After the passing of our Shaded Persian at 17 years old we rescued a male 5 year old Maine Coon, to tell you the truth I knew nothing if the breed but my wife fell in love with him. 15-20 lbs. and very cuddly. What blew me away was the 1st day he jumped onto our roof, blew me away. I'm in the process of introducing him to my 14 week old German Shepherd to Emerson who seems to want nothing to do with him.
