Sunny, as do our other Maine Coons, likes to go out to the cat enclosure when it rains. He will then come in wet
and hop into someone's lap. One of the joys of Maine Coons!

Sunny was Best Kitten in Show in his 1st TICA show.

Teddy was our first Maine Coon. He is a brown classic tabby.
He is the friendliest cat we have ever owned. It is not uncommon when people
visit for Teddy to run over and stand up with his paws on their stomach and
wait to be picked up. This spooks the UPS delivery men! He is a great lap cat and
often sleeps next to us at night with his head on my pillow. He loves
kittens and is very gentle with them. He is also fond of wrestling with the other
adult males.
Christmas Teddy
Teddy had a short career in the show hall. Although he likes
individual cats, he does not like being in a room with hundreds of them. He did,
however, earn his Premier title in CFA. (Premier is the CFA title for a Champion Alter.)

Mack is our great red boy. He is a red mackerel tabby with white.
He is Teddy's half brother (same father)
and is about 2 years younger than Teddy. He has been more successful in the show
ring because he is very relaxed around other cats, no matter how many of them there
are, and also because he is a gorgeous boy. While he is more reserved around human
strangers (he takes 5 minutes or so to come
around) he is also a great snuggler, although on his terms. He likes to get on my
chest and groom my beard!
Well, okay, Winston is not a Maine Coon. Winston was a birthday gift
from our son Bob back in 1997. Winston is the smartest cat we have owned and a great
talker. He has a large vocabulary of meows and a few trills. We have learned to
discern about 10 of his sounds and he understands maybe 20 English words. He is
a very civilized boy and is a positive influence on the other cats. Winston's
inner kitten still show himself and he loves to play with the other boys.
