I need a maine coon cat

[backwoodsbob]

the local kids love when I take buddy walking in the city park..they can wrestle the dog that is bigger than them and he loves playing with them.

I need a 35+lb cat on the other side to freak them out :)

Gonna find me a coon cat rescue who is leash trained :)

2. No, you need one of these.

Now this would freak those kids out, wouldn't it? :evilgrin:

8. No way...

He'd hog the bed.

3. I have one, but you're not getting her!

Grrrr...


Besides, she's maybe 14 pounds of lazy fluff. ;-)

4. I have a 27 pound brown tabby...

...but I doubt he would walk on a leash. I DID have an orange tabby who would do that, and it was just adorable. He just trotted right along, a real trooper. The only thing that distracted him was motorcycles, or an especially appealing piece of green grass, where he would lay his face in the soft greenness of it.

5. My mom has one!

She's a lazy furball that thinks we are her slaves! :rofl:

7. My sweet coon, Joey

was found as a tiny kitten hiding under a parked car, barely weaned. He's gorgeous (sorry no pics), extraordinarily sweet, and passive. He looks huge but he's mostly fur. He only weighs 10.5 pounds, so he wouldn't qualify. Plus I'd never give him up, of course. My whack-job tuxedo, on the other hand.....

10. when i married my wife had a maine coon

Named Ruffles

Sadly he was the best part of the whole deal.

11. Or a Savannah cat ... They look like wild cats but are a domestic breed

On the other hand, I hate the idea of helping breeders! There are plenty of big awesome kitties in shelters.
