God is Great! God is Good! He Played A Terrific Joke on Humans. Maine Coons.
Edited on Tue Sep-28-10 02:10 PM by MineralMan
Someone told me the other day that all tabby Maine Coon cats have an "M" on their foreheads. Well, I had a look, and sure enough, my 26 lb. gray tabby Maine Coon cat has just such an "M" right smack in the middle of its forehead. I wish I'd known what I know now before I picked up that kitten four years ago.

God was clearly trying to warn people when he did that. The "M" quite obviously stands for Moron. Now, I knew that my Maine Coon was a Moron. If only I'd known about God's warning to humans before I said, "Oh, how cute! Look at the little tufts of hair on the bottom of its feet!"

:rofl:

1. all tabby cats - not just Maine Coons - have that "M" on
their foreheads.

And it does NOT stand for Moron, it stands for MAGNIFICENT. Get with the program!

Does your Maine Coon skid along smooth surfaces on those furry feets? Our beautiful Silver likes to get up some speed and then sliiiiide along the wooden floors. :D

2. My Maine Coon never moves fast enough to skid anywhere.

It can jump into any box on the floor, though, and go to sleep for hours. It can also bulk our other cat away from its food, in order to further enhance its own massive self. It can hide deep in the storage shelves in the basement whenever anyone new comes into the house, then stay there for three days. It's a Moron Maine Coon. Stupidest cat that ever lived. Why, that cat is so stupid that...well, you name a stupid thing a cat can do, and it does it regularly. The very stupidest thing it does is refuse to let me rub its tummy. A genuine Moron Maine Coon...a special gift from a God that's laughing His ass off right now.

Not only does the M stand for Moron, it also stands for huMungous.

Hmph!

my own and would walk into my apartment to play with all my cat's toys and eat my cat's treats. My cat is not a small wuss but was powerless where this huge cat was concerned. Monster didn't put up a fight, didn't even growl. I guess there are advantages to being "HUGH"!! LOL!

6. I saw the "M" on the forehead on cats 101 tv program
My Maine Coon has a big M in the middle of his big forehead. He is huge, but the most gentle, nicest cat I have seen.

7. Actually, ALL those with tabby markings have
the M on their forheads, regardless of their colors. There are multiple stories of the meaning of the "M." Here is a link to tell you about sokme of them.

8. Actually our Maine Coon was wonderful with small children, just as Flaxbee's miniature
Maine Coon that we adopted is wonderful with our daughter. Please, MM, Maine Coons are wonderful cats and are very friendly, except for the occasional skid mark on the carpet. Sorry, Flaxbee, Sonia has done that a couple of times.

:hi:

11. My Maine Coon is the smartest creature I've ever met, and I'm including humans.
Edited on Wed Sep-29-10 12:39 AM by jobycom
She is 17, and she stares at you at times and you just know she is thinking "Stupid human. I wonder what he would do if he knew I could speak." She freaks people out when they first see her, with that look. Everyone who meets her within a couple of minutes will ask her "What?" out loud as she looks at them, because she looks like she's on the verge of speaking. Sometimes she'll even answer, with this slow, quiet "mrow" that sounds like speech. Amazing cat.

She also gets mad if you don't pet her. She will sit by you when she wants to petted and if you don't start, she will hook your hand with her claw and draw it towards her head as she leans towards you.

The M on her head stands for "Momma Mia that's a scary smart beast!"
