Hi Mary
Scylla posted a couple of pics of 2 of my Maine Coons - I am a slave to 6 of them & 2 moggies & I love them all to bits
The Coonies truly are the sweetest natured cats I've ever known, they just love to be loved
They are beautiful...and BIG! Now that's what I call a cat!
I love big dogs too, never saw the point in little dogs, even if they are adorable...I need one to scare people (even if they don't really bite and will just lick you to death).

I love Maine Coons...had a van (all white with a black tail). Yes, most maine coons are sweeties...but you do have to watch who get one from...my friend got a female to show and breed and that cat was MEAN...my friend quit breeding her because she didn't want to pass on the trait. Two babies of the mean one went to reside with another friend...the one was as sweet as his daddy and the second one was mean like his mom. Their breeder, her 14 year old granddaughter and I were visiting the friend who had the brothers. The mean one cornered the granddaughter in the kitchen. We were in the living room and heard Amber call for her granny, "come get me granny...Stoney has me pinned in." Too, too funny.
Of course, I'd never pet him even when he begged...'cause I knew at any minute he'd just turn around and bite.
Mine was a sweetheart and my friend (the breeder) has a big old boy who I can hear purring when we talk on the phone.

Max is a pet me till...ever. lol. To the point he drives you INSANE. I cook dinner with him rubbing on me. I walk, he is all over me. I step out on the balcony and he becomes convinced that if he keeps it up, he can swim through glass. BAMBAMBAMBAMBAM. I am on the laptop, he knocks things (big things) off the table...while looking at us. He TELLS you he is being bad by coming over and knocking over the spray bottle!
But, he also sits on command, and stands. And likes to do Sit Pretty (one paw held up while sitting). He will do that to ask for a treat...
And he is the fluffiest snuggliest little ........ He was actually an oops, he was at the cat shelter (no kill, at least there was that, and like 900 cats). She insisted he was 6 months old, he was fixed. Guess what, the vet I took him to said he was fixed, but more like 3 MONTHS AHHHHHHH old.
Well, there you have it, how I accidentally got a Maine .....

Oh! And that pic is with a mostly shaved belly, it got to 103 here one day (this is Seattle so don't even start about how HOT it is always there, we went from 60's to 103 in like a day, and NOBODY here has AC, there was no getting used to it, it just HAPPENED). He was developing heat stroke, I had dumped a bag and a half of ice in the fishtank already so that gives you an idea, so we buzzed his belly to 1/2". He purred while we were shaving him (go ahead and make all the shave your WHAT jokes ).
Here is the hot, panting, letting me pet him with ice cold washrags kitty:
(and Tippy's face, she was hot but she has short hair, she got petted too now and then!)
Here is the happy kitty checking out his pile o'fur
