    Eye candy for yah'll

    I found this website and could not take my eyes off the show cats, esp.white Maincoon:

    G & S - MAINE COON

    I know I will never participate in shows but looking at those who does brightens my day.

    Eye Candy

    Super site & lovely cats,there were a few on there that I would luv to have a cuddle with.
    As for showing I always said that was something I would never do,when two of my friends started I thought they were stupid,no way,all that preparation before hand,early morning starts,putting your cats & yourself through it all,must be mad......ah,hah,famous last words, don't do so many during winter months now,going & coming home in the dark were a nightmare so only do the closer ones but its a bit like being on here,lots of new friendships made & another family to close round you.

    Wow, I do like the chunky sturdy look of some of these cats. Very impressive.
    When we got Tatja, her breeders asked if we'd be interested in showing. But like Jackie I wasn't keen on the idea of all the preparations, etc. Besides, however lovely my Coonies look to me, I don't think they'll stand the remotest of chances among all those stunners you see at shows.

    Some lovely cats but I thought those under the headings of male and female had a sort of worried look to their expression.

    Being somewhat obesssive about white maine coons (ahem!) and being daft enough to show one - I have a big interest in other peoples. This lady has a fabulous odd-eyed white boy: http://somacoon1.ifrance.com/ and also this cattery: SI*MultiCoon MCO Cattery Slovenia and in the US Furkats Maine Coon Cats: Pictures, Retired Adults. And one for luck: PrairieBaby Maine Coon Cats - who also breed white polys (my personal 'holy-grail'). Hope you enjoy the pics

    Thank you for sites of truly stunning white "tigers". The smokey cat muzzle is almost frightening.

    .

    Well said. However, our kitties are CUTE AND ADORABLE. They have a different job and purpose -MAKING US HAPPY. I think they are very fortunate not to be slaves of a "cat walk", not to be baby machines in the breeding compound but to serve a very honorary goal to have their own slaves and to make them content and happy.

    Some stunning cats on there but I am not sure that I would ever want to go into the show circuit, I am getting a Maine Coon because I think they are gorgeous because I want to give my fluff ball (at the moment) a loving home. She may not be a picture perfect breed specimen but I think she is beautiful.

    And that is enough for me

    I agree in one respect I find Wellys white a pain & actually ran a thread on here about getting white socks white, but the one & only time I really got took up on presentation was with my brown tabby boy,I don't know who was having an off day,him or me with the preparation but his coat was as dull as dull,very noticable with a dark coloured cat,so does have the down sides as well....!
