Here is a black smoke stunner... Apollo brother from the mother of our babies.... I have been hoping and praying for another one.. maybe next year!!!

A stunner indeed!
Love his white paws...

He is lovely. I would never have realised that those markings were black smoke - I assumed that black smokes were shades of black, didn't expect any white. Is he a 'typical' black smoke (if such a thing in the world of MC's exists!)?

Our Minnie’s mum is black smoke but she has two white toes on one of her front feet. So I guess larger markings are possible too. (Btw, I see the cat in Debbie’s picture has a white chin as well. He still looks ravishing though.)

Ohhh I love black smoke as well!! They are not that rare to find, and one day I hope to own my own black smoke maine coon.
It's one of my favourite colours in Maine Coons, next to blue (tabby), black (tabby) and white. I know someone with a black smoke tortie with white Maine Coon and that coonie is absolutely gorgeous! So maybe that would be an option as well for the future, but with torties my problem usually is that I find it more difficult to find one to my liking...

This is one of my first Maine Coons - she was a tortie smoke and white....I would kill to get another girl with this colouring.

She's really cute - not usually a tortie fan (yes, realise the irony now I have a blue tortie tabby!) - her little white ruff and paws looks really good with her tortie markings.

We got our Black Smoke "Raggles" at no extra cost. He is the brother Storm of WoodsideMaineCoons from "Sueragdandy" in Cardiff. Susan has a few "smoked" kittens available at the moment.
