I just love Maine Coons. I always have. My cat at home is half Maine Coon--actually half (he's the product of a breeding queen getting outside, from what the shelter was told). He's adorable and I wuvs him, but we're probably not going to take him as my brother, who's somewhat emotionally fragile, has really latched on to him and Beau now follows him the way used to follow me (and still does, when I'm home).
We're going to get one ourselves, probably next spring late or next fall, as finances are very tight right now and won't loosen until I'm really employed again. I do love shelter kitties very much and if we get two kittens, as we've discussed, one of them will be a rescue, but I've always wanted a purebred Maine Coon, and since we're not likely to get kittens until next year, hubby promised me I could have any kind of kitty I wanted.
