan that's so encouraging, I don't have any other Maine Coon to compare my 2 years old girl with, so I keep comparing her with pictures found on the net - she doesn't have much of a mane either. Of that age, I seem to have found only pictures of males with a mane, and so from what you're saying and from what I suspected, it might be that females develop it when they finish growing up...
Don't get me wrong, I looooove my Neevie, I just don't want other cats to laugh at her because she doesn't have a mane, you know....

Edit: Your girl is just BEAUTIFUL especially with long hair!
