Some "original" Maine Coons were polydactyls (had extra toes). But modern, purebred Maine Coons are rarely polydactyls. My Maine Coon, Nishka (in the picture) is a polydactyl, making her paws even bigger than most Maine Coons.
A Maine Coons meow does not often actually sound like a meow! ( This explains why Nishka most often sounds like a cow trying to quack!!)
Maine Coons are the official state cat of.......Maine!!!
I love that photo! It's very adorable, and very much like Nishka.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that Nishka is a polydactyl, making her more rare than others. Did your parents know that when they got her?

As a matter of fact they did not even know that she was a Maine Coon. They just knew that she was the cutest kitten in the litter!

Awww... Corynn, that picture is just so cute and so adorable! When did you take it?
ReplyDeleteHow old is Nishka in human years now? She's so cute!
It's also pretty cool that she's a polydactyl.
In human years Nishka is 13. I don't know how that translates into cat years. Does anyone know?
