I was going to refer to it as a pussy cat in the title but the swear/bar word filter on this site is a bit ott.

These photos were no doubt taken at an angle that makes the cat look enormous, but it is still a huge critter.

If it had the personality of my late Princess Merlin it would probably have to go and live in a wildlife park for the safety of others - she was a spontaneous attack cat.

Isn't he a beauty.! Looks like a giant version of my Caspar...who my daughter thought had Maine Coone in him. He had the personality and the big jaws.
Wish they'd spell MAINE correctly.

Caspar - he was the really quiet one, wasn't he? :-) Toby must be almost silent in comparison.

They are beautiful cats, I'm sort of sure that B00 has one - it's bigger than her dog.

Can you picture how much damage a bad-tempered Maine Coone could do?!

Nooo...Caspar was the deaf cat that was never quiet...he always had something to say. I miss that sometimes.
Maine coons are lovely! (I'm hoping that AB's filter doesn't delete the second word there, as I notice that the posts above have an extra 'e' added onto the end, which shouldn't actually be there).

However the bill to feed one probably isn't cheap!

you missed my sarcasm. :-)

Frankie and Merlin were quite chatty and always had some input into all household decisions. They were never lap cats although they often slept with or on me at night.

Toby loves you in his own way, like people some cats are not very good at showing affection.

pasta - Caspar has Maine Coon lugs.

He was a really handsome boy.
He’s a bit human like. Susan you never replaced Frankie or Merlin why ?

Anne - my mental health is much more stable without the cats to look after. I may get another cat or two but, for now, looking after only myself is hard work.

I used to make myself ill worrying about Frankie's asthma and ended up rushing off to check on him when I heard any strange noise. I know that this is normal behaviour but it was morphing out of control.
I'm happy for now - pretending to be a grown-up.
That makes complete sense Susan, it’s amazing how our pets affect our lives,good/bad. You deserve to be no. 1 in your life . :-)
>>> I know that this is normal behaviour

Yup! Totally normal! Well, it is in my house anyway ;-)

For example, a couple of mornings ago, I heard Moonbeam crying outside. So I put some extra special (i.e. extra expensive) cat food on a paper plate for him and went outside to give it to him. Then I noticed his big brother, Chequers, watching him and I knew that, as soon as my back was turned, Chequers would shove Moonbeam out of the way to get at the food. So I had to stand guard over Moonbeam until he'd finished eating.

So, of course, it was perfectly normal that I was stood on the front path of my house, in nothing but my underpants and clutching a torch, at 4.15 in the morning. Er, wasn't it then?

;-)
Totally normal. :-)
Chris, for some reason I just saw that image as something out of the sitcom Friday Night Dinner.
