Thread: What’s your favourite type/colour of Maine Coon and why?

I am partial to classic brown tabbies with or without white. I've only come to love the brown classics because of our beloved dear Missy (RIP). She was like a little miniture brown grizzly bear.
My next favorite and hoping to add to our clan is a Red boy.

hiya, yeah im thinking in getting another coonie to add to the two i have got and i think i would want a brown tabby with white like your Tequila , i just love his tipped ears. i would love a pure white coonie but their hard to find.

Personally I love Torties, I love the look of Silvers and Blues but Torties have that extra ...something???

Since I've been breeding I've discovered that the Red Tabbies seem to be by far the most sought after. Every one I've had has been the first to be snatched up.

Just today I had to tell someone that our latest Red boy has already found a home (and he's only 4 days old!!!)

I'm hoping one day I will have a big litter of nothing but Red Tabbies so i don't have to disappoint anyone :/

I love the look of the brown tabby. But I always try to get each new furbaby in a different color then the previous furbabies. I guess I'm just weird that way.

Def love red tabbies - Sunshine the big fat ginger boy as I call him! But our girls are blue tortie tabby and white - and their coats are really eye-catching. Def something magical about a naughty tortie!

I'm going to have to say red for fear of being attacked by Mufasa lol! But I love most of them and *whispers* am particularly fond of the brown tabbies too!

Black smoke is number one for me... especially when they have bright yellow eyes like El Monto.

Interesting that where you are, the Red's go first. Cuz, my breeder only had Reds left. The brown tabbies were more popular. He was willing to give me a red boy at a discounted price since he had more of them than the browns.

Red classic tabbys are my favorite, when my mum offered to buy me Jimmy for my 21st he had to be a red classic tabby, had to search for him for a while but I refused every other colour lol

My Jimmy came from a litter of 7 red tabby boys.

One of my greatest regrets is that when I got Samantha the breeder had 3 half siblings (same Dad) that were 8 months old and were red and white tabby's.
She offered me a discount on one of them and I declined, I was a guerrilla cat owner, my apartments didn't allow pets and I felt 2 of the big furry monsters would give the show away.
