Does SK like Maine Coons?

[Dances_in_Underwear]

They are a breed of cat. They are very fluffy and beautiful and native to Maine. I just figured since Stephen King loves Maine so much, he might like their state cat.

Does anyone know if he likes them? Has he ever owned one? Am I just a crazy cat lady? Lol...I know his daughter had a cat named Smucky but I'm not sure if it was a Maine Coon.

They have had cats but none of them have been Maine coon cats during the time that I've worked for them.

Hi,

Great looking cats in pics (but there are no ugly cats) but I've never met a real one.

Someone care to post pics?

Long days and pleasant nights

This is such an honor that Ms. Mod was the first person to respond to my thread! Well he should get a Maine Coon. They're wonderful cats! Lol..

Probably easier to link to the Wiki article on Maine Coon as there's no one picture that would be typical of the breed.

Oh oh...!!! I had a Maine coon cat... his name was Scruffy.... he was a stray that I coaxed and cajoled until I could finally pet/tame him... He liked to fight... and looked very "scruffy" when I first saw him....
Big cat... he had paws bigger than my dog's. He always brought my Mom some dead creature as a gift every morning at the back door.

He was a beautiful cat when he was brushed out.

He looked at lot like this fella....

Good looking cats with a little bit of a wild edge to them. They remind me of bobcats.

That is such a beautiful cat! He looks so regal and cute. Like he's saying "I'm beautiful and everyone else sucks." Lol

I worked in a feed store years ago and we sometimes housed cats for the local SPCA. One time we had a cat go on the lam. It was a Maine Coon cat named Russell. We caught him with a humane trap baited with a tin of food, and I was the one given the pleasure of donning heavy leather gloves to get him out of the trap and back into his cage for viewing. Well, by the time Russell was adopted, we had become friends. Beautiful cat. He had the personality of a golden retriever once he'd settled down a bit.

I agree, they are beautiful animals-and as with every feline-if they had thumbs they'd rule the world! Also, is it just me-or would "Maine Coons" be a great name for a semi-pro baseball team?
