Thanks, I miss Sammy, still.  He went missing August 11, 2008.  I know because it was my neice's 1st birthday...every year since I have mourned Sammy...

Maine Coon's are usually huge. My newest, Lemmy, though a rescue, the vet says is a Maine, I have had him since Dec, got him at 7 weeks, and he has more than doubled his size already (and not just in weight, he is going to be a very big boy), his paws are huge. They say they are gentle giants...I had another Maine, who I lost 4 years ago at age 13 to cancer, before he got sick he weighed 28 pounds and he wasn't fat, just very big. I absolutely love the breed, but then again, there really isn't a breed I don't love...LOL

The vet told me he was a Mane Coon, and his fur was like that and he would lose his mane like them, but they're usually over 20 pounds, so I'm not sure.  Thanks.  God bless all cat owners!!!

His coat is amazing. I realize he was a stray but I never saw a coat like this, do you have any idea what kind of cat he was. I am so very sorry for your loss. God Bless you for taking them in and giving them a loving home. They know the people who love them and the love they give back is beyond words...

This was my beloved Sammy.  Though he looks big, he was onl 5 pounds!  We had 13 and 15 and 16 pound males, but Sammy, though they were all neutered, was the "Alpha" cat!  Especially in the winter, as here, when he would get his winter coat!  He lost his mane in the warm spring and it wouldn't return until fall!  Sammy disappeared last August.  We think he was killed by a neighbor's dog, who knocked down their fence the same day Sammy disappeared.  All our cats are strays we've taken in and with so many and all strays it's impossible to keep them in all the time.  Sammy loved to cuddle and would actually hold my finger in his paw.  He was precious to me and the brother of Bob and Esther.  They were found 9 years ago, in a cardboard box that had been taped shut and thrown on the side of the bayou in 110 degree weather one June day.  We nursed them to health and they have been a blessing to us ever since.  We miss Sammy very much...
