heres a couple of pictures of gypsy, Does she look part maine coon? Thought i would ask as i know a few of you own maine coons  :thanks:






Here are a few questions for you that might help to decide if she has Maine Coon in her.

1. Does she have tuffs of fur between her paws?
2. Does she have a box face mussel?
3. Does she have fury breeches?
4. Does she make a trilling noise in her meow?

Maine Coons have a tail as long as there body but if she is a cross she may not, also they take 4 yrs to grow to full size  :shify: :shify:

She looks like she could have Maine Coon tendancies  ;D

That owner sounds terrible, I would scratch someone too if they pulled my ear!

Exactly! I hate people like that and ho the hell can you have a perfectly healthy cat PTS? makes me so angry.

My mum is just curious as to what she (she loves her anyway and hasnt even got her yet  :rofl:) is the current owner (if you can call her that) said that she is half maine coon but not sure what she is crossed with, Apparently she is 18 inches long from the back of her neck to her bum so pretty big, she also has a very fluffy tail. I think she is gorgeous i would of loved to have her but think she would bully my 2 kittens  :rofl:

She's gorgeous!!!

The ruff is typical Maine Coone........does she have a big fluffy tail?  She doesn't have lynx tips, but then neither did my last ginger boy who inherited a long coat from his maine coone mum, but his dad was a mog.

Having said I think there's other breeds that have a similar coat - i.e. ragdoll?

Up untill the 3rd of this month she has 3 cats charlie, mitz and baz there all getting on abit charlie being 17 and the other 2 not far behind.

Anyway at the rescue i got kitty from there was this little old girl called amy shs 16 she joined my mum on the 3rd for her 2 week trial period, well she is settled in perfectly and charlie shares his bed with her  :Luv:  :Luv:

Then yesterday mum saw this add up a shop '4 year old part maine coon cat urgently seeking a home at risk of being PTS' well my mum decided to call them but insisted that she wasn't going to get her but said she would find a home for her. She rang the women up and the  :censored: is getting rid of her because her kid pulled her ear then the cat scratched her  >:(  >:( things like this make me so angry!
My mum then rang me to ask if i would go with her to great yarmouth tommorrow to collect her (today now) we were meant to be going today but due to the floods all the roads in yarmouth were shut mum is now going to collect her on monday but is worried the woman may have her put  to sleep before then  :(

Thats my mum back up 2 5 cats  :rofl:

I will have to post pictures of them all when i get round to it. Im not sure if gypsy looks like a maine coon or not as i don't have any experience of this breed  :shy:
